About

Shashi Bahl is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and digital transformation. Her research focuses on how emerging technologies—particularly AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Industry 5.0 frameworks—are reshaping production systems and supply chains. In her highly cited review on AI applications in Indian manufacturing (71 citations), Bahl provides a comprehensive roadmap for integrating intelligent systems into traditional industrial settings. She further explores the evolution from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0, examining how digital management systems and automation can enhance efficiency, sustainability, and human-machine collaboration. Her work on IoT-driven automation for e-logistics in supply chains (13 citations) addresses the practical challenges of implementing cyber-physical systems in real-world logistics networks. Bahl’s contributions are particularly valuable for bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and on-the-ground industrial adoption, making her a key reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the future of smart manufacturing in developing economies.
