Project Name: IIoT Sensor Hub Development
Category: Electrical (Hardware + Software)
Current Team: Umang, Harshit

Description: The project aims to develop a robust and reliable Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensor hub that will serve as a commercial product for industrial applications. Industrial machines require monitoring and maintenance, and certain primary machines, if they malfunction, can cause disruptions to the entire production process and result in significant losses.

Our module performs vibration analysis of the machine using accelerometer data and processes the frequency and time domain responses to identify bottlenecks. The processed data is stored on an SD card and also transferred over WiFi for further processing. In summary, the sensor hub will collect data from various sensors deployed in industrial machines, transmit it to the primary IC through CAN, perform advanced data processing and analysis, and securely transmit the data to a remote server for monitoring and analysis.

The project will strictly adhere to industry standards and guidelines, including Functional Safety (FuSA), ISO, and EMC compliance, ensuring a high level of quality and reliability.

Project Name:  Location-Based Tracking System

Partner: MapIT.ai

Sectors: Location Tracking, Indoor Positioning

Category: Software Development

Co-founders: Auro, Harshit, Balbir

Description: MapIT.ai is a cutting-edge startup founded by a team of IIT Bombay students specializing in the development and implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for a wide range of applications. Our mission is to empower individuals and organizations by harnessing the potential of IoT technology while placing people at the core of our solutions. This unique approach sets us apart as we focus on creating a seamless user-centric experience with IoT systems. Our expertise lies in indoor positioning, asset tracking, and indoor management applications, providing innovative and customized solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients.

This project is aimed at meeting the needs of IIT Bombay, particularly in the area of student affairs. The team has interacted with the Dean of Research and Development as well as the Dean of Student Affairs to ensure that all necessary measures are in place to support students. We are also looking forward to delivering a  presentation to the Deputy Director to provide an update on the project's progress. The main focus is on developing a range of tracking and management applications that will facilitate various processes related to student affairs, such as booking facilities and managing events. We are building multiple applications that will cater to the unique needs of IIT Bombay's student community and contribute to the overall efficiency of the institution.

The primary objective of this project is to implement a system that can effectively track visitors, regardless of the location, whether indoor or outdoor. Our approach does not require visitors to provide any form of identification; instead, it is based on their mobile device. By utilizing this technology, we aim to achieve two goals: firstly, to track the movement of visitors within a given area, and secondly, to provide a means of authentication for the visitors. The system will be able to identify the visitors' location and track their movement throughout the area, while also authenticating their identity using their mobile device. This will enable us to gain valuable insights into visitor behavior and improve the overall visitor experience.
