The Centre of Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing Technology has been established at IIT Kharagpur through the support of the Department of Heavy Industry of Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, Government of India, along with a consortium of top six (6) industry members in the country such as Tata Motor, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Steel, Tata Sons, BHEL, and HEC. The centre aims to stimulate the innovation to manufacture smart machines in the capital goods sector. This centre offers a unique platform for collaborative, consortium driven infusion of advanced technologies in the manufacturing area, which is in harmony with the 'Make-in-India' initiative of the Government of India. The centre will initiates innovative and top-quality research focused to the industries on Specialty materials, Design and automation, Additive manufacturing, and Digital manufacturing and Industrial Internet of Things. The centre will boost innovative interventions in the advanced manufacturing domain by enabling an ecosystem among Institutes of higher repute, heavy industries, and also the MSMEs and start-ups. The centre looks for active participation in this ecosystem for a collaborative research in the proposed areas.The centre also houses an Innovation Lab to facilitate the culture of innovation and open engineering. The Innovation Lab invites MSMEs and the Start-ups to grab opportunities of getting an end-to-end support from the experts including access to various state-of-the-art facilities for early prototyping of their product. The centre also welcomes bright and talented scholars with high value doctoral fellowship to support its activities.For details, please see the other website of the centre: http://www.coeamt.comAspirants for research at the DHI Centre of Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing Technology leading to PhD degree are requested to visit IIT Kharagpur website: http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/phdfor application modalities Read less
