AR-926: SEMINAR Automation in Industry: Case Study 1 Credits (0 0 3)

Program Objective: The field of Automation is multidisciplinary in nature and caters to wide

spectrum of industries. The technology in use for different situations may also differ as per the

objectives to be achieved in respective cases. This program aims to expose students to study practical

standing of technologies in different industrial situations, analyze and compare them vis--vis other

competing technologies and hence present the case study as seminar. This should set a strong

background of the students with practical approach to tackle different situations.
