About Us
Gimbal
Engineering
Established in the year 2014, Gimbal Engineering is a reputed organization in the market involved in manufacturing and supplying of quality products which are precisely engineered by our experts. We are based out as a Sole Proprietorship firm. We are situated our operational head in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
The Department of Production and Quality Engineering encompasses fields at the intersection between technology and management. A holistic view of industrial solutions rooted in a production engineering and manufacturing technology characterizes our activities. Our strong industrial focus, extensive international collaboration and a good work environment has earned the department an international reputation for its research.
Our fundamental research activities concentrate, as much as possible, on strategic focus areas as determined by our host faculty. In particular, it is the following areas that are of interest for our department:
• product development and manufacturing,
• sustainable industrial manufacturing and consumption
• food-stuff-technology (an area of increasing concentration).
Focus areas
These topics are our current focus:
• Flexible production
• Logistics
• Product and operations modeling
• Quality management and performance measurement
• Safety and reliability
Ø Application oriented research
Short-term and application oriented research is conducted through commissioned projects, quite often in cooperation with Furture Technology and Society unit.
Ø Custom manufacturing
How can industry deliver customized products on time and at minimum cost? We have developed manufacturing solutions for industry with high degree of automation and extensive use of robotics. Department research also led to the development of a metal printing process that uses metal powder to build a product layer by layer to exactly the desired shape. The process may be applied to manufacture both complex prototypes and spare parts.
Ø Intelligent products
Food products are transported in boxes where quality parameters, such as temperature, are monitored throughout the logistics chain. Another application is in closing the information gap in the product lifecycle chain. By means of sensors on products or parts, information concerning condition, wear, and lifetime can be recorded and used for maintenance, end of life decisions, product design and improvement.
Ø A safety focus
Optimization and management of maintenance operations, as well as safety and reliability analysis of complex industrial facilities – such as oil development platforms and sub sea installations – is a field in which the department is well established..
