Industrial Visit to Vijay Gears – An Enriching Experience

On March 8th, 2024, our college organised an industrial visit to Vijay Gears. The trip gave us a glimpse into the workings of one of the leading gear manufacturers in the country.

The visit started with a warm welcome from the staff, who briefed us about the company's history and its achievements. We were then taken on a tour of the manufacturing plant, where we saw the gears being made right from the raw materials to the finished product. It was impressive to see the precision and attention to detail that went into producing each gear.

We also got to see the various types of gear that were being manufactured, including Planetary gearbox, Inline helical gearbox, 3-phase induction motor, Flange mounting gearbox, Foot mounting B-series gearbox, etc. The Vijay Gears team explained to us the different applications of each gear type, and how they are used in various industries such as the rice, sugar, textile and others.

The highlight of the visit was the interaction with the engineers and technicians who were working on the shop floor. They patiently explained to us the various machines, robots and equipment used in the manufacturing process and answered all our questions patiently and with absolute clarity.

The visit also gave us an opportunity to witness the company's commitment to sustainability. For the betterment of the environment, they took the initiative to plant trees as corporate social responsibility.

It was heartening to see how a company was taking responsibility for its impact on the environment. The company’s mission is to become a well-known Indian brand in gearbox manufacturing in the world by providing the best quality products at affordable prices, and their vision is to excel in Gearbox manufacturing and achieve customer delight.

Overall, the visit was a great learning experience. A fantastic opportunity to see how a company operates the meticulous coordination and hard work that goes into making quality products. It was a live session on understanding quality. It was an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals in the industry and gain insights into the latest trends and technologies in the manufacturing sector.
