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:

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.

Non-Invasive Identification and Verification of Underground Cable Joints Prior to Excavation
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.

We are seeking a non‑invasive, above‑ground solution to identify underground cable joints and accurately distinguish the correct live cable among closely spaced cables, without excavation or offline signal injection, to support safe and efficient excavation planning.
...
Real Time Monitoring of Electrical Systems in Low- or No- Connectivity Remote Locations
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.

We are seeking a solution for reliable monitoring of electrical systems and field operations in low or no network environments, enabling secure offline operation, safety‑critical workflows, and seamless data synchronization once connectivity is available.

Eliminating LPG flame curtains in Annealing furnaces
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.

Gold jewellery annealing is performed in a furnace with a 75% hydrogen and 25% nitrogen atmosphere, where LPG flame curtains are used at the entry to prevent oxygen ingress during loading and unloading. There is a need to eliminate the use of flame curtains without compromising product quality, process stability, or safety. The solution must prevent oxidation, integrate with the existing setup, and enable safe, continuous operation within current spatial and retrofit constraints.

Preventing Elephant Electrocution from Overhead Power Lines
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.

Preventing elephant electrocution by enabling wildlife-safe electrical distribution in forest regions through scalable, infrastructure-based solutions—such as intelligent monitoring, early detection, adaptive insulation, and automated safeguards—designed to operate reliably across remote and challenging environments without direct interaction with wildlife.

Sustainable packaging material for internal logistics of jewellery articles
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.

We are seeking innovative, cost effective solutions that can prevent in-transit damages tojewellery articles by restricting their motion within the packaging. The packaging solution must be made of sustainable materials and be reusable if possible with low cost. Due to large variety of jewellery designs, it is desired that any packaging solution must be suitable for a broad range of shapes and sizes of jewellery to minimize the total number of SKUs.
