Course Content
VESIT AIA-CDC regularly conduct, “Integrated Automation: Basic Course” as a part of CAMPUS CONNECT INITIATIVE. This 50 hour add on course gives more weightage to hands on training on the various kits specially made for this purpose as,
- Sensors (Pepperl+Fuchs)
- Pneumatics (Festo India Limited)
- Controls and Visualization (Siemens Automation)
- Motion Control (B & R Automation)
- Integrated Stand-I and II
Description of Kits
The departments of Computer Engineering, Information Technology and MCA come together to enable you to complete the course in a smooth manner. For all the support and assistance, the organizing team set up followed by the Patron is as follow
- Sensors: A variety of sensors, encoders and counters are available on this kit for practical understanding and experimentation.
- Pneumatics: It incorporates actuators like single acting and double acting cylinder, control valves like quick exhaust, 5/2 way pneumatic actuated valves, time delay, shuttle and dual pressure.
- Controls and Visualization: This kit combines controller hardware with a Human Machine Interface panel. Here, physical signals can be connected via relays or directly on I/O cards.
- Motion Control: This kit is designed keeping in view a holistic approach to Generic Motion Control. It is self-contained with several advanced components like master controller with HMI, servo drive, stepper drive.
- Integrated Stand-I and II: These stands are to impart an effective hands-on experience in the design and execution of comprehensive automation solutions. It includes input devices, control devices, actuator and visualization devices on a single platform.

Rohit Kashyap
Electronics Engineering Student
I am one of the members of the second batch and my experience was extremely good. I am from electronics engineering with little information about Instrumentation, Pneumatics and PLC etc. But I was very comfortable as faculty was very considerate and patience enough to solve basic doubts which was very helpful since I was not from the field. Teaching experience was very much industry oriented and the content of the course was very much up–to date. Knowledge I gained from this course increased my confidence and helped me in development and testing of my Semi-Autonomous Pipeline Exploration Robot (SAPER). Our team was Runner-up in NIYANTRA 2016. Thanks for the guidance and support given by VESIT-AIA faculties. I would definitely recommend this course for my juniors.

Instrumentation Engineering Student
I was always interested in automation. Joining this course was an extension of my interest. Better than expected the course helped me in getting a better outlook of the automation industry. Being an intern in Siemens Ltd, Thane was an added bonus. Internship was offered to me through VESIT-AIA. Systems and technology used in Siemens Development Center is same as those available in VESIT-AIA lab. Overall this course has given a direction to my passion in automation.
Avinash Batra
Instrumentation Engineering Student
Basic automation course was very helpful to me. It has given confidence to me to work on PLC, HMI & motion control systems. Because of this course I got good exposure to automation engineering and I got selected in Reliance Industries. This course is very much beneficial to improve your placement chances.
