Venkatapathy, Founder & Partner at Pranav 3V , Bangalore( founding member of ISA Bangalore Section, Past President and Trust Chairman of Bangalore ISA Section), visited the college on October 10,2018.
Mr. U. Rajshekhar briefed the audience on ISA activities and highlighted benefits that students may want to derive as being members of the professional body. The faculty are quite familiar with benefits that accrue in associating themselves with professional bodies such as ISA. Mr. S.R. Venkatapathy provided them with a presentation on “Trends in Manufacturing Automation” with emphasis on how the students could choose to orient their thought processes to leverage the emerging technologies in Manufacturing. Automation challenges and opportunities that present themselves with the emerging technologies was sought to be conveyed through the example of the oil and gas industry.
