DEPARTMENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

National Level AICTE Sponsored Virtual Short Term Training Program (STTP) under AQIS on ‘Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT)” from 12th to 16th August 2020.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Industry 4.0 refers to a new phase in the Industrial Revolution that
focuses heavily on interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data. IIoT or smart
manufacturing, marries physical production and operations with smart digital technology, machine
learning, and big data to create a more holistic and better-connected ecosystem for companies that
focus on manufacturing and supply chain management.
Objectives:
1. To impart knowledge on fundamental & advanced concepts of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) &

its allied disciplines
2. To provide virtual hands-on exposure on software tools used in the Implementation of technologies

associated with IIoT/Industry 4.0
3. To discuss the industrial revolution & implementation of Industry 4.0 from the Indian context
4. To illustrate the state-of-the-art research & technologies associated with IIoT & its allied disciplines
Resource Person: Experts from Industry & Academia such as Hydac India, Bosch Rexroth, IISc, Unizen
Technologies etc.
