Cyient partners SR University to help develop curriculum for advanced manufacturing systems

On Monday, IT firm Cyient said it has signed an agreement to help establish an industry-oriented curriculum focusing on advanced manufacturing systems with Warangal-based SR University.

This would significantly help to reduce the expertise gap between the need for and availability of qualified talent in fields such as additive manufacturing design, a statement said.

Cyient has been a key additive manufacturing technology promoter and consumer and has developed polymer and metal additive manufacturing facilities in India and the United States.

The company has also partnered with marquee customers in the segments of aerospace and defence, medical technology, oil, automotive, and transport to produce technologically superior additively assembled components with tooling, reverse engineering, and obsolescence management applications.

Cyient has trained over 100 associates in additive manufacturing design through its extensive internal training programme in the past year. To further faculty and student research at SR University, Cyient will share its expertise in the area, the statement said.

Cyient and SR University will assist with this partnership to advance India's additive manufacturing industry, which is a core tenet of the 'Make In India' initiative, Cyient Senior Vice President, Mr. Rajendra Velagapudi stated.

He added, “We will develop industry-ready engineers with the capabilities in additive manufacturing to build cutting-edge solutions. This will help position India as a leader in additive manufacturing talent as companies across the world embark on a journey of digital transformation and adopt additive manufacturing as a key portion of their supply chains”.

In addition, Cyient will look to its academic partners including SR University to lead innovation in the field of advanced materials, architecture, and process controls through industry-aligned research and development, he stated.

Advanced development tools such as digital manufacturing, flexible automation, additive manufacturing, and autonomous robots have the greatest potential to impact efficiency in the manufacturing landscape and can also fuel creativity to build and grow new kinds of products economically, SR University Vice Chancellor Mr. G R C Reddy stated.
