Pepperl + Fuchs together with Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College (AKGEC) have recently established an advanced training facility in the field of industrial sensing at Center of Relevance and Excellence, AKGEC Ghaziabad.

This initiative taken up by Pepperl + Fuchs and AKGEC is yet another step in the industry-academia interface which brings relevant and contemporary knowledge in the domain of technology and industrial applications to the academic institutions for training and manpower development.

This initiative shall go a long way not only to aid the institution in imparting  education on relevant technology but it shall provide a good platform to give hands on training to students for a deeper understanding of the subject with the help of real life industrial equipment.

The training facility and course material are unique and tailored to meet the growing needs of Indian Industry and engineering education in the domain of Automation. The training facility covers in depth Industrial scenarios and has complementing hardware which suggests and trains the best fit technology and solutions.

It aptly covers the domain of modern industrial sensing, bus based technology, RFID and positioning systems. Students can be trained in these areas on world class training kits which can be said to be currently the best in India in the arena of education.

AKGEC has since long been striving to have a complete and effective facility for comprehensive development and training for budding and existing professionals. This addition to their existing facilities diligently covers the latest and important facet of technologies which shall enable the much needed and exhaustive exposure of equipment to their pupils and industry in general.

This facility shall be part of an integrated center for learning for Automation which has been mooted by AKGEC to increase the employability of fresh graduate engineers and is being facility to produce, retrain and guide existing professionals to in the field of Industrial Automation. The resulting trained manpower shall be an asset to the Indian manufacturing industry and shall help the industry to adopt the latest technologies to improve quality and productivity on the shopfloors.
