Goals of the project
1. Provide a framework for mapping the energy usage landscape in a manufacturing assembly line
2. Optimize energy usage in a manufacturing assembly line
Industrial Internet of Things
The Industrial Internet of Things will enable a factory manager to monitor and track assets in real-time, thereby creating a potential for data-driven decision making towards system and process optimisation.
Our Partner
We are delighted to work with Vinyas Innovative Technologies Pvt. Ltd. – located in Mysore. Vinyas is a PCB manufacturer whose factory is equipped with automated robotic and wave soldering.
Project Achievements
Our proof-of-concept involves real data from an SMT assembly line. Real-time factory data is gathered and analysed to generate actionable knowledge.
Sensing Modalities and Network Deployment
Data is collected from sensors connected to IOT End-Devices at the factory via IOT Gateway and Middleware server to the data store server at RBCCPS, IISc Bangalore.
Model Exploration
This involves the development of a detailed simulation model of the manufacturing line for prediction, bottleneck identification, what-if analysis, optimization and real-time monitoring.
Data Analysis
Algorithms were developed for detection of events in the machines. These events were further used to generate parameters for the simulation model.
Visualization
A 2D dashboard and a 3D model have been designed to provide a summary statistical analysis and show the events in the factory in real-time.

Job Posting
Technical Associate or Consultant Technologist (1 person, full time position)
We are looking for an experienced B.Tech / M.Tech graduate who has knowledge of electronic circuits, sensor front-end and actuator interfacing circuits, embedded systems, and communication protocols. Candidates with 2 or more years of experience on projects involving sensing, data acquisition, aggregation, inference, and actuation/control will be preferred. Leadership experience on such projects will be a plus. The project will be on implementation of an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform and associated data analytics to enable smart manufacturing. The employment will be initially for a period of 6 months, with a possibility of extension by another year.
Please send a cover letter and a two-page resume including your work experience to Mr. M.K.Subramani (subramanimk@iisc.ac.in) with the subject "Technical Associate or Consultant Technologist: IIoT".
