Last two decades has witnessed a tremendous surge in the
application of Automation Technology in Indian Industries partly as a means to
reduce the cost of production and partly to improve the quality of their
products so that they become competitive in the international market. This has
become necessary after opening up our economy to the global market. Automation
requires knowledge in drives and controls, which in turn requires insight in
PLC, Sensors and Mechatronics. Full benefit of automation can only be realized
when fundamental principles governing these areas of study are properly
understood.
With a view to producing trained personnel for automation in
industries ;Govt College of Engineering Amravati along with DIVY IT
Solutions-Pune; has gone into collaboration with IRAI, France who are
market leaders in drives and control equipment’s. This has resulted in
establishment of a state of the art Centre of Excellence at GCOEA campus.
The center prides itself of being equipped with the latest State
– of – the – Art equipment on PLC Scada ; Pneumatics, and Sensorics. The
centre is designed to cater to the needs of the ITI, Diploma and B.Tech
students with the present day industries going in for large scale automation,
this training program will no doubt add to the market value of these students
The working of this centre will expose the students
to different aspects of automation and to improve their knowledge in
hydraulic and pneumatic drives, logic circuits and sensor technology.
The centre will function on the concept of Industrial
environment in the Institute by providing hands on training to the students
in different fields of automation. The modules like VIRTUAL hydraulic
technology, industrial hydraulics, proportional technology, basic pneumatics, industrial
pneumatics, closed loop pneumatics and PLC based controls.
This centre of Excellence can design and offer tailor made
courses for employees of industries. Also the Centre will provide solutions to
the industrial problems through the consultancy works and projects on need
basis to enhance Industry- Institute- Interaction.
