A system for enabling multi-parts dispensing efficient for operators
The challenge addresses inefficiencies in dispensing multiple small components (e.g., clamps, nuts, bolts) for assembly, which often leads to incorrect counts and disrupts production. A scalable, cost-effective solution is sought to ensure accurate dispensing and enhance operational efficiency.

Challenge details:
Operators collect similar components required for the assembly process from the bins kept in a common place in the shopfloor. Operators collect components of one type, followed by another set of components of a different type, continuing this pattern sequentially. This sequential operation increases cycle time and at times result in wrong count of components being picked resulting in over-supply or under-supply of components. This disrupts the assembly line operations thereby delaying production, impacting overall operational efficiency. The issue is particularly pronounced for high volume small components such as clamps, nuts/bolts etc (10 to 24 or more).
Despite deploying measures like Bin labelling, laser based counting and manual checks, the inconsistencies persist due to human error and the repetitive nature of the task. We are seeking scalable, cost-effective, and innovative solutions that can enable accurate multi-component dispensing in a single go. This will ensure delivering right number of components to the assembly line and the operations continue without disruptions. The goal is to enhance operational efficiency, reduce delay, and support a more reliable and agile assembly process.
Online Condition Monitoring of Dredge Pump Lines
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
The challenge involves monitoring dredge pump-lines in Africas Rift Valley, facing harsh conditions, accessibility issues, and unreliable manual systems, requiring a robust, real-time integrated solution.
Condition Monitoring for Kiln Support Rollers and Gearboxes
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
Rotary kilns rely on gearboxes and support rollers for efficient rotation, but high temperatures and low RPM hinder effective condition monitoring.

A robust monitoring system is needed to withstand these conditions, providing accurate data for proactive maintenance and preventing downtime. Addressing this challenge is essential for maintaining kiln efficiency and reliability in the production process.
