intensive, and conventional impact wrenches may use more
air than necessary due to inefficient flow paths, leakage,
and poor control of air consumption.

Design goal
The goal is to redesign an existing pneumatic impact
wrench to be both ergonomic and energy-efficient. The new
design should:

Improve weight distribution and handle geometry so that

the tool is comfortable to hold and easy to control during
prolonged use.

Reduce vibration and transmitted shock using anti-

vibration materials, isolation elements, and internal design
changes.

Optimize air flow and control so that the tool delivers the
required torque while using less compressed air, thereby
reducing energy consumption of the compressed air system.

Scope of work for students

Engineering students are expected to:

Analyze the current impact wrench design (mass, center of

gravity, handle angle, trigger position, vibration levels,
noise, air consumption and pressure requirements).

Identify ergonomic issues using basic ergonomics principles

(reach, grip span, posture, required grip force, compatibility
with different hand sizes).

Propose an improved handle and body design that:

Shifts the center of gravity closer to the operator’s wrist.

Uses appropriate handle shape, angle, and surface texture.

Integrates anti-vibration mounts, damping materials, or

counterbalancing mechanisms.

Propose modifications to the pneumatic circuit and internal

components (ports, valves, rotor, exhaust paths, control
modes) to reduce unnecessary air usage while maintaining
or improving torque output.

Consider manufacturability, durability, and maintenance of

the redesigned tool.

Expected outcome (must be included in the problem

statement)
Reduced operator fatigue and MSD risk:
The redesigned impact wrench should feel lighter in use
due to better weight distribution and ergonomics, transmit
less vibration to the hand and arm, and allow operators to
work comfortably for longer periods with lower risk of
musculoskeletal disorders.

Improved controllability and safety:

Operators should experience better balance, grip, and
trigger control, resulting in more precise torque application,
fewer handling errors, and improved overall safety on the
shop floor.

Lower compressed air and energy consumption:

The optimized air usage system should reduce the volume
of compressed air required per tightening operation,
leading to lower energy demand on the compressor system
and reduced operating costs.
Demonstrated design process and justification:
Students will document their ergonomic analysis, design
choices, and energy-efficiency improvements with
calculations, simple simulations or estimates, and
comparisons to the original design, showing a clear
engineering rationale for the proposed optimization.

spaghetti diagrams to show movements of materials and
operators.

List all operations for:

Plastic housing: material storage → moulding/forming →

trimming/finishing → inspection → storage.

Sensor sub-assembly: PCB preparation → component

assembly/soldering → sensor mounting →
testing/calibration → inspection → storage.

Identify forms of waste (transport, waiting, excess

inventory, motion, rework) in the current layout and
process flow.

Propose:

A revised plant layout (e.g., product- or cell-based) that

groups related operations and shortens material paths.

Problem Statement No : TNI26033

Design a robotic arm for repetitive tasks (sorting,

packing, inspection) that can be assembled with
affordable components.

Background and Need

Small and medium enterprises often rely on manual labor
for repetitive operations such as sorting products, packing
items into containers, and performing visual or basic
dimensional inspection. This increases operator fatigue,
variability in quality, and labor costs, especially for high-
volume tasks. There is a growing need for an affordable
robotic arm solution that can automate these repetitive
tasks without requiring expensive industrial robots or
complex integration.

Target Users and Application Context

The primary users are small manufacturing units,
packaging facilities, warehouses, and educational or startup
labs that require light to medium-duty automation. Typical
use cases include pick-and-place operations on conveyor
lines, bin sorting by size or color, basic packing into cartons,
and camera-based inspection of simple features.

Functional Requirements
The robotic arm should provide at least 4–6 degrees of
freedom to enable flexible reach and orientation for sorting,
packing, and inspection tasks. It must handle light payloads
(for example 0.5–3 kg) with reasonable positional
repeatability suitable for small parts handling.
Interchangeable end-effectors such as a simple gripper,
suction cup, or camera mount should be supported to
switch quickly between applications.

Design and Hardware Constraints

The system must be built from affordable, readily available
components such as stepper or low-cost servo motors, 3D-
printed or aluminum profiles for links, and off-the-shelf
microcontrollers or single-board computers for control.
Joints and linkages should be designed for easy assembly
with basic tools and minimal precision machining, focusing
on robustness rather than ultra-high accuracy.

