Second Year Mechanical students of DBCE visit Aviza Technologies

On April 13th, 2024, the second-year Mechanical students from our college (DBCE)  embarked on a field trip to Aviza Technologies located in Kundaim Industrial Estate. This educational excursion was facilitated by the Mechanical Engineering Student Hub (MESH) and coordinated by Dr. Avil Allwyn Dsa, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Aviza Technologies specializes in precision sheet metal design and manufacturing for the electronics and telecommunication industries. Notably, they supply sheet metal panels to prominent companies like Commscope and Siemens. During the tour, Mr. Umesh Polji, Head of Stores and Procurement, guided the students through the shop floor, providing insight into various manufacturing operations on sheet metal panels. The students gained a firsthand understanding of Aviza Technologies’ commitment to meeting customer needs for Quality, Price, Delivery, and Services. The visit commenced with an introduction to the raw materials utilized by Aviza Technologies, namely Aluminum and Steel. Students were then introduced to different types of CNC punching machines, which were demonstrated performing operations tailored to customer requirements. The intricate processes of punching tools and sheet metal bending machines were elucidated to the students. Additionally, various Inspection Tests were showcased to emphasize the importance of accuracy and quality control in the manufacturing process. The students also had the opportunity to observe the powder coating process, gaining insights into the different stages involved in metal powder coating.

The field trip proved to be highly interactive, with students displaying eagerness and curiosity to learn about the inner workings of a manufacturing plant. Overall, it was a profoundly enlightening experience for the second-year Mechanical students, providing valuable insight into real-world industrial practices.
