At this time of the year many of us active in the T&M industry Globally are back from the Holidays and for others it is biginning of the Financial year as well. I thought it will be in order to do just some imagineering and kite-flying on our industry.
Well our industry is fantastic no doubt, yet it will not hurt if we encounter few innovations in place both in terms of selling and supporting to newer users and applications but also defining new platformsand architecures.And these innovations need to be relevant to Indian conditions and the needs of the user Industry here,which is being served by our Professionals. Towards that I seek our being able to reach out Global Standards of Modulars,a new methodology of common platform of testing across frequencies and may be a new indigeneously developed integration of hardware and software/services.
We in India are somehow stuck in old portable mentality and all technology based new announcements are going waste.We are just commoditising more and more and in the bargain we are losing price-realisation and not moving up the value chain of technology/integration or applications.In any industry with time,the Services oriented Architecture drives the total revenues.And the paradigm thinks bigger and bigger envelope of Hardware plus Services.So,in that respect we need to think beyond the box,and outside the box simultaneously.
For an immediate thought I propose we start replacing and substituting portable instruments by modular instruments (may be PXI architecture) to leverage maximum work being done Globally.This will have twin advantage of using standardised modular instrument and also encourage us to think "systemic" by using packaged software and other data sheeted services from T&M companies.The functionality of test will improve and ultimately the user will gain in terms of Quality,Productivity and Profitability. The possibility for T&M will be incremental business for hardware and services finely tuned for the user.
I will discuss these thoughts and road maps in future Blog Posts. Trust you are off to a good start in 2013 !