Control, Sensing, and User Interface

The arm should use open-source control firmware and a
simple user interface that allows non-experts to teach
points or define basic motion sequences (e.g., via a
graphical interface or manual jogging and point recording).
Low-cost sensors such as limit switches, basic encoders, and
optionally a low-cost camera can be used for position
feedback and inspection tasks. Safety features like software
travel limits and emergency stop inputs should be included.

Cost and Scalability Goals

The overall bill of materials should remain low enough to
be viable for small organizations and educational users,
while the modular mechanical and electronic design should
allow upgrades (better motors, additional sensors, more
advanced grippers) without redesigning the entire system.
This ensures the robotic arm can start as a basic low-cost
unit and evolve with the user’s needs over time.

heavily dependent on individual operator skill and
attention, especially as production volumes increase.

Problem Overview
Conventional automated inspection systems based on
industrial cameras and dedicated vision hardware are
costly and complex, making them unsuitable for many
small units with limited budgets and technical expertise.
There is a need for a low-cost, easy-to-deploy defect
detection solution that fits the economic and operational
realities of small-scale industries.
Proposed Direction
The problem is to develop an AI-driven defect detection
system that uses widely available smartphone cameras to
capture product images and automatically detect visual
defects. The system should run on affordable computing
platforms (on-device or low-cost edge/cloud) and not
require specialized industrial imaging hardware.

Key Functional Requirements

Build a cobot (collaborative robot) simulation

model for small manufacturing units.

Context and Objective

Small manufacturing units handle low-volume, high-mix
tasks (assembly, loading/unloading, packing, basic
inspection) where traditional industrial robots are too
costly and rigid. A simulation model of a collaborative robot
(cobot) lets these units explore workflows, safety zones, and
cycle times digitally, reducing risk and integration time
before any physical installation.​

Scope of the Simulation

The model should represent a human–robot shared
workspace where a cobot performs tasks like pick-and-
place, simple assembly, or machine tending alongside an
operator. It must include robot kinematics, basic dynamics,
collision detection with humans/objects, and task-level logic
(e.g., loading a CNC fixture or packing parts in boxes).​

Functional Requirements
Virtual 4–6 DOF cobot arm with configurable reach,
payload, and joint limits.

Tools such as grippers or vacuum end-effectors modeled as

interchangeable attachments.

Layout elements: worktables, small machines (CNC, press,

conveyor), and human operator zones.
Simulation of trajectories, cycle times, and simple collision-
avoidance behavior to test safe collaboration and
productivity.​

Software and Implementation Approach

Use accessible platforms (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink Robotics,
Gazebo/ROS, or similar environments) that support robot
modeling, inverse kinematics, and motion planning for
cobots. The model should allow users to define tasks via
waypoints or simple block diagrams/state machines, then
run “what-if” scenarios by changing product flow, robot
speed, or workstation layout.​

Expected Benefits for Small Units

The simulation helps SMEs estimate return on investment,
choose suitable cobot sizes, and design safer, more
ergonomic work cells before purchasing equipment. It also
reduces commissioning time, since tested paths and
workflows in simulation can later be transferred.

Automate warehouse inventory counting using

drones or simple robotics

Problem Context
Manual inventory counting is slow, labor-intensive, and
error-prone, especially in warehouses with high racks and
large SKUs. Workers need lifts or ladders to access upper
locations, increasing safety risks and disrupting operations
during full counts or cycle counts. As order volumes grow,
warehouses need more frequent, accurate counts without
stopping operations.​

‑ ‑
Concept: Drone or Robot Based Counting
Drones: Small autonomous quadcopters equipped with
cameras and barcode/RFID scanners fly along predefined
paths in aisles, scanning pallet and shelf labels from floor to
top rack. They operate during off-hours (nights/weekends),
uploading captured data after each mission.​

Ground Robots/AMRs: Simple mobile robots navigate aisles,

using mast-mounted cameras or scanners to read labels at
lower and mid-level shelves, and can complement or
replace drones in low-bay warehouses.​

Core Functional Requirements

Autonomous navigation in the warehouse with obstacle
avoidance and aisle-level mapping.

High-resolution imaging plus software to batch-scan

multiple barcodes and QR codes at once, and associate each
code with its rack location.​

Real-time or periodic synchronization with the WMS to

compare physical counts against system records and flag
mismatches, empty locations, and misplaced items.​

System Architecture (Low-Cost Focus)

Use COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) drones or differential-
drive robots with added cameras/scanners and low-cost
onboard computers.

