Answer:
On 16th of March 2018, 46 students of First Year B.Sc. Computer Science
along with 2 faculty members of VES College of Arts, Science and Commerce
visited Alok Industries and Parle manufacturing unit in Dadra and Nagar
Haveli, Silvassa. We left our college at 6:45 am and reached Silvassa by
10:45 am. We travelled in a comfortable bus with students and two teachers
to guide us. First, we headed to Alok Industries Alok Industries.
We arrived at Alok Industries at 10:45 am. We were assembled and taken to
the weaving unit of 9-A. There we had a look at the rows of weaving
machines which were weaving cloth at a rate of 650 RPM. The cloth being
woven was of 350 cm width.
Here compressed air blowers were circulating in the unit to blow of any
excess lint and threads which may disrupt the working of the weaving unit.
Most of this cloth is used for making bedsheets and pillow covers.
After spending some time in the room, we were giving a thorough insight by
the production manager on floor. It was interesting to know that 28,000
meters of cloth is being woven per department every day.
Alok Industries is an Indian ISO 9001:2000 certified textile manufacturing
company based in Mumbai. We got to know that its main business involves
weaving, knitting, processing, home textiles, ready-made garments and
polyester yarns and that it exports 26% of its products to over 90 countries in
the US, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. There are 250 stores in India
under the brand name H&A. Alok Industries has a 91% stake in Grabal Alok
(UK) Ltd, which had 210 stores under the brand Store Twenty One .
We got to see machines which are used for simple cotton cloth production.
And points like
The industry's contribution towards eco-friendly production.
Raw material consumption on daily basis and textile production rate.
Scope for Computer Science students in this field.
Way of reusing and disposing of waste generated were discussed.
Alok Industries has the capacity to produce up to 5 lakh meters of cloth per
day. Till today, 5.9 lakh meters is the highest record in this industry. The
machines keep working 24 hours a day and are all imported from Belgium.
The machines are equipped with latest technologies which stops the machine
if even one thread is broken. This ensures high quality and efficient working
of the weaving unit. By 12:00 pm we departed from Alok Industries and
proceeded towards our next destination.
Parle Manufacturing Plant
We arrived at the Parle manufacturing plant at 12:25 pm. We were first
assembled and taken to the audio-visual room. There we were shown a very
informative video with a fun twist in the form of a story which informed us
about the history of Parle and how it has emerged as one of India’s topmost
snacks and confectionaries manufacturing company.
Parle manufactures many confectionaries such as the famous Parle-G biscuit
and many other items. They also manufacture sweets and toffees. Parle now
deals with many countries and their snacks are available all over the world.
After the video, we got to see the actual manufacturing plant floor where
Parle-G biscuits were being made.
As we entered the manufacturing floor, the fragrance of the vanilla flavoring
filled our mind. At the same floor, the dough was being kneaded by big
kneaders, the biscuits were molded into shape and then were being rolled
through the baking oven. The oven was over 50 feet long and at the end the
biscuits were cooled by going through a long conveyor belt. After cooling,
they were packaged and filled into boxes by automated machines and
workers respectively.
After visiting the Parle manufacturing plant, we halted at Green Valley Resort
where we had a delicious meal with fresh food and took a small break where
we had a lovely photo session. With this, we left for home with the lovely
memories of the extremely informative Industrial Visit.
