Open Cell Manufacture of TV in India



Customs Duty on open cell for LED, LCD TV panels reduced to 5%
NEW DELHI, MARCH 24, 2018

In a move to promote domestic manufacturing, the government has decided to reduce customs duty on ‘open cell’ used in the manufacturing of LCD and LED television panels to 5 per cent from the current 10 per cent.

This move is based on request of  industry players to reverse the custom duty hike on open cell and other components used in making TV panels.

This will help the government’s Make in India vision and may lead to a developed manufacturing ecosystem in TV production.

India RPA Congress
BENGALURU, INDIA
12-13 DECEMBER, 2017

The India RPA & Cognitive Congress is assembling leading service delivery and automation professionals for frank and pragmatic discussion about RPA, the benefits and opportunities of this technology, and the real-world challenges they’re facing in implementation. Use cases from early adopters will demonstrate how machine learning technology and digitization solutions, such as OCR and NLP, can take out the human touchpoints of a process and supercharge RPA. This discussion will be framed within analysis of the organizational transformation that is necessary to fully maximize the ROI from process automation and future technological innovations.

Key Topics Include:

Quantifying and unlocking the potential of RPA: Building the business case, constructing a call-to-action proof-of-concept, selecting a process to pilot, the pros and cons of re-engineering before automating, vetting vendors and implementation partners, determining whether to start in F&A or HR, deciding whether to use an attended or unattended approach.
Implementing RPA: Change management & communication, aligning realistic leadership expectations, qualifying success, establishing a governance model, managing bot security and IT infrastructure.
Scaling RPA: Hub and spoke vs. ‘as a platform’, monitoring the performance of bots, managing global deployments, balancing speed and sustainability.
‘Supercharging’ RPA: Determining which processes are best suited to cognitive functionality and AI, and intelligently enhancing your RPA with that functionality.
Digital Transformation: Reconfiguring your organization to take full advantage of digital innovation.