Implement computer vision and navigation using open-

source tools to reduce licensing costs, while cloud or local
servers handle data processing and dashboards.

Start with semi-autonomous operation (operator starts

mission and supervises) and evolve to fully autonomous
flights or runs as reliability improves.​

Expected Benefits
Such a system reduces manual counting time, minimizes
errors, improves inventory accuracy, and allows human
workers to focus on higher-value tasks. It also increases
safety by removing the need for working at height and
provides more frequent cycle counts without halting
warehouse operations

decisions (adding a machine, changing batch size,
reassigning operators, altering layout) will impact overall
output. Doing this directly on the shop floor is risky and
‑
time consuming because experiments can disrupt actual
production.​

The problem is to develop a digital twin model of a small

factory line that virtually represents machines, workers,
material flow, and schedules, and can be used to simulate
and visualize production bottlenecks under different
scenarios.​

What the Digital Twin Should Represent

A simplified factory layout with key workstations,
machines, buffers, and material routes.

Process data: cycle times, setup times,

breakdowns/maintenance, and changeovers for each
station.

Resource constraints: limited number of operators, shifts,

and shared resources such as forklifts or inspection
stations.

Production orders and product routing so that multiple

product types can be simulated through the same line.​

Functional Requirements of the Model

Simulate product flow over time and show queues, waiting
times, and machine utilization.
Automatically highlight where bottlenecks form (stations
with highest utilization or longest queues).

‑
Allow “what if” experiments by changing input parameters
(demand, process times, number of machines/operators,
buffer sizes, or layout) and observing the impact on
throughput and lead time.

Provide basic graphical visualization so that users can see

the movement of jobs and the effect of congestion in
different parts of the factory.​

Constraints and Expectations

The digital twin should be implementable using accessible
simulation or modeling tools suitable for students (e.g.,
‑
discrete event simulation or 3D factory modeling
‑
environments), without requiring high end industrial
software licenses. The model does not need to capture every
detail of the factory, but it must be realistic enough to
‑
support decision making about bottlenecks, resource
utilization, and process improvement in a small
manufacturing setup

Problem Statement No : TNI26038

Create a low-code/no-code platform for MSMEs to
digitize their operations.

Context: MSMEs and Digital Gaps

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) need digital
tools for tasks like order tracking, inventory, invoicing,
‑
customer follow up, and basic analytics. Many still rely on
paper records, spreadsheets, or disconnected mobile apps,
leading to data duplication, errors, and lack of real-time
visibility. At the same time, they cannot afford full-time IT
teams or custom software development, making traditional
digitization slow and expensive.​

Core Problem to Address

MSMEs require a simple way to build and modify basic
business applications (forms, workflows, dashboards)
without writing code. The challenge is to design a
‑ ‑ ‑
low code/no code platform that enables non technical users
(“citizen developers”) to digitize their operations—such as
sales tracking, service requests, stock logs, and approvals—
using visual tools instead of programming.​

Expected Capabilities of the Platform

‑ ‑
A visual interface (drag and drop) to design data forms,
lists, and basic databases (e.g., products, customers, orders).

Workflow creation for common business processes:

approvals, notifications, task assignments, and reminders.

Simple rules/logic configuration (if–then conditions) for

validations and automatic actions (e.g., send
WhatsApp/SMS/email when stock is low).

Basic reporting and dashboards so owners can see key

metrics like daily sales, pending orders, or payment status.​

Constraints and Design Considerations

The platform must work on low-cost hardware (entry-level
laptops and smartphones) and in environments with
limited internet connectivity, possibly supporting offline
data capture with later sync. It should have an intuitive
interface in local languages, minimal setup steps, and low
total cost of ownership (e.g., freemium or inexpensive
subscription). Security and data backup need to be handled
in a simple, reliable way suitable for small businesses.​

Integration and Extensibility

To be practically useful, the platform should offer easy
connections to common services used by MSMEs (e.g.,
spreadsheets, email, messaging apps, or basic accounting
tools) through simple connectors or import/export options.
The design should allow future extension with more
advanced features (like simple APIs or templates for specific
sectors) without increasing complexity for first-time users.

Build a smart scheduling system for workforce

and machine allocation in small industries.

