CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMME
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BOMBAY
WORKSHOP ON
LOW COST AUTOMATION
FOR
COMPETITIVE MANUFACTURING
Date : July 9 - 11, 2003

Time : 9 AM To 6 PM

INTRODUCTION

Under the present regime of globalization and liberalization, quality enhancement and cost reduction are two major steps to enhance productivity when many factors (economic recession , slump in demand , risk , lack of funds with long gestation period) make heavy investment not possible. One of the very practical, safe, economical and rewarding strategies is the application of Low Cost Automation.

WHAT IS LOW COST AUTOMATION ?

Low Cost Automation is a technology that creates some degree of automation around the existing equipment, tools, methods and people, using mostly standard components available in the market.

PAYOFFS

Investment required is low , hence risk involved is low.

Automation is tailored around the existing machines with the people involved ; hence the changes are gradual, smooth and very cost effective,

  Technologies used are easy and simple to understand , maintain and upgrade ; losses will be minimal in case of breakdowns,

The hardware components are flexible and reusable and very adaptable to changes in product , market conditions etc.,

Labour resistance will be minimal since fatigue and drudgery of work get eliminated and they can be made to feel “involved” in the developments.

SCOPE

The course is aimed at developing the right perspective and understanding of this attractive aid to competitiveness. Apart from clarifying the basics case studies will be used from different types of industries to highlight the applications potential.
