ESTABLISHMENT OF INNOVATE TN LAB [OCT 2022 – JULY 2023]
| Sl.No | Company | Challenge Descirption | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bell Pin - Labs | Improving efficiency of Electroplating plant using automation : Non Automation of electroplating process leads to huge waste in time, lower quality in output which leads to rejection of product and also retards the brand name. Making this process robust will help achieve better efficiency and productivity leading to better profits as well | Jermin Job M (ECE), Pravin.S (ECE), Ramya S (EEE), Rajapandi M (MECH) |
| 2 | Bell Pin - Labs | Financial and production loss in Medium scale electroplating industries due to inconsistent addition electroplating liquid. : Electroplating plant uses a chemical solution that needs to be added gradually and consistently to get quality output. Loss of consistency due to labor dependency in adding electroplating liquid causes decrease in quality and production. This leads to financial and production loss in Medium scale electroplating industries | Sajeetha Banu S (ECE),Sheik Mujibur Rahman P (MECH),Mohamed Sheik Mansoor V M (Mech), Ruhie.N (ECE) |
| 3 | Thazhal Geo Spatial Analytics | Land Price mapping and resource management system : Land Price mapping and resource management system to track historical Land price and thereby help in resource planning for the city. The land price data can help the real estate sectors and investors to know the minimum risk investment places. The land price can be affected due to climate related problems like groundwater depletion and high pollution. | Varshana Muki.B (ECE), S K SharmaNagarjun (MECH ), Hemalatha A (CSE), Anandhaguru (CSE) |
| 4 | Brand Maxima | Pregnancy Health Tracking : Inconsistent Pregnancy data leads to inaccuracy of diagnosis which eventually creates medication complications for both mother and baby. A device that can provide vital information to mother and caretaker and give alerts during critical situation will make pregnancy and childbirth smooth process | Muthu kumar V (MECH),Amritha Lakshmi B R (CSE), Venciya R (CSE), Por Pandian (ECE) |
| 5 | Brand Maxima | Green Cover and Carbon Foot print mapping for the city: Non Availability of tree data makes it hard to understand green cover absorption of the city thereby having adverse environmental effects Tracking of Trees in Tirunelveli district and mapping them with QR code to have real time data and trees present and find the equivalent carbon absorption to match the expected Green cover of the city | Naren Karthik M (EEE), Malathi K (EEE), Priyadharshini K (CSE),Anu Jasmine Swetha P (EEE) |
| 6 | Volar Alta | Delivery of Cold chain Medical essential using Drones : Last-mile delivery of vaccine and other cold-chain medical essentials using drones to Primary and Community Health Centers across rural areas. This will democratize access to healthcare in rural areas, thus facilitating timely access of medical essentials while preventing overcrowding at urban hospitals. This will result in a significant decline in the number of avoidable deaths across rural areas. | Priyadharshini K (CSE), Iswarya (MECH), Kaveri (ECE),Addal Rakkini (MECH) |
| 7 | Student Project | Automating upkeeping of toilets hence making it hygienic and usable: Upkeeping of toilet is challenging for hospitals as they lack adequate number of labours to upkeep it preoidically and consistently. Due to which the toilets remains dirty and patients,caretaker accompanying them,doctors and nurses finding it unusable. | Pritha R (ECE),Shrinivasan S (MECH),Balavigneshwaran M (CSE),Vanitha A (CSE) |
| 8 | Internal-CiX | Online monitoring of water supply pipe lines to identify water leakage: Water supply pipeline from MK Dam to the RDC plant is approx. 25 Kms long. Real-time monitoring of leakages is done through only 2 flow meters located at both ends of the pipelines. This leads to delayed response times due to the time taken to identify the leakage points. A comprehensive solution is needed to identify and locate leakages in real-time. | Mahaboo shifana fathima (ECE),Vijayalakshmi V (ECE), Anandaraj (CSE), Reshmi Fiona T (ECE) |
| 9 | Internal | Safelty enhance system for hazardous gas leakage : Wearable Gas Detection and Real-time Communication System for advanced Industrial Safety | Satheesh (ECE), Mohamed Athikur Rehman A (EEE), K.S.Lakshmy Priya (MECH), Dinesh (ECE) |