Background: Scheduling Challenges in Small Industries

Small manufacturing units often plan production using
paper charts or spreadsheets, relying heavily on the
experience of one or two supervisors. This manual
approach struggles to handle real-world issues such as
machine breakdowns, urgent customer orders, material
delays, and worker absenteeism. As a result, some machines
remain idle while others are overloaded, workers wait for
jobs or materials, and customer due dates are frequently
missed.

Problem Statement
The problem is to build a smart scheduling system that
automatically creates and updates production schedules for
both machines and workers in a small factory. The system
should allocate jobs to available machines and assign
suitable operators in a way that reduces idle time, avoids
overloading resources, and helps meet delivery deadlines. It
must be simple enough to use in a small industry that may
not have a full ERP or specialist planning team.

Core Functional Requirements

Maintain a list of jobs with details such as processing time,
due date, priority, and required machine/skill.

Track machine status (available, busy, under maintenance,

breakdown) and worker availability (shift, skills, leave).

Generate a feasible daily/weekly schedule that assigns jobs

to machines and workers while respecting capacity and
precedence constraints.

Support dynamic rescheduling when disruptions occur

(rush orders, breakdowns, absenteeism) and suggest
updated sequences with minimal manual editing.

Provide a clear visual representation (e.g., Gantt chart or

timeline) so supervisors can quickly understand and adjust
the plan.

Design Constraints and Practical Considerations

The system should run on standard computers or tablets
commonly available in small industries and use simple data
inputs (forms or imported spreadsheets). The scheduling
logic can be based on rule-based heuristics or basic
optimization but must produce results that are transparent
and explainable to users. The interface must be intuitive so
that production supervisors and planners can operate it
without advanced IT skills.

Expected Outcomes for the Factory

By adopting such a smart scheduling system, a small
industry should be able to:

Reduce machine idle time and worker waiting time.

Improve on-time delivery performance and responsiveness

to urgent orders.

Make better use of limited resources (machines, tools, and

skilled workers).

Move from reactive, last-minute firefighting to more stable,

data-driven production planning.

Quality Control & Supply Chain Traceability

Problem Statement No : TNI26040

Develop a blockchain-based supply chain
traceability solution for agri/food industries.

Industry Context
Agri/food products pass through many stages—farm,
collection centers, processors, distributors, retailers—before
reaching consumers. At each stage, data like origin, batch
details, storage conditions, and handling practices are often
recorded on paper or in isolated digital systems. This leads
to poor visibility, difficulty in tracing contamination
sources, and challenges in verifying quality and
certifications (e.g., organic, fair trade).

Core Problem
When food safety issues, adulteration, or quality complaints
arise, current systems make it slow and difficult to trace a
product back through all supply chain steps. Data can be
incomplete, altered, or not trusted by all parties. The
‑
problem is to design a secure, tamper resistant traceability
solution that links all key events in the supply chain and
‑ ‑
makes them visible to authorized stakeholders end to end.

Proposed Direction: Blockchain for Traceability

The goal is to use blockchain as a shared ledger where each
participant (farmer groups, logistics providers, processors,
retailers) records key events such as harvest, batch creation,
quality tests, storage, transport, and sale. Once written,
‑
records should be immutable and time stamped, so that the
history of a batch can be reconstructed reliably from farm
to fork. Simple interfaces (web/mobile) must allow small
farmers and SMEs to participate without deep technical
knowledge.

Functional Requirements
Define a unique digital identity for products or batches (e.g.,
QR code, RFID, or numeric ID) that links to their blockchain
record.
Capture and store critical events: harvest date and location,
processing steps, temperature logs, transport handovers,
quality test results, and certifications.

Provide query and visualization tools so users can scan a

code and view the product’s entire journey and key quality
attributes.

‑
Enforce role based access so different actors (farmer,
processor, retailer, regulator, consumer) see appropriate
levels of detail while maintaining data integrity.

Constraints and Practical Considerations

The system should work with low-cost hardware
(smartphones, simple scanners) and intermittent
‑
connectivity in rural or semi urban areas. Data entry must
be simple (forms, photo upload, basic dropdowns) so that
‑
non technical users can reliably record events. The
blockchain architecture should be lightweight (e.g.,
permissioned network) to keep transaction costs low and
‑ ‑
latency acceptable for real time or near real time
traceability needs.

