Delta Electronics India, a power management and smart green solutions provider, in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corp. (TNSDC), inaugurated a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Robotics and PLC Automation at the College of Engineering, Bargur, in Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu.
The Centre has been established as a state-of-the-art industrial automation training facility designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world industrial applications, aiming to equip students and working professionals with hands-on, industry-relevant skills aligned with evolving manufacturing ecosystems. The Centre has been implemented by the Tamil Nadu Apex Skill Development Centre for Automobile (TN AutoSkills).
“At Delta, we view skill development not merely as a training initiative, but as a long-term strategic investment in India’s industrial future,” said Benjamin Lin, President, Delta Electronics India. “This Centre of Excellence reflects our commitment to advancing automation capabilities and supporting the transformation of manufacturing ecosystems. By enabling hands-on exposure to robotics, PLC automation, and smart assembly technologies, we aim to empower the next generation of professionals to drive productivity, innovation, and sustainable industrial growth.”
The CoE will focus on Robotics (4-Axis and 6-Axis), PLC Automation, and Smart Assembly Systems. It is supported by advanced infrastructure, including 4-axis and 6-axis robotic systems, PLC training workstations, and a smart screwdriver assembly cell that closely replicates live industrial environments.
Niranjan Nayak, Managing Director, Delta Electronics India, added, “The Centre has been designed to mirror real industrial conditions, ensuring that trainees gain practical, application-oriented experience in automation systems. Through structured short-term and long-term programmes, we intend to build a strong, industry-ready talent pipeline capable of supporting automation-driven sectors and strengthening India’s competitiveness in advanced manufacturing.”
210kg payload industrial robot launched
In a separate development, Delta Electronics India recently launched its new 210kg payload industrial robot, further strengthening its portfolio of heavy-duty robotics for demanding manufacturing environments.
“Engineered for high-load applications, the 210kg payload robot combines exceptional structural rigidity with an advanced motion control system to ensure superior stability, precision, and repeatability,” stated the company. “Designed to perform reliably in high-cycle production settings, the robot delivers the ideal balance between payload capacity and dynamic performance.”
The new solution is well-suited for a wide range of industrial applications, including heavy material handling such as loading and unloading of large components, CNC machine tending, and press-to-press transfer operations. It also supports high-speed palletizing and depalletizing of large packaging units and bulk materials.
In automotive and EV manufacturing environments, the robot enables efficient handling of battery packs, motor assemblies, drivetrain components, and chassis sub-assemblies.
Additionally, it is optimized for demanding foundry and metal industry applications including casting handling, forging transfer, and die-casting support.
