FX Alumni Association organized a guest lecture in association with department of Mechanical Engineering for the Fourth year Mechanical students. Er. S.Jim Andrew., Supervisor., JBM Groups., Hosur. delivered the guest lecture on Automation and Robotics in Manufacturing. A heartfelt greeting to the resource person is extended by Dr. R. Samuel Hansen, HOD-MECH. The expert resource thanked the management for offering him this opportunity.

The guest lecture on "Automation and Robotics in Manufacturing" provided valuable insights into how these technologies are transforming modern manufacturing processes. The speaker began by explaining the basic concepts of automation and robotics, highlighting how automation reduces manual intervention in repetitive tasks, while robotics introduces precision and flexibility into production lines. This integration has led to significant improvements in efficiency, reducing production time and costs while maintaining consistent product quality. The lecturer emphasized that these innovations have revolutionized industries like automotive and electronics manufacturing.

It focus on to the specific applications of robotics in manufacturing. Examples included robotic arms used in assembly lines, autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) for transporting materials, and automated quality control systems using AI-powered sensors. The lecturer also discussed the impact of robotics on job roles, explaining that while some tasks are automated, new opportunities in robot maintenance.
