TN govt creates 3 new excellence centres to train MSMEs

Chennai, June 3 (KNN) The Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TNDIC) has established three centres of excellence (CoEs) at TIDEL park in Taramani with TIDCO as the nodal agency. Its inauguration will take place next month.

The objective of the state government is to provide MSMEs training on the latest platforms, understand latest problem solving techniques, use software optimally, and also get their personnel trained on using these systems.

Among the three CoEs, the Tamil Nadu centre of excellence for advanced manufacturing (TANCAM) is set up with the help of Dassault Systems, Tamil Nadu smart and advance manufacturing (TANSAM) set up by Siemens, and Tamil Nadu advanced manufacturing centre of excellence (TAMCOE) set up with the help of GE Aviation.

The three centres will help Tamil Nadu industries equip themselves with cutting-edge global technology tools and efficient and innovative manufacturing practices. 

Commenting on the development of three CoEs, B Krishnamoorthy, Project Director, Tamil Nadu defence industrial corridor said, “Companies can also use complete suite of software and tools developed by these global majors on a nominal user-fee basis. These research and development centres will provide industries access to state of the art world class facilities in additive manufacturing, industry 4.0, rapid prototyping and many more. The support of global industrial partners will be a crucial value addition for our MSMEs.”

Additive manufacturing is one of the areas that has been given prominence with each centre housing a unique 3D printer.

The facility will help Tamil Nadu industries utilize 3D printing facilities in rapid manufacturing of complex parts and explore the advantages of 3D printing.

Currently, MSMEs and local industries face the challenge of having to upgrade themselves constantly by purchasing expensive equipment and software. With the establishment of new CoEs Tamil Nadu will have an edge over others in emerging technology areas, said former chairman of Confederation of Indian Industry M Ponnuswami.
