Hands-on Session on
“Advanced Pneumatic Panel Design and Optimization”
11th November 2025
Department of Mechanical Engineering of Dronacharya Group of Institutions, in collaboration with SAE India Collegiate Club, organized a hands-on session on “Advanced Pneumatic Panel Design and Optimization” on 11th November 2025. Session was conducted by Mr. Usman Ali (Manager, US Technologies), Mr.Vipin Jangra (Mechatronics Expert) and Mr. Roshan Tandan (Mechatronics Expert) - renowned professionals in the field of pneumatics and automation systems and coordinated by Prof. Vishnu Kuntal under the supervision of Dr. Shailesh Kumar Singh, Head of the Department, with active support from faculty members Dr. Saket Kumar, Dr. Deepak Kumar, Dr. Neelam Baghel and Mr. Ankur Sachdeva.
The session aimed to provide students with practical exposure to the design, assembly, and optimization of pneumatic control systems, which play a crucial role in modern automation and industrial applications.
Through this workshop, participants gained valuable insights into system integration, component selection, and efficiency enhancement techniques, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world industrial practices.
The resource persons shared their technical insights on various aspects of pneumatic system design, including circuit development, component selection, pressure regulation, and troubleshooting techniques. During the session, students gained valuable hands-on experience in assembling pneumatic panels, understanding the working of valves and actuators, and optimizing system performance for industrial applications. Additionally, the experts demonstrated the integration of pneumatic systems with electro-pneumatic and PLC-based controls, which significantly enhanced the participants’ understanding of automation processes.
The session was highly interactive and engaging, with students actively participating in practical exercises and discussions related to industrial applications and energy-efficient pneumatic systems. It proved to be highly beneficial in bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world industrial practices.
