This program will be conducted by Mr. B Muralidhar, and Mr.Sudhanshu Kantoor.

Mr. B Muralidhar is an Industry Expert. He has completed AMIE from Institute of Engineers and has Industrial experience of 38 years in the Design and Development of electrical/electronic controls for various machine tools at HMT Machine Tools ltd. Bangalore.

He has started his carrier with the Design of Contactor logic for Cylindrical Grinding machines, Surface grinders, Gear shapers, SPMs, etc. With the evolvement of PLCs, Changed contactor logic to PLCs and have used almost all Siemens PLCs available as on date on various machine tools including SSMs & SPMs. In 1985, CNC cylindrical Grinding machine was developed using the Primo S system. Subsequently, many CNC machines like CYL. Grinders, Surface grinders, Gear Hobbers, Gear Shappers, SPMs, etc.,   were developed using CNC systems like Sinumerik, Hinumerik ( after HMT got collaboration from Siemens), Siemens 802D, Siemens 810D, Siemens 840D, Fanuc0 (MD & TD) systems, 828D, 840Dsl, and Fanuc0i. Apart from above, Assembly co-ordination, Prove out and commissioning at customer's end were our responsibilities. 

Also, he contributed to various developmental activities such as a low-frequency converter for spindle orientation (PWM Technique) during the initial time, Pulse Generator for WEDM using IGBT, and during 2019-20, developed, Servo Manipulator with Force and Weight feedback. 

Mr. Sudhanshu Kantoor is General Manager, Product Management - Factory Automation at Pepperl+Fuchs India. He is passionately involved in the field of Industrial Automation for over two decades. An avid software programmer in control automation, he brings in hands-on and supervisory experience in projects involving PLCs, Drives, Remote I/O and SCADA based systems, machines/process plants throughout India and also overseas. Avid enthusiast on technology, especially in the domain of networking and data communication. Working across the control platforms and leading implementation of I4.0 solutions for P+F Factory Automation business in India.
