As a part of the observance of the ‘Atma Nirbhar Week’, three facilities of Ordnance Factory Board were dedicated to the nation by the Minister of Defence. They are:
pManufacturing facility for sighting devices for T-90 Tanks at the Opto Electronics Factory, Dehradun.
The facility comprises ISO-6: Class 1,000 and ISO-7: Class 10,000 level clear environment rooms for the production of various high end Opto Electronics and electronics assemblies/sub-assemblies of T-90 systems and Stabilised Remote Controlled Gun (SRCG) project.
- The automated assembly line for the production of Pinaka Rockets at the Ordnance Factory, Chandrapur.
The system has been conceptualised and developed indigenously by OF Chanda with M/s Godrej and Boyce, Mumbai. The automated assembly will not only enhance the production capacity but would also be more efficient as it seeks to do away with most of the manual operations. The assembly line has automated safety features and facilities for monitoring the quality of production.
- The assembly and testing facility of SRCG at the Ordnance Factory, Tiruchirappalli.
The SRCG is a 12.7 mm M2 NATO standard Machine Gun for marine applications. The modern facility with specialised buildings and equipment is for the assembly and for conducting factory acceptance tests of this gun.
These modern, indigenously conceptualised facilities will go a long way in enhancing productivity, quality and efficiency.
