During my internship, I spearheaded projects aimed at process improvement and operational efficiency within warehouse operations. I successfully implemented a new Line Balancing process that optimized workflows in the inbound department, significantly reducing processing times. Additionally, I designed and fabricated a mobile segregation unit using.

Learned the working of devices like switch gears, circuit breakers, etc while working with the research and development department that focuses on the production of these devices.Acquired knowledge on the entire product development process as well as Management Information Systems. Devised my own four bar linkage on Fusion 360 with an input handle and.

Was introduced to the classification of industrial trucks and studied in detail about forklifts. This included learning the working of forklift hydraulic systems, transmission, controls as well as its stability. Worked on a few problems involving the design of pumps and cylinders and also completed the structural analysis of a forklift carriage assembly.

Pursued a research project to perform a crash analysis on the BMW Z4 model. The car was designed on Fusion 360. It was then imported to ANSYS workbench where an explicit dynamic analysis was conducted. The deformation, stresses and energy upon frontal crash was obtained.
