From the Chairman’s Desk....
Dear Fellow Engineers,
Once again I am extremely happy to
share my thoughts with all of you. When
I thought what is next after becoming an
active members of IEI, developed a
habit of attending IEI programs once in
a month, integration of all Engineering
is the Way of life, I realised that defi-
nitely we all together achieved sustainability by being
existence for 100 years, and now it is the time think “beyond
imagination”. Today’s modern technology and science &
digital innovations gives abundant capacity to think beyond
imagination.
Due to digital revolution many times, we lose focus , lose
our original thought process, and we trying to copy others
and compete with each other. Each engineering discipline
is unique each engineer is unique.
We, IEI as multi discipline integrating body has to find a
ways and means to help each engineer to achieve his
potential, through customized integration of multiple engi-
neering disciplines. Real integration of everything hap-
pens, when we can celebrate our differences and pursue and
build and our own God given uniqueness and gifts.
On this Centenary Year, let everyone to re-define our-
selves, let us collaborate, let us celebrate, this is the time to
celebrate. I call upon all Corporate Members of IEI, all
Office bearers of IEI State and Local Centres, Past and
Present, future aspiring members, to think beyond imagina-
tion on the Centenary year. Let us set goals beyond Imagi-
nation, let us open to opportunity, let us develop willing-
ness to do the required to serve the humanity.
I am longing with love to meet all of you once again on
September 13th at Chennai on this Great Momentous , once
in a life time occasion.

Report of the One day Seminar on
Application of IOT and AI in Welding Technology in Indian Railways and
Industry 4.0 standards for manufacturing – Opportunity & Challenges in
Indian Railways
10.07.2019
The Institution of Engineers (India), Tamil Nadu State Centre has
organized an One day Seminar on Application of IOT and AI in
Welding Technology in Indian Railways and Industry 4.0 standards
for manufacturing - opportunity & challenges in Indian Railways
on 10 th July 2019 in IEI TNSC Auditorium, Chennai. The
Inauguration programme started with a prayer song. After the
Invocation, all the dignitaries lighted the lamp as the symbol of the
Indian Culture to make the moment an auspicious time. Er R
Ramdoss, Chairman welcomed the Chief Guest Er Sachin
Punetha, Deputy Chief Mechanical Engineer /Wagon /CW/PER,
Indian Railways and the gathering. Chairman honoured the chief
guest with shawl and memento. Inaugural address was delivered
by the chief guest Er Sachin Punetha. Dr P S Kumar, Managing
Director, ETAsmart Private Ltd., and Dr V Balasubramanian,
Professor & Head, Department of Manufacturing Engineering,
Annamalai University were the guest speakers for the seminar.
Dr P S Kumar delivered his lecture on the theme “Industry 4.0
standards for manufacturing – opportunity & challenges in Indian
Railways”. As we all aware the first Industrial revolution (Industry
1.0) mechanisation through water and steam power happened
around 1784. Second Industrial revolution (Industry 2.0) happened
to produce through mass production and assembly lines using
electricity in 1870. Around 1969 the automation, PLCs and
computers were inducted in to manufacturing thereby created third
industrial revolution (Industry3.0) and now the fourth industrial
revolution (Industry 4.0) enhance it with using IoT (sensors attached
machines & products), AI and other smart and autonomous cyber
physical systems in manufacturing System. Coupling all these
manufacturing elements and making the data transfer through Cloud
computing & Use smart programmes to analyse the data and take
decision with or without human interventions. Industry 4.0 will
benefit the manufactures in various forms - it reduces cost by 20
to 30%, increase the efficiency by 15 to 20% and make our
manufacturing system is completely flexible. All the major
manufacturing companies are moving or in the process of migration
to this Industry 4.0 environment to make use of the benefits.
Industry 4.0 can be applied once our processes are well defined and
the manufacturing & operating systems are created and being
followed systematically by all people - starting from engineer to
manufacturing director. The other supporting software used in the
manufacturing (Product Data Management, Supply Chain
Management, Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship
Management, Product Life Cycle Management need to be integrated
to get the full benefits of Industry 4.0. We need commitment from
Top Management for implementing Industry 4.0 for manufacturing
since it may demand few investments and full support from the
working people and all their vendors, suppliers willing to transform
them to be a world class manufacturer like any other MNCs. It is
highly needed for India which is likely to grow faster than any
country across the Globe in coming years.
Dr V Balasubramanian delivered his lecture on the theme
“Application of IOT and AI in Welding Technology in Indian
Railways”. He started from fundamentals like what is Automation,
Machine learning, Machine vision, Robotics, Self-driving cars etc.

He explained the main attractions of the IoT and AI. He has
elaborated three key uses for the IoT and AI within the
manufacturing industry like in Manufacturing operations,
production asset management and maintenance, field service. He
also touch upon the subjects, like How Can the IoT and AI impact
Welding? The Benefits of Introducing the IoT and AI to a Welding
Workshop etc. The idea of Industry 4.0, which is closely tied to
IoT, "represents the vision of the interconnected factory where
equipment is online, and in some way is also intelligent and capable
of making its own decisions." He has gone into deep about the
theme by taking time to explain all things connected like, IoT and
Artificial Intelligence in current welding industry, How the IoT and
AI Could Impact the World of the Welder? What is Internet of
Welding, etc.
The IoT (Internet of Thing) essentially refers to the idea of
connecting anything that is powered to both the internet and each
other. This includes everything from mobile phones, kitchen
appliances and office equipment, right through to jet engines and
large-scale manufacturing equipment. Artificial intelligence (AI)
is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines,
especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the
acquisition of information and rules for using the information),
reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions)
and self-correction. Train maintenance is typically performed in
difficult working conditions and often under time pressure. It helps
to reduce human error in such high pressure and complex tasks.
Robotic welding increases the life of the tracks and crossing, making
the process not only time effective, but cost effective as well. The
repair process takes less than a day and there is no need to block
traffic. Best of all, robots can work day and night without needing
unions or rest. IoT and AI will undoubtedly introduce many benefits
in the welding of Rail Tracks and machine parts in less time and
with better precision and accuracy. It can help the Indian Railways
in becoming more efficient and productive. Many automated welding
machines are already connected to a computer and in fact networked
and could be accessed at any time from a computer anywhere in the
world. The first obvious application would be in diagnostics and
calibration of the equipment itself, as the equipment could be
interfaced with a network on a routine basis to perform those
functions. Future IoT application to the field Welder will in all
probability arise mainly as part of an artificial intelligence platform,
as it would be highly advantageous in performing control and
monitoring functions even while the equipment is not connected to
the internet. IoT functionality could be provided by the artificial
intelligence. The members has attentively listened to the in depth
presentation .
Er R Ramdoss, Chairman presented the memento to the guest
speakers Dr P S Kumar and Dr V Balasubramanian. Er P Gomathi
Nayagam, Honorary Secretary proposed the vote of thanks.
