Over the decades, automation has become a standardised production tool empowering manufacturers to gain better control of their operations and production processes. With automation’s ability to streamline repetitive, hazardous, and tedious tasks, an automated system can perform load/unload tasks, processing, inspection, assembling or handling of parts unattended or lights out allowing one employee to work on several machines or other jobs at the same time. 

Bosch Rexroth India, one of the global market leaders in the area of Industrial Automation has recently entered into an MoU with GD Goenka University. Under this MoU, the University has established a Centre of Excellence in Industry 4.0 with products & technology supplied by Bosch Rexroth and this Centre of Excellence will be utilised for Training or Upskilling of the students, faculties & industry personnel on topics like PLCs, IIoT, SCADA & Industry 4.0.

Bosch Rexroth will render all the required assistance or technical support to GD Goenka in the form of conducting Internships, providing Industry projects, Industrial Visits, supporting Technical events or providing Job Opportunities.
