Challenge details:
We refurbish worn out (primarily metallic) parts (sub systems) of various types of Machines/systems such as motors, hydraulic systems, transmission elements, IC engines, Prime Movers & their sub systems.
Customers are charged based on the degree of damage to the sub-system components that are to be refurbished. The inspection is carried out at our designated service centres. If the wear and tear / damage of the sub-system components is within the set norms, customers are charged at a lower rate. However, if the wear and tear is beyond the set norms customers are charged a higher amount, and in some cases wherein the components are severely damaged, no refurbishment is carried out.
Our aim is to complete the inspection as quickly as possible. It takes typically around 24 to 48 hours to make a complete assessment of the condition of the sub-system components. The inspection is carried out by stripping down the machine/system and checking all the sub systems and the related interactions as per the guidelines.
The inspection is done visually, using gauges and specialized equipment for the specific components. Inspection is carried out to check for the following (fig 1):
- Mechanical wear and tear
- Any damage due to chemical reaction/attack on metallic surface
- Thermal and shock damages
- Internal cracks, chipping of metal
- Increase/decrease in clearances and interference problems.
This process is labour intensive and highly dependent on the operator"s skill & experience. The inspection is, therefore very subjective and cannot be scaled up easily. In addition, the efficiency of the operator also varies throughout the day. The operators get fatigued due to continuous operation. We are looking to modify the inspection process to improve efficiency and accuracy of inspection.
Solutions are invited that will satisfy the following criteria:
- We should be able to inspect the sub system components for wear and tear without stripping down main system. i.e the solution should be able to scan the sub-system components which are enclosed in a thick metallic enclosure that is 5-10mm thick.
- Perform accurate inspection very quickly, ideally in a few minutes and generate the inspection report.
- The solution should be inexpensive as we would like to deploy it in many locations throughout the country.
- It should not require skilled operators to operate the machine.
- It should be a standalone system and flexible enough to inspect various types/configurations of machines/setups.
Online Condition Monitoring of Dredge Pump Lines
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.
The challenge involves monitoring dredge pump-lines in Africas Rift Valley, facing harsh conditions, accessibility issues, and unreliable manual systems, requiring a robust, real-time integrated solution.
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.

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.
