Course Overview
The Automation in Manufacturing online course is a 12 weeks program provided by Swayam, an initiative by the Government of India’s Ministry of Education. The manufacturing industry accounts for a significant portion of our country's GDP. The use of automated technologies is undoubtedly increasing the productivity of the industrial industry. As a result, a course on "Automation in Manufacturing" is being developed, with a major focus on the design and implementation of automated processes in manufacturing.
Automation in Manufacturing training begins by introducing several automated technologies utilized in the industrial business. The components of a typical automated machine are then outlined. It examines the operating principles and design details of transducers/sensors, actuators, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, motors, and mechanisms. The Automation in Manufacturing syllabus includes information on programming, microprocessor technology, and CNC technology. The information is given clearly and with real-life examples and case studies from the industrial business.