Sustainable & Circular Economy Solutions

Problem Statement No : TNI26041

Design a waste segregation and recycling solution
for industrial campuses.

Problem context and need

Industrial campuses generate multiple types of waste every
day, including metal scraps, plastics, paper, packaging
materials, hazardous waste, e-waste, and organic waste
from canteens. In many facilities, these waste streams are
mixed at the source or only roughly segregated, leading to
low recycling rates, higher disposal costs, safety risks, and
non-compliance with environmental regulations. Manual
segregation is inconsistent and depends heavily on worker
awareness and discipline, making it difficult for industries
to achieve sustainability targets and demonstrate
responsible waste management to customers and
regulators.

Core waste management problem

The core problem is to design a practical waste segregation
and recycling solution that ensures different waste streams
are correctly identified, separated, tracked, and routed to
appropriate recycling or disposal channels across an
industrial campus. The solution must define how waste is
classified at the point of generation, how segregation is
enforced or assisted, and how data on waste quantity, type,
and destination is recorded so that waste reduction and
recycling performance can be measured and improved.

Functional requirements of the

solution
Provide clearly defined waste categories (e.g., metal, plastic,
paper, hazardous, e-waste, organic) with standardized color
coding and labeling across the campus.

Enable source-level segregation using smart bins, labeled

containers, or assisted sorting mechanisms at production
areas, warehouses, offices, and canteens.
Capture key data for each waste stream, such as waste type,
quantity or weight, location, time, and destination (recycled,
reused, treated, or disposed).

Support digital logging through simple tools such as QR

codes on bins, mobile apps, or weighing stations to record
waste movement and handover to recyclers.

Provide dashboards or reports for facility managers to

monitor waste generation trends, recycling rates, and
compliance status, and to identify areas for waste
reduction.

Design constraints and practical

considerations
The solution should be affordable and scalable for small to
medium industrial campuses, using low-cost hardware
(labeled bins, weighing scales, QR codes) and simple digital
platforms (spreadsheets, local databases, or cloud-based
tools). It must integrate smoothly into daily operations
without adding excessive workload for workers, relying on
clear visual cues and minimal data entry. The system should
comply with local environmental and safety regulations,
support basic audit trails, and allow role-based access for
operators, housekeeping staff, and environmental
managers.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is an industrial campus with a
structured, measurable, and sustainable waste management
system that enables:

Accurate segregation of waste at the source, leading to

higher recycling and reuse rates and reduced landfill
disposal.
Lower waste handling and disposal costs through better
recovery of valuable materials and reduced contamination.

Improved environmental compliance and audit readiness,

with clear records of waste generation, segregation, and
recycling.

Increased employee awareness and participation in

sustainability practices through simple, visible, and
consistent systems.

Data-driven decisions to reduce waste generation over time,

supporting corporate sustainability and ESG goals.

Sustainability & Green Manufacturing

Problem Statement No : TNI26042

Develop a solar-powered cold storage system for

farmers to reduce food spoilage.

Context: Post-Harvest Losses for Farmers

Small and marginal farmers often harvest fruits, vegetables,
and other perishable produce without access to reliable
cold storage. Limited grid connectivity, frequent power cuts,
and high electricity costs make conventional cold rooms
unaffordable or impractical in rural areas. As a result,
farmers are forced to sell quickly at low prices or face
significant spoilage and income loss.
Core Problem to Be Solved
The challenge is to design a small-scale, solar-powered cold
storage system that can operate in off-grid or weak-grid
rural locations. The system must maintain suitable
temperature and humidity conditions for typical
perishables (e.g., fruits, vegetables, dairy) using solar energy
as the primary power source, possibly with battery or
thermal storage for night-time and cloudy periods. It should
be technically robust yet affordable for farmer groups or
cooperatives.

Functional Requirements of the System

Provide a well-insulated cold chamber sized for small farm
holdings or farmer collectives (e.g., a few hundred
kilograms of produce).

Maintain target temperature and humidity ranges

appropriate for common local crops over several days.

Integrate a solar power subsystem (PV panels, charge

controller, storage: battery or thermal) to run refrigeration
components with minimal or no grid dependence.

Include basic monitoring and control (temperature,

humidity, door open status) with simple user feedback or
alarms.

