Xoriant, PDF Solutions collaborate with COEP Tech University to support its smart manufacturing lab
Xoriant, a global engineering services company, has announced an industry-academia collaboration with the College of Engineering Pune Technological University and PDF Solutions to support COEP’s Smart Manufacturing Innovation Software Lab. The purpose of the Lab is to provide early access and experience with industry-proven solutions focused on digital engineering and smart manufacturing to create a more future-ready workforce.
Smart Manufacturing Innovation Software Lab enables COEP Tech students to gain firsthand experience on industrial manufacturing projects using cloud, robotics, artificial intelligence, data, and analytics.
PDF Solutions, a provider of unified data and cloud analytics spanning the semiconductor ecosystem to achieve smart manufacturing goals, intends to provide its Cimetrix Sapience software platform for smart manufacturing for use in the lab by COEP Tech students. The Cimetrix Sapience platform connects factory equipment and includes a growing ecosystem of analytics and AI/ML-enabled applications. With the Cimetrix Sapience platform available in COEP Tech’s Lab, students will be able to engineer solutions for manufacturing use cases in a digital twin environment before they even begin their careers.
Leveraging its three decades of software engineering pedigree, Xoriant will build a data integration platform on top of the Cimetrix Sapience platform for the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Software Lab.
“Digital technologies are key drivers to our customers’ growth and our own success. We are excited about this industry-academic collaboration with PDF Solutions and COEP to modernise manufacturing using data and insights and drive the next wave of growth,” says Sukamal Banerjee, CEO of Xoriant.
“The semiconductor manufacturing industry is at an inflection point and needs to undergo massive technology transformation to remain agile, competitive, and global,” says Ranjan Chatterjee, VP of smart factory business, PDF Solutions. “This Lab will use the Cimetrix Sapience platform to kick-start innovative solutions intended to help meet this need.”
“This collaboration is a great opportunity for our students to work with industry professionals and be active contributors to the ever-changing manufacturing industry, making them future-ready for exciting smart manufacturing career opportunities,” says S.D. Agashe, vice chancellor, COEP Technological University Pune.
