CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) organized an Industrial Visit to Schneider Electric India Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru, on 23 October 2026 for  V Semester students. The visit was conducted to provide practical exposure to industrial automation technologies, research and development activities, and AI-driven industrial applications. Students visited the Research and Development laboratories of the Industrial Automation division and gained insights into advanced automation systems. The technical demonstrations showcased the integration of controllers, sensors, I/O modules, motor drives, HMIs, and industrial communication networks. Participants learned about the functioning of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in industrial process control. The session also highlighted the importance of industrial networks, testing, and validation in ensuring system reliability and product quality. Students were introduced to the applications of SCADA and Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for monitoring and managing industrial operations.

The visit helped students understand how automation technologies are combined with intelligent systems to improve industrial efficiency. Following the technical tour, students interacted with Mr. Veerendra Vasamsetty, Director – R&D, who shared insights into industry expectations, emerging technologies, and career opportunities. The discussion emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary skills and practical knowledge for aspiring AI professionals. The visit bridged the gap between classroom learning and real-world industrial practices while enhancing students’ awareness of automation and AI applications. Overall, the industrial visit provided a valuable learning experience and inspired students to strengthen their technical competencies for future careers in intelligent automation and Industry 4.0 domains.
