Mentor's Message

I am glad to share that VNIT Nagpur has setup Siemens Centre of Excellence in Industry 4.0 and Digitalization. It is a multidisciplinary, industrial collaboration that focuses on developing “Skill Excellence” for Academia and Industry. This CoE is envisioned as a link that aligns industry requirements with technical education to make industry-ready engineering graduates.

Siemens has designed various learning modules of different durations for Engineering, Polytechnic and ITI students for developing technical skills, enhancing knowledge, and opening up recruitment and start-up opportunities. Moreover, the aim of the CoE is to offer learning opportunities for industry personnel, technical teachers, practicing engineers and researchers. These learning tracks are jointly certified by Siemens and VNIT Nagpur. The CoE shall also offer consultancy services to Industries in automation, product development, process optimization, shop floor design, robotics, smart manufacturing, Internet of Things, Reverse Engineering etc. and in skill enhancement of existing employees. I appeal to all the stake holders to make maximum use of this state of the art technology available at VNIT Nagpur.
