Remember when you went on those educational trips from school to learn about things and how they are made? Well, the fun it seems isn’t over even when you’re an adult. That’s when Pushpendra Gautam decided to take one himself, armed with his trusty camera. What emerged from his trip to the Siemens factory in Kalwa outside Mumbai is truly a take worth sharing.What’s so special about this particular factory you ask? Well, for one it’s celebrating a legacy that’s half a century old. But what made the journey interesting for Gautam is that he got to juxtapose what the factory looked like 50 years ago and what it looks like now.
Technology isn’t the only thing that’s been at the forefront of innovation for Siemens. From the looks of it they seem to have maintained a cool ecosphere too.
While progress means that machines now do a human’s work, let’s face it there are some things that need the human touch even today like they did 50 years ago.
Future technology mostly means replacing bulk with sleeker machinery like this one which assembles motors.
Spot the difference. That’s right, fewer people and a more focused and structured workplace.
Don’t you wish you could do this for all your photos of places and people? See what it looked like before and after. How cool would that be? In the last 50 years Siemens has added 4 more factories to the site.
At Siemens, the only thing that seems to have changed is how technology is used. This has been a time honoured commitment which has been a two way street for both, the organization and the dedicated work force. A 50 year legacy needs no introduction. Siemens manufactures some of the most efficient motors.
It’s no wonder that Siemens has managed the art of sustainability for the last 160 years.
It’s still all about team work and strict quality control which is one of the pillars of a sustainable form of existence.
Siemens Kalwa Motor Works started with manufacturing small size low voltage motors and 50 years later has one of the most diverse portfolios. Keeping ahead of its time has helped Seimens look forward to a more energy-efficient future.
