Siemens partners with Karnataka Government to establish 4 COEs

Siemens Industry Software India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government Tool Room and Training Center (Government of Karnataka) and DesignTech Systems to establish four Centers of Excellence across Karnataka. The partnership paves the way for a world-class integrated skill development infrastructure and benchmarked technical education curriculum with core focus on Industry 4.0, Automation, Mechatronics and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The four COEs will address diverse industry segments like Automotive, Industrial machinery, Industrial automation, Renewable Energy and Aerospace and Defense. DesignTech Systems Limited is the execution partner for the four Centers of Excellence and will run the centers for the first two years and continue to provide support for the third year.

The COEs will be equipped with the latest PLM software solutions from Siemens, such as NX software for digital product design and engineering, Teamcenter software for digital lifecycle management and the Tecnomatix portfolio for digital manufacturing. They will also feature state-of-the-art industrial automation equipment from Siemens, as well as the latest computer numerical controllers (CNC), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and state-of- the-art manufacturing machinery including CNC milling and turning machines, industrial application robotics cells, Renewable (Solar/Wind) Energy Training System, Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), Quality Assurance Tools and Gages, and rapid prototyping machines. Each of the COEs will have ten fully equipped laboratories staffed with instructors trained and certified by Siemens.

“With the Indian industry increasingly adopting automation and digitalization, it also requires a highly-skilled workforce trained in future-ready technologies and processes. Siemens is committed to supporting the Indian economy to enable it to gain competitive advantage by improving its efficiency, productivity, quality and speed. The MoU is yet another step in this journey of modernization,” said Sunil Mathur, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Limited.
