Challenge details:
Diesel forklifts currently rely on mechanical or hydraulic braking systems with minimal electronic control, making it difficult to integrate automatic braking features. Unlike electric forklifts, they lack native electronic interfaces for sensors or actuators.
The challenge is to develop a reliable, retrofit-capable pedestrian detection and emergency braking system that can automatically stop the forklift when a pedestrian is detected, thereby preventing serious injuries or fatalities.
The solution must function effectively in harsh industrial environments with dust, poor lighting, cluttered layouts and rainy seasons , ensuring accurate detection and minimal false triggers. It should also be compatible with the limited electrical infrastructure of diesel forklifts, using an independent or auxiliary power source if required. Additionally, the system must meet industrial safety standards, offer fail-safe operation, and ensure smooth braking without affecting productivity or equipment reliability.
Digital Traceability for Individual Solar Cells Across the Manufacturing Lifecycle
Rewards proportional to the value add! Few solutions could be available! Efforts might be needed to customize the solution.
We are looking for a non‑invasive, robust solution to uniquely identify each solar cell throughout manufacturing and maintain its identity from full cell to final module.
Sustainable Packaging Solution for Edible Salt Transport
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We are looking for an innovative, sustainable, and food‑safe packaging solution to replace the current 50‑kg bags used for edible salt.
Automated removal of crown wheel from furnace for quenching
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
Crown wheels, which are critical components in automotive axles, are heated in a furnace to temperatures exceeding 960-degree C. The crown wheels are stacked together - typically 5 or 6 crown wheels - and each crown wheel is separated by a spacer (fixture). There are 25 types of crown wheels across 5 distinct families, each requiring precise thermal treatment.The crown wheels can weigh up to 45 Kg and have a diameter of 200-400 mm.The crown wheels need to be picked from the furnace and placed on the quenching fixture, before which the spacer needs to be removed. The takt time for one crown wheel is 1 minute.
Zero waste discharge solution for chemical sludge and ATFD salts from electronics manufacturing
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We are seeking practical, scalable, and economically viable solutions that can eliminate/reduce the sludge waste and ATFD salt volumes generated through the ETP and ZLD facilities and identify potential value creation through resource recovery pathways. The treatment process should be capable of seamless integration with the current operations.
Separation of Zn and Fe from GCP sludge cake
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
We seek technologies capable of recovering zinc from blast furnace gas cleaning plant sludge so that it can be safely and effectively reintroduced into the pellet‑making process. Any solution must be compatible with the sludge's typical composition—more than 20% carbon, 6-10% iron, and measurable quantities of manganese, calcium, and other heavy metals—while reducing its hazardous characteristics. Technology providers are expected to deliver end‑to‑end solutions, including feed preparation, zinc recovery processes, and downstream offtake arrangements. Proposed approaches should ensure long‑term operational feasibility and support the company's broader circular‑materials strategy.
Cobot for fuel tank fitment in a vehicle assembly line
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
A solution is desired to automate this activity which involves picking up the fuel tanks from the trolley, properly orient and place them on the brackets on the vehicle chassis and fasten the clamps to secure the tanks in place. The device used should be safe to operate alongside humans working on the assembly line (cobot).
