Reward money is paid in exchange of legally acquiring the solution, implementing it to solve the problem and meeting the success criteria. Milestones for paying the reward money would depend upon the complexity of challenge and maturity of the proposed solution, which would be discussed with the solver as soon as the proposed solution is selected by us.

Challenge details:
At our plant, a continuous engine assembly line (with 40 assembly stations) handles various engine models, each undergoing multiple operations at designated stations. The inspection of the engines is deferred until all assembly steps are completed and rework is planned for the engines which have discrepancies.
It is expected that the missing or incomplete operations should be detected instantaneously, and an alert is issued to the operator so the same can be completed. In case of fastening (nut cranking) operations, it is necessary to record the torque values and link to respective engines for a later retrieval of these for tracking. This ensures precision in fastener application, critical for engine reliability and performance.
Visual inspection inside bustle main of blast furnaces
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We are seeking high-temperature visual inspection solutions to detect refractory damage, cracks and material build-up inside blast furnace blowstock and bustle main during shutdowns at temperatures of ~800-1000°C.
Detection of coolant carryover from mill
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We are seeking the solution which should operate reliably under continuous production conditions and enable timely intervention before coolant carryover impacts product quality downstream. The solution should be scalable across multiple rolling mill lines.
Automated Vehicle Parameter Verification on Running Assembly Line (VPN).
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We are seeking solution for automated, non-contact measurement of all critical vehicle dimensional parameters while the vehicle is moving on the assembly line conveyor before dispatch to ensure compliance with Vehicle pass off norms (VPN).
Taphole drill alignment for hot metal tapping in blast furnaces
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
Taphole drill alignment is currently verified manually near the blast furnace front, exposing operators to high temperatures and relying heavily on operator judgement. We seek an automated solution to identify the taphole centre, verify drill tool orientation and seating, and provide real-time alignment feedback, improving safety, drilling consistency, and operational reliability.
Mandrel plain bearing failure prevention
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
Plain bearing conditions are monitored manually or with basic tools, which often fail to detect early signs of wear, resulting in unexpected failures and costly repairs. At the start and end of rotation, when the shaft speed is low, boundary lubrication occurs, causing intermittent contact between the Roll Shaft and the plain bearing, leading to wear over time. A solution is needed for real-time, accurate, non-intrusive condition monitoring that can withstand high temperatures (45-80°C) and harsh environments.
