ABB India has signed an MoU with the National Institute of Technical Teachers Training & Research (NITTTR), Chandigarh to establish a Simulation Center of Excellence (SCoE) for teachers, students and industry engineers to develop a deeper understanding of the underlying multi-physics and design principles for the manufacturing of various best-in-class electro-mechanical equipment in India.
The electro-mechanical equipment industry is a critical element in the success of the proposed exponential growth in the Indian power sector and needs to reach a quality level among the best-in-class to become a manufacturing hub of global repute.
The transformation of power generation, transmission and distribution sector as well as of manufacturing industries increases the demand for competitive and high quality products to satisfy domestic demand and to increase India’s export.
Optimal and robust design of electromechanical equipment in the current context is guided by the recent advances high performance computing machines, parallel processing and simulation tools.
Digitalisation is starting to pervade human activities, be this leisure or business, still manufacturing of any equipment must be based on reliable design to handle the basic natural phenomena, namely thermal, mechanical and electromagnetics.
“In a bid to partner India’s vision of becoming a manufacturing hub, the SCoE is our endeavour to build a robust eco-system of next level training and support technologies to further the design, development and manufacturing of critical electro-mechanical equipment in the country,” said Giandomenico Testi, CTO, ABB India.
