Welcome to the Season 2 - Challenges of Tata Innoverse, Tata’s Open Innovation Program. Please feel free to go through them. We invite you to browse through the challenges and submit your solutions. For newer sets of challenges, to view all challenges across seasons, select the season from the drop down:
We refurbish worn out parts of various Machines/systems. Customers are charged based on the degree of damage to the sub-system components. We are looking to modify the inspection of the system.
View ChallengeCurrently Tea bags are sealed by stapling process. We are looking for cost effective, scalable solution for retrofitting Teabag machine to replace stapling process by other means of sealing.
View ChallengePolymeric ophthalmic lenses (plastic) have become increasingly popular recently due to their excellent optical properties, impact resistance, light weight, etc.
View ChallengePickling process is used to remove scales and oxide layer from the strip surface. Solutions are invited for environmentally friendly acid free pickling process.
View ChallengeHot and cold rolled steel coils are processed by slitting and cutting to produce them in desired sizes. An inspection system is sought to automatically detect, analyse, classify & label defects.
View ChallengeWooden donnages are used in packing and stacking of Finished Goods. Apart from high cost of wood, the quality of wood also poses a concern. We are therefore looking for alternative materials.
View ChallengeACTi CCTV cameras are installed in our premises. Solutions are invited for automatically assessing feed from these cameras to identify violations and trigger an alert.
View ChallengeThe challenge is that the Rebars are difficult to be counted manually as they are many in numbers. The requirement is to count the EXACT number of Rebars in a bundle
View ChallengeIdentification and removal of short length bars (non-prime) is manual in nature, which is not 100% accurate. We seek an innovative solution to identify short length Rebars from the sorting bed.
View ChallengeThe current methods of fabricating steel hollow sections is welding intensive, which is very challenging. We seek an improved mechanism of joining, which involves less of welding.
View ChallengeIndustrial dust emanating from various processes, gets deposited on structural roofs and dust needs to be cleaned on a periodic basis. We are seeking solutions to clean the heavy accumulation of dust.
View ChallengeHigh purity Iron powder is produced by reduction of ultrafine iron oxide. But while reducing the iron oxide it sometimes catches fire. We are seeking a solution to eliminate this pyrophoric tendency