Design Constraints and Practical Considerations

The system should use materials and components that are
locally available and easy to maintain (standard
refrigeration units, commonly available insulation
materials, simple structural frames). It must be robust
against dust, high ambient temperatures, and rural
handling conditions. The design should minimize energy
consumption through efficient insulation, appropriate
sizing of the cooling unit, and effective use of thermal mass.
Initial and operating costs must be low enough to be viable
for individual farmers, self-help groups, or cooperatives,
possibly through shared usage models.

Expected Impact for Farmers

A successful solar-powered cold storage solution will reduce
post-harvest food spoilage, allow farmers to store produce
for better market prices, and improve income stability. It
will also promote renewable energy use in rural areas,
reducing dependence on unreliable grid power and diesel
generators, and supporting more sustainable agricultural
value chains.

Sustainability & Resource Efficiency

Problem Statement No : TNI26043

Create a circular economy model for plastic waste

reuse in manufacturing.

Background and Motivation

Manufacturing industries use large amounts of plastic for
products and packaging, but most of this plastic becomes
waste after a single use. In many regions, this waste is
either landfilled, openly burned, or leaks into the
environment, causing pollution, resource loss, and higher
material costs for industry. A circular economy approach
aims to keep plastic in use for as long as possible through
reuse, repair, and recycling instead of the traditional “take–
make–dispose” model.
Core Problem Definition
The main problem is that current manufacturing processes
are largely linear: industries buy virgin (new) plastic,
manufacture products, and discard post-consumer and
production scrap without systematically bringing it back
into the production cycle. This leads to high demand for
virgin raw materials, high waste management costs, and
environmental damage. The project needs to design a
circular economy model in which plastic waste from
consumers, industrial scrap, and packaging is collected,
sorted, processed, and reintroduced as a usable raw
material in manufacturing with acceptable quality and cost.

Objectives of the Proposed Model

Develop a closed-loop system where a significant portion of
plastic waste is converted into feedstock for new products
instead of being discarded.

Establish guidelines for collection, segregation, and

preprocessing (cleaning, shredding, pelletizing) of different
plastic types to meet manufacturing quality requirements.

Integrate economic incentives and logistics planning so that

manufacturers, recyclers, and consumers find it beneficial
to participate in the plastic return and reuse system.

Demonstrate how product design (e.g., using single-type

plastics, modular designs) can make future recycling and
reuse easier.

System Scope and Functional Requirements

The model should cover the full cycle from plastic product
design and material selection, through use and disposal,
back to reuse in manufacturing. It must define:

Sources of plastic waste (households, commercial, industrial

scrap) and methods for collection and sorting.

Processes for recycling or upcycling (mechanical recycling,

possible chemical recycling at conceptual level) and quality
checks for recycled plastic.

How recycled plastic will be blended or used in new

manufacturing processes without compromising safety and
performance for selected applications.

Basic data flows (material tracking, batch identification) to

ensure traceability and quality control of recycled material.

Constraints and Practical Considerations

The circular model must be technically feasible with
commonly available technologies and financially viable for
real-world manufacturers. It should address challenges like
contamination of plastic waste, mixed plastic types, variable
quality of recycled material, and the energy required for
recycling processes. The design must also consider local
regulations, safety standards, and the need for awareness
programs so that consumers and workers participate
correctly in segregation and return of plastic waste.

Propose a sustainable energy recovery system for
industrial heat/wastewater.

Industrial plants release large amounts of unused heat and

warm wastewater that could be turned into useful energy
instead of being discharged to the environment. A
sustainable energy recovery system aims to capture this
“waste” energy and reuse it inside the plant or nearby
facilities, reducing fuel consumption, operating costs, and
emissions.

Problem context
In many factories, exhaust gases, hot process streams, and
warm wastewater leave equipment at elevated
temperatures and are simply vented or discharged. This
leads to avoidable energy loss, higher fuel use for boilers or
heaters, and thermal pollution of nearby water bodies. At
the same time, the same plants often need hot water, steam,
space heating, or electricity, which they produce using
additional fossil energy.

Core engineering problem

The engineering challenge is to design a recovery system
that can reliably capture heat from industrial exhausts and
wastewater and convert it into usable forms such as hot
water, process heat, or electricity. The system must match
the temperature and flow rate of available waste streams to
suitable technologies (heat exchangers, heat pumps, or
power cycles) and integrate them with existing plant
utilities. Students must balance technical feasibility, cost,
maintenance needs, and environmental benefits.

