About GTU
GTU is the largest government Technological University in Gujarat catering the fields of Engineering, Business
Management, Computer Science, Pharmacy and Architecture. GTU is having a pull of more than 4,50,000 students and
18000 professors teaching in 500 affiliated institutes across the state of Gujarat. GTU is pioneer and one of the leading
Universities in Internationalization, Research & Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Start-up Support Systems and Industry
Oriented academic courses among all the technological universities in India.

Gujarat Technological University has initiated to build Centre of Excellence (COE) in I-4.0 frontiers of today’s
technology in Automation Technologies in association with Bosch-Rexroth India Limited (BRIN) with an objective of
developing industry institute partnership in the field of Automation, Mobile Hydraulic, Automobile, and Mobile
Electronics Technologies to bridge technology gaps between industry and academia to foster research and knowledge
among the students at GTU.

Objectives of GTU- Centre of Excellence in Automation

In this respect, first Centre of Excellence is being established at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College (VGEC),
Chandkheda, Ahmedabad. This centre will act as a place to educate Automation Technologies to students with focus
on Training, Knowledge transfer, Research Projects, Application Oriented Research and Innovation. These centres will
improve employability with latest skill sets and provide opportunities for developing entrepreneurs based on advance
technology. The main goal of the centre would be to improve the technical competence, employability and
entrepreneurship of UG & PG students who train at the centre and encourage students to pursue PG programs.

About Bosch Rexroth
Bosch Rexroth is one of the world’s leading specialists in the field of Drive and Control technologies. Under the brand
name of Rexroth, the company supplies more than 500,000 customers with tailored solutions for driving, controlling
and moving. As a Drive & Control Company, Bosch Rexroth develops, produces and sells components and systems in
more than 80 countries in the technology fields of Electric Drives and Controls, Industrial Hydraulics, Mobile Hydraulics,
Linear Motion and Assembly Technology and Pneumatics. Bosch Rexroth India Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of
BOSCH Rexroth Germany and is one of the leading specialists in drive & control technology. Bosch Rexroth India Ltd
was established in 1975 and is currently operating with annual sales of more than Rs.6113 million.

The centre of competence is established to bridge the gap between industry expectations and theoretical deficiencies
with the following objectives:
▪ To provide hands on experience to the students of engineering and polytechnics institutes to the recent
technologies practiced in the industry
▪ To enable all the students in different regions and rural areas to have exposure to industry and technologies,
by the concept of center of excellence.
The scope of activity of the GTU-Bosch Rexroth Centre of Competence is:
▪ The centre will provide the training to faculty, students of engineering and polytechnic institute and
industries in the coastal region.
▪ The centre will offer projects to the students of the Engineering.

GTU- Bosch Certificate Programs

The Centre of excellence offers courses on various hardware platforms. These courses are intended for B.Tech
Students of all disciplines the training at GTU-BOSCH Centre of Competence is at par with BOSCH Rexroth International
standard. The training contents and course materials is same as used by BOSCH Rexroth Global. Following training
programs are being organized by GTU-BOSCH Rexroth Centre of Competence in regular/ evening/ Weekend batches
during every semester and also in vacation period.
Lab 1: Hydraulics
Hydraulics with its wide application base in almost all engineering domains has
an important role in the contemporary industrial world. Whether it is a case of
raising or lowering loads smoothly, undertaking linear or rotational movements,
achieving even acceleration or accurate poising, maintaining preset speeds,
transmitting power or linking motion sequences – in fact wherever economical
power is required, hydraulics comes into its own. The BOSCH Rexroth modular
state of the art Hydraulic training system is based on standard components from
various Bosch Rexroth product areas. This system facilitates learning of on/Off
Hydraulics, Proportional, Mobile Hydraulics and PLC Controller. By means of the
training systems, both newcomers and advanced users work on practical
exercises and gain specialized technical knowledge step-by-step.
Lab 2: Pneumatics
Pneumatics is all about using compressed air to make a process happen.
Designing, constructing and reading pneumatic diagrams give a strong
understanding of circuit operation and a good base for trouble shooting.
Pneumatic signals are used to control final control elements because such
signals can be used to actuate large valves and other high-power control
devices. The BOSCH Rexroth modular state of the art Pneumatic training system
is based on standard components across the Bosch Rexroth product range. This
system facilitates learning of Basic Pneumatic & Electropneumatic concepts. A
training system comprising of hardware and software enables both
inexperienced and experienced users to work on practical exercises and gain
specialized technical knowledge step-by-step.
Lab 3: Sensorics
Sensor Technology has emerged as a key technology to deploy Industrial
Automation solutions. Scientific and technical innovation is now increasingly
linked with the term sensor. There are few problems today in data acquisition
that cannot be solved using sensors. For that reason, sensors occupy a prime
position in the broad field of factory automation and in many other applications
like in construction, utilities, building management and office equipment etc.
BOSCH Rexroth sensorics trainer, fitted with Pepperl & Fuchs industrial sensors,
provides opportunity to work on practical exercises and gain specialized
technical knowledge about characteristics of each sensor.
Lab 4: Programmable logic controller(PLC)
Process automation is achieved by an industrial controller, PLC. Whether the
process is too fast, slow, small, big, cold, hot or just too dangerous for humans,
the controller makes up the brain of the entire process to schedule and control
the sequence of machines. The powerful Bosch Rexroth PLC trainer system has
Analog I/O which could be used to test PID loops and other variable functions.
The L20 PLC controller may be connected via an Ethernet Switch with external
devices, which can be used to learn the ability to program both products from a
single ethernet connection. The ethernet switch has extra ports which can be
used to connect additional HMIs, to demonstrate OPC connectivity to SCADA
software.

Lab 5: Robotics & Mechatronics

A robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move
material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed
motions for the performance of a variety of tasks. It is a mechanical device that
sometimes resembles a human and is capable of performing a variety of often
complex human tasks on command or by being programmed in advance.
The BOSCH Rexroth Robotics & Machatronics is having Scara Robot. The Scara
training system is mainly a mechanical and electrical system. In addition to that
it is an example of MLC and drives, implementing different logics and adapting
adaptive features. Scara Robot is made by using brushless AC servo motors.
Scara Robot is capable of making movement in 4 different axes. It is having very
well-planned safety features. In addition to that Scara robot is also having
manual feature so that the trainer can easily understand behavior of robot.
