on Surface Engineering ITI Om Ccrsyek OHO Industrial ApplicationsRajalakshmi Institutions in association with Singapore Surface Engineering Association is organizing an International conference on Surface Engineering For Research and ial Applications -SERIA2013 during 7-9 August2013, xx eeu} Product designers constantly strive to design machinery that can function more efficiently, last, longer and operate more precisely. This event, focuses on Surface Engineering, Surface Coating, Electro-plating Precision Engineering and applications, covering the full spectrum of industries located in India as well as around the globe. The conference would attract participants from the world's leading companies inthis field, looking for solutions that will help them to successfully createand deliver theirproductstothe market. KkL_, ‘The conference s planned at Rajalakshmi Engineering College as tis located atthe heart ofthe. Industrial Hub in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. Chennai is considered as the ‘Detroit of India’ as it houses many renowned auto majors such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, Hyundai, Ford, Ashok Leyland (Hinduja), Nissan, Caterpillar etc. Further, the industrial corridor around the college has many modern manufacturing plants in electronic hardware, glass, automotive engines and components suchas Nokia Flextronics, Samsung, aint Gobain, Caparo, Borg Warner tc. The proximity tothe industrial park willbe ideal for delegates from overseas tonetwork with local industriesand vice versa eu Imparting quality education toastudent strength of round 700. rN & SEMMARSIN — RMALARSIN AALS Won ° © \ > “a REPL RBA IDOD RAJALAKSHML RAJALAKSUML faalalahion Ee Sameer Mire Une t yhd Management.‘The conference sled by Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC) and Rajalakshmi Institute of Technology RIT). REC, Chennai, established inthe year 1997 is one of the reputed engineering insttutionsin this part of he country, coveringall the major branches of engineering, technology and management. Many departments are recognized.as research centers by Anna University for pursuing MS. / PRD programmes. RIT was estabished subsequentlyinthe yeor 2008, REC has enteredinto MoUs with several foreign Universtiesand Industries suchas 18M and Bosch for collaborative research, development work and faculty exchange programs. The students have good academic track record in University exams securing several University ranks Thecollegehasaqood placementrecord. With industry ~ Academic partnership in fullswing, REC & RIT with theirexcellent In-house talent pool is actively engaged in Research and Development of innovative products and services. Based on the strength of such R&D activities, REC has been recognized asa Scientficand Industrial Research Organization by the Department of Scientificand industrial Research (DSIR),Governmentof india, kx _ ‘The Society represents the interests of more than 100 companies in the surface finishing community in Singapore. It counts contract electroplaters, surface finishers, suppliers of chemicals / equipment / technology, academics and PCB manufacturers as its members. The association, over the last 30 odd years, has established a wide network of contacts dealing in the surface engineering field around the world wmwaseansurfin.org) Incorder to be a step ahead of the competition, itis essential to focus on commercialization of ! Inventions and to create platform wherein industrial problems can be shared with researchers, New product development requires dedicated research manpower. Keeping this in mind the conference is intended to attract papers dealing with recent research findings as well as those ' ilustrating newer applicationsin the areas of surface engineering, ranging from surface coatings i dry & wet applications to surface treatmentsand nanotechnology. AS Turnaround on the expected lines will generate an ecosystem for end to end cutting edge solutions and exchange of ideas fr the benefit ofthe researchers and industries located in India aswellasaround the world The organizing committee comprises of experts in the field of surface engineering. In addition, speakers and delegates from both leading industries as wells from academia will be attending the conference. Therefore, it will bean appropriate forum for vatious companies to exhibit their products, equipments and machineries related to surface engineering. Extensive networking ‘opportunities will provide the exhibitors maximum exposure to many potential customers, Exhibitorsand participantsalike willbe able to choose from akey selection of training workshops and courses designed to upgrade their knowledge and skills thereby maximizing their ROL Exclusive sponsorship opportunities will provide additional exposure to widen the participant's ‘market exposure and create anawareness of new productinnovations.Kk Prey atrons (Mi5.
