  • The Army's Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME) has launched a new initiative called “Project Beehive”.
  • Objective: To achieve greater automation of the corps and connect all its workshops onto an integrated smart network endowed with real-time data analytics capabilities.
  • Under WASP (Workshop Honeybees), army workshops have already been automated.
  • As part of Project Beehive, these WASPs or workshops would then sit on a centralised 'beehive'.
  • Real time data (repair, refurbishing and overhaul) of the army’s equipment would be made available centrally.
  • The Beehive was launched on September 1 and is expected to be completed by October 15, 2020.
