Input-Transformation-Output system. This holistic approach to technology development enables an End to End

Innovation platform resulting in reliable development of technological solutions for commercial exploitation.
In a short span, AMTDC has been able to develop a core technological base in areas of precision machine design,

energy efficient system design, analytical / numerical design optimization, soft technologies for smart manufacturing
involving AI and Data analytics, manufacturing process design and optimization and automation system design and
integration and demonstrate them into patentable and commercially exploitable technologies.

With AMTDC’s commitment to work in collaboration with its various industry partners and its proven expertise
in developing and implementing large, complex projects, the Centre is looking forward to generate high quality human
