Union Minister for Defence Rajnath Singh launched an industrial design centre (IDC) of BEML on 10 August 2020 in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
IDC will be integrated with R&D and manufacturing and function as a hub for exchange of creative ideas and concepts.
It will also provide design-edge for better market and user acceptance.
The designers at the centre have carried out a global bench-marking study through research. They will focus on enhancing the look and feel of BEML products, operators’ ease of work and comfort as per global standards.
BEML’s industrial design centre will propel innovative thinking for the future in this regard.
IDC will harness the latest technologies like AI, gesture recognition and engineering resources for self-reliance.
The manufacturing implementations of these strategies will be made possible with in-house capabilities available with BEML, as well as through the company’s network of MSMEs.
