Challenge details:
The buildings in any manufacturing plant comprise of many load bearing structures (e.g. Truss supporting the roof, beams, pillars erected from the base, etc.). These load bearing structures support crane movement, ducts, cable trays, overhead pipelines, etc. and are subjected to static and/or dynamic (cyclic) loading. The structural members of these trusses are joined by fasteners (nuts & bolts) and/or welding. There are chances of loosening of fasters and/or cracks initiated in weld joints, thus creating a potential safety hazard condition.
Manual inspection of all such joints (nut & bolts and weld joints) to detect loosening of fasteners and cracks in weld joints is not possible as there are large number of trusses in the plant.
We are thus seeking a solution that can facilitate quick inspection of these structures and generate alerts if any loose fasteners or cracks observed in the joints. The inspection solution should be such that it can be used by a person standing on the ground & he/she should be able to check the nut bolt and weld joint condition.
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. Current ultrasonic methods are inadequate due to the harsh environment, leading to increased bearing failures and production stoppages. 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.
Long-Term Corrosion Protection Solutions for Coastal Industrial Structures
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We are seeking for innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions to protect from corrosion and extend the service life of both RCC and MS structures. The proposed solutions should aim to provide a minimum of 10 -15 years of protection under these challenging conditions.
Alternatives to Slag Blasting for Painting in Operational Plants
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We are actively seeking for solutions that can eliminate the need for slag blasting altogether, especially in sensitive zones, while still achieving effective surface cleaning.
Optimizing scrap blending for reduced power consumption in Electric Arc Furnace
Rewards proportional to the value add! Few solutions could be available! Efforts might be needed to customize the solution.
Steel scrap is blended for desired density and composition before charging into an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). Fluctuations in scrap density can cause inefficiencies and increased power consumption. An automated inspection system is needed for real-time scrap density detection
Automating Clamping and Routing Inspections at the End-of-Line and Pre-Delivery Inspection
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
This challenge focuses on detecting clamping and routing issues in chassis assembly during the End-of-Line (EOL) and Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) stages. The complexity of overlapping routing paths and reliance on manual inspection make it prone to errors, impacting vehicle safety and reliability.
A system for enabling multi-parts dispensing efficient for operators
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
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.
Real-time condition monitoring of equipment with continuously varying speed
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
This challenge involves real-time condition monitoring of critical components in Roller Brake Test (RBT) machines, which operate under variable speeds and dynamic conditions. The goal is to develop solutions for timely fault detection to prevent breakdowns and ensure reliability.