Technical focus areas

Characterization of waste streams: temperature, flow rate,
composition, variability over time.

Technology selection: direct heat recovery via heat

exchangers, use of heat pumps to upgrade low-temperature
heat, and possible power generation using organic Rankine
cycle or similar when temperatures are high enough.

System integration: piping layout, control strategy, safety

considerations, and interfaces with boilers, cooling towers,
or process units.

Water side: using treated warm wastewater for preheating

feedwater, space heating, or low-temperature drying, while
ensuring water quality and corrosion control.

Constraints and design considerations

The solution must be modular and adaptable to different
industries (food processing, chemicals, textiles, etc.) and
must not interfere with core production processes. Capital
costs, payback time, and maintenance complexity should be
acceptable for typical industrial operators, with preference
for robust, low-maintenance components. Environmental
aspects such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower
thermal pollution, and improved water use efficiency
should be quantified where possible to highlight
sustainability gains.

Expected outcomes
A well-designed system will reduce overall fuel and
electricity consumption, stabilize energy bills, and lower
emissions for the industrial facility. It can also improve
compliance with environmental regulations and enhance
the plant’s sustainability profile, while offering students a
practical case of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and
process integration applied to real-world industrial
problems.

Develop a low-cost real-time quality inspection

system for textiles/automotive components

A low-cost real-time quality inspection system for textiles or

automotive components can be built around simple
cameras, controlled lighting, and lightweight image-
processing or AI models running on affordable hardware.
Such a system replaces or supports manual visual
inspection on the production line, aiming to detect defects
early without slowing down production.​

Problem background
In both textile and automotive industries, quality inspection
is still often done manually by operators who visually check
fabrics or parts for defects such as holes, stains, scratches,
cracks, or dimensional errors. Manual inspection is tiring,
inconsistent, and cannot reliably keep up with high-speed
production lines, leading to missed defects, rework, and
customer complaints.​

Core engineering problem

The main challenge is to design a low-cost, real-time
inspection system that uses cameras and simple processing
to automatically detect surface defects or obvious
dimensional issues on moving products. The system must
work at line speed, be robust to variations in lighting and
part position, and generate pass/fail decisions or defect
alarms with minimal latency so that operators can react
immediately.​

System elements to design

Image acquisition: selection and placement of low-cost
industrial or USB cameras and suitable lighting (e.g., LED
strip or ring lights) to highlight defects on textiles or
metallic/plastic automotive parts.​

Image processing and detection: implementation of basic

algorithms (edge detection, thresholding, template
matching) or small AI models that can run on embedded
boards or standard PCs to identify anomalies in real time.​

Integration and feedback: user interface with simple

indicators (green/red lights, alarms), logging of defect
images and part IDs, and basic connectivity to production
systems for traceability and continuous improvement.​

Constraints and student design focus

The solution should minimize hardware cost by using off-
the-shelf cameras, inexpensive lighting, and basic
computing platforms such as single-board computers or a
shared PC. Algorithms must be efficient enough to run at the
required frame rate without GPUs, and the system should
be easy to calibrate and maintain by shop-floor staff.
Engineering students can focus on choosing inspection
scenarios (e.g., woven fabric on a moving roll, or a specific
automotive component on a conveyor), defining defect
types to detect, and designing test setups to evaluate
detection accuracy versus cost and complexity.

Quality & Reliability Enhancement

Problem Statement No : TNI26046

Create a data analytics model to reduce rejection

rates in small industries.

A data analytics model to reduce rejection rates in small

industries focuses on collecting simple production and
quality data, analysing patterns in defects, and using these
insights to control and improve the process.

Problem context
Small manufacturing industries often depend on manual
inspection and basic records, so defects and rejections are
noticed only after many bad parts are produced. They
usually lack automated monitoring and structured analysis,
which means root causes of defects (machine issues,
operator errors, material problems) are not clearly known,
leading to repeated quality problems and higher costs.​

Goal of the analytics model

The goal is to build a low-cost, easy-to-use data analytics
framework that helps small industries measure their
rejection rates, identify major defect types and causes, and
monitor process stability over time. The model should guide
engineers and supervisors to take corrective and preventive
actions, for example by adjusting process parameters,
improving training, or maintaining specific machines more
often.​

