Problem Statements:
(Closing on: June-2023)
Real time quality monitoring of water at every process steps : In ensuring the continuous delivery of high-quality potable water to communities, real-time monitoring of water quality parameters is imperative throughout the treatment process. The existing practice of periodic water sampling leads to delays in addressing deviations, if any, potentially compromising water safety. Moreover, the significance of monitoring these quality parameters amplifies during peak seasons like summers when pollutant loads can surge, posing greater challenges to maintaining water quality. (Reward : 2 Lakh INR)
Condition assessment (thickness measurement and weld point assessment) of ducts at inaccessible areas : Ducts of diameter ranging from few inches to ~5 meters spanning several kilometers across a typical manufacturing plant carry various gases ( few of these are toxic). As part of periodic maintenance, the residual wall thickness of duct (range – 250mm to 500mm) is to be measured at critical locations (Reward : 5 Lakh INR)
Online condition monitoring of Leaf Spring Stack for torpedo Ladle Car : In the steel manufacturing industry, torpedo vehicles transport ladles containing molten metal (temperature of 1400-1500 Deg C) along a rail track. Each Torpedo vehicle is equipped with a pair of leaf spring stacks to support the ladles during transit. A leaf spring stack comprises 24 leaf springs and bears a load of approximately 200 tons. The leaf spring stacks are crucial for the safe transportation of molten metal. However, the industry has experienced recurring failures in the leaf spring stacks. These failures pose a significant safety risk as they can lead to the spillage of molten metal and result in unplanned outages, adversely affecting productivity. Detecting leaf spring failures online ( while the car is in service) is challenging, especially during the operational phase of the Torpedo vehicle. Over the past four financial years, there have been many leaf spring failures, causing unplanned outages in the hot metal logistics process. Addressing this issue is imperative to enhance safety, prevent productivity disruptions, and optimize the reliability of the Torpedo vehicle system. (Reward : 5 Lakh INR)
Elimination of nickel plating on brass components : Watch components, including case centers and bracelets, are commonly manufactured using brass due to its advantageous formability. To enhance properties such as adhesion strength and corrosion resistance, these brass components undergo a dual-layer coating process. Initially, a nickel coating is applied using a wet process, followed by an additional layer using the ion plating method for improved corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. The objective is to identify a fast and cost-effective dry coating process solution that eliminates the need for wet nickel-plating while maintaining optimal levels of adhesion, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and visual appeal. The ideal solution will contribute to increased efficiency, reduced process time, and enhanced overall productivity in the production of watch components. (Reward : 3 Lakh INR)
Safe and economic cleaning of rooftop and floating solar panels: Solar panels accumulate dust frequently and are difficult to clean, especially in inaccessible areas such as rooftops and water bodies (floating-type installations). (Reward : 5 Lakh INR)
Online health monitoring of Suction Ducts: We are seeking an online inspection system, preferably portable or capable of covering the entire length of duct. Ideally, this system should conduct measurements during plant operations, eliminating the need for shutdowns. (Reward : 10 Lakh INR)
Internal Inspection of Exhaust Gas Chimney during running condition: We are seeking a solution to inspect (assess the condition and measure wall thickness) the chimney in running condition as it saves time and avoids manual intervention completely. (Reward : 3 Lakh INR)
(Closing on: Aug-2023)
Eliminating the manual work of removing short bars at bundling areas: We are looking for an online & automatic system for identification and removal of short length rebars. (Reward : 10 Lakh INR)
Automation of anode replacement process: We are looking for an automated process to replace tin anodes, thereby eliminating manual process and reducing safety hazards. (Reward : 10 Lakh INR)
