Description

Manufacturing industry contributes a major share in the GDP of our country. Application of automated systems is certainly improving the productivity of the manufacturing industry. In view of this, a course on “Automation in Manufacturing” is designed with the primary focus on the design and development of automated systems in the manufacturing. Initially the course introduces various automated systems being used in the manufacturing industry. Then the building blocks of a typical automated system are described. It presents a study on the principle of operation and construction details of sensors/transducers, actuators, drives and mechanisms, hydraulic and pneumatic systems. It also covers up the microprocessor technology, programming and CNC technology. The contents are lucidly presented with real-life examples. Case studies based on manufacturing industry applications are presented.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

UG, PG students of Mechanical, Production, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering. Practicing engineers.

PREREQUISITES

Knowledge of basic electronics and electrical engineering.

INDUSTRIES  SUPPORT

All automobile manufacturing, mobile phone manufacturing industry, aviation industry

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Shrikrishna N. Joshi has completed his doctoral studies in the area of Intelligent process modeling and optimization of electric discharge machining process from IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India in 2009. Currently, he is working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India. He was a visiting faculty at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, Thailand in 2015. His research interests include mechatronics and manufacturing automation, CAD/CAM, advanced and precision manufacturing processes with a focus on applications of laser in manufacturing, thin-wall machining and single point diamond turning. Three PhD students have been graduated under his supervision and eight are in pipe-line. He has published about 55 research papers and six book chapters in refereed international journals and conferences. He has edited two books on “Laser-based manufacturing” and a book on Advances in Computational Methods in Manufacturing with Springer Nature. He has carried out sponsored and consultancy research work of about 50 Lakhs. The consultancy work was aimed at “Mechanization of Food Grain Handling Operations at FCI Godowns”. Dr. Joshi has also developed a web course on Mechatronics and Manufacturing Automation under the scheme of NPTEL of MHRD, Govt. of India. The course was very well appreciated among the engineering industry, academia and research community. He has conducted this course at IIT Guwahati four times for B.Tech final year, M.Tech. and Ph.D students.

Certification Process

1. Join the course
Learners may pay the applicable fees and enrol to a course on offer in the portal and get access to all of its contents including assignments. Validity of enrolment, which includes access to the videos and other learning material and attempting the assignments, will be mentioned on the course. Learner has to complete the assignments and get the minimum required marks to be eligible for the certification exam within this period.

COURSE ENROLMENT FEE: The Fee for Enrolment is Rs. 3000 + GST

2. Watch Videos+Submit Assignments
After enrolling, learners can watch lectures and learn and follow it up with attempting/answering the assignments given.

3. Get qualified to register for exams
A learner can earn a certificate in the self paced course only by appearing for the online remote proctored exam and to register for this, the learner should get minimum required marks in the assignments as given below:

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE
Assignment score = Score more than 50% in at least 9/12 assignments.
Exam score = 50% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100
Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.”

4. Register for exams
The certification exam is conducted online with remote proctoring. Once a learner has become eligible to register for the certification exam, they can choose a slot convenient to them from what is available and pay the exam fee. Schedule of available slot dates/timings for these remote-proctored online examinations will be published and made available to the learners.

EXAM FEE: The remote proctoring exam is optional for a fee of Rs.1500 + GST. An additional fee of Rs.1500 will apply for a non-standard time slot.
