Client Background
CGSC wanted to address the growing demand for CNC and robotics technicians for Industry 4.0-enabled manufacturing hubs.
Challenge
- Candidates lacked mechatronics fundamentals
- Zero exposure to industrial robots (Fanuc, ABB)
- Difficulty reading G-codes, M-codes, and CNC offset settings
- Companies reported slow machine changeover time due to skill gaps
Y&Now Intervention
Y&Now deployed a Mechatronics & Robotics Industry 4.0 Academy:
- CNC part programming (turning, milling)
- Machine zeroing, tool offsetting, and cycle optimization
- Introduction to robotic arm teaching pendant
- PLC basics (Siemens & Allen Bradley)
- Predictive maintenance fundamentals
- IoT sensors for real-time manufacturing data
Implementation
- State-of-the-art lab with real CNC machines
- Error diagnosis through simulation modules
- Live robotic arm programming sessions
Results
- Changeover time dropped by 28%
- First-piece inspection success rate increased by 41%
- Robotics trainees achieved 85% accuracy in first-time programming
- Companies absorbed over 75% of the trained talent
Client Feedback
“Y&Now created India’s most job-ready CNC and robotics workforce pipeline.”
