Axis Solutions Limited, a provider of industrial automation,
instrumentation and control solutions, in collaboration with Government
Engineering College Gandhinagar (GEC Gandhinagar), has launched an Industry
Supported Lab in the Instrumentation & Control (I&C) department. The
initiative aims to strengthen industry-academia collaboration and provide
engineering students with practical exposure to technologies and applications used
in industrial environments.
Inaugurated on September 9, the Lab will serve as a platform
for students and faculty to gain hands-on experience with industrial
technologies while enabling knowledge exchange between academia and industry.
As part of the partnership, Axis Solutions will contribute industrial,
automation, analytical and instrumentation products, along with system
solutions, while GEC Gandhinagar will provide the required facility and
infrastructure.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr Bijal Sanghvi, Managing
Director, Axis Solutions Limited, said, “The next generation of engineers must
be equipped to solve real industrial challenges, not just understand them in
theory. This Centre of Excellence is our effort to bring industry closer to the
classroom, giving students access to the technologies, applications and
practical knowledge that will shape the future of instrumentation and
automation. We see this as an investment in talent, innovation and the long-term
growth of the industry.”
The Centre will facilitate industry-oriented programmes,
including expert and SME sessions, Faculty Development Programmes, student
internships and placement initiatives, skill development programmes, industrial
study tours and short-term continuing education programmes.
Built around the vision of bridging industry and academia
through real-world Instrumentation & Control technology, the Lab will
enable students to strengthen their understanding of instrumentation,
automation and control systems while gaining insights into their practical
applications across industrial settings.
The initiative will also foster collaboration in knowledge
sharing, applied learning and emerging technologies by bringing together
academic expertise and research with Axis Solutions’ industry experience and
technological capabilities.
For Axis Solutions, the initiative marks a long-term
commitment towards developing industry-ready engineering talent and
strengthening the talent ecosystem for India’s evolving instrumentation,
automation and industrial technology sectors. Through sustained engagement with
academia, the company aims to contribute to building a workforce equipped to
meet the changing technological requirements of modern industry.
