The Departments of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Srinivas Institute of Technology, organized an exposure visit titled “Empowering the Future of Energy and Automation” on 27 March 2026 at the TMA Pai International Convention Centre. The event was organized by Dharshan Switchgears on behalf of Lauritz Knudsen Electrical & Automation, in association with STEADY, EEE, EDP, and IIC.

The primary objective of the visit was to provide students with first-hand exposure to advanced technologies shaping India’s modern infrastructure, including smart cities, intelligent power distribution systems, industrial automation, and energy-efficient solutions. The program featured technical presentations, live demonstrations, and interactive sessions with industry experts, highlighting real-world applications of automation, smart switchgear systems, energy management solutions, and digital monitoring technologies.

Students were introduced to cutting-edge innovations in electrical protection systems, smart control panels, industrial automation frameworks, and sustainable energy practices. The demonstrations showcased how modern energy management systems optimize power consumption, enhance operational safety, and improve reliability in industrial and urban environments. These insights helped bridge the gap between classroom concepts and current industry standards.

A total of 60 students from ECE and EEE actively participated in the program. The visit was coordinated by Mr. Harshith, who accompanied and guided the students throughout the event.

The exposure visit enhanced students’ understanding of modern energy management and industrial automation systems through real-time demonstrations and expert interactions. It bridged the gap between classroom learning and current industry practices, aligning students with global technological standards. The program also increased awareness of sustainable energy solutions and career opportunities in the energy and automation sectors.