Key data and tools

Data inputs: production quantity, rejected quantity, defect
categories, machine ID, operator, shift, material batch, and
key process parameters (speed, temperature, pressure, etc.).​
Analytical methods: basic descriptive statistics, Pareto
charts for top defects, control charts (SPC) to monitor
process stability, and simple regression or correlation
analysis to link process variables to rejection rates.​

Outputs: dashboards or simple reports showing

daily/weekly rejection percentages, major defect causes,
out-of-control signals, and recommended focus areas for
improvement.​

Design constraints for small industries

The solution must work with limited budgets, minimal IT
infrastructure, and non-expert users. It should be
implementable using spreadsheets or simple open-source
tools rather than expensive software, and data collection
should fit into existing workflows to avoid extra burden on
operators. Documentation and training materials should be
simple so that small industry staff can sustain the analytics-
driven quality improvement on their own over time.

Quality Control & Supply Chain Traceability

Problem Statement No : TNI26047

Propose a traceability solution for defects in

production lines.
Propose a traceability solution for defects in production
lines.
expected outcome is must for all the problem statement
A traceability solution for defects in production lines links
each defective part back to its materials, processes,
machines, and operators, so root causes can be found
quickly and similar defects can be contained. The expected
outcome is a structured, data-driven way to detect, analyse,
and prevent defects instead of relying on manual notes and
memory.

Problem context and need

In many small and medium factories, defects are recorded
in logbooks or spreadsheets without a clear link to specific
batches, machines, or process steps. When a defect is found
—either in-process or at final inspection—engineers
struggle to answer basic questions such as “Which other
parts are affected?” or “Did this come from a specific
material lot or shift?” This leads to repeated quality
problems, broad and costly rework or recalls, and difficulty
proving compliance to customers and regulators.​

Core traceability problem

The core problem is to design a defect traceability solution
that can record the “history” of each product unit or batch
across the production line and connect any detected defect
back to that history. The solution must define how to
uniquely identify parts or batches, which process and
quality data to capture at each station, and how to store and
retrieve this information efficiently so that backward
(cause-finding) and forward (impact assessment) tracing are
both possible.​

Functional requirements of the solution

Assign a unique ID (serial number, QR code, RFID, or batch
code) to each part or batch at the start of production and
scan it at each critical process and inspection step.
Capture key data per step: machine used, operator ID, time
stamp, process parameters, inspection results, and any
rework actions.

Store all records in a central database that allows fast

queries such as “show all parts processed on Machine X
during Shift Y” or “find all shipments that contain parts
from Batch Z.”

Provide simple screens or dashboards for operators and

quality engineers to log defects, view part history, and
trigger containment or corrective actions when a pattern is
detected.​

Design constraints and practical considerations

The solution should be suitable for small and medium
production lines with limited budgets and IT resources,
using affordable technologies like barcode/QR scanners,
tablets or PCs on the shop floor, and straightforward
database or cloud services. Data capture must be simple and
integrated into normal work, with minimal extra steps for
operators, and the system must support role-based access
and basic audit trails to maintain data integrity and meet
customer or regulatory requirements where applicable.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a production line where every
defect can be traced quickly to its root causes and affected
scope, enabling:

Faster and more precise containment (only the truly

affected lots or serial numbers are held or recalled, not
entire days of production).​

Reduced recurring defects through data-driven corrective

actions, since trends by machine, material, or shift become
visible.

Lower rework and scrap costs and improved customer

confidence, as the manufacturer can demonstrate clear
product history and rapid response to quality issues.

Better readiness for audits and compliance requirements,

especially for industries where traceability is mandatory

Build an AI-based testing assistant for electronics

and hardware components.

An AI-based testing assistant for electronics and hardware

components can guide engineers and technicians through
test planning, execution, data analysis, and fault diagnosis,
using past test data and design information to reduce effort
and errors.​

Problem context
Electronics and hardware testing today involves many
manual steps: selecting test points, writing test procedures,
configuring instruments, capturing measurements, and
interpreting logs. This work is often repeated for similar
boards or variants and depends heavily on expert
knowledge, making it slow, inconsistent, and prone to
oversight. At the same time, large amounts of historical test
data and design information (schematics, BOMs, simulation
results) remain underused.

Core idea of the AI assistant

The problem is to build an AI-based assistant that can learn
from design files, historical test results, and standard test
practices to support engineers during the entire test
lifecycle. The assistant should be able to suggest test plans
and priorities, recommend test instrument settings, detect
anomalies in live or logged data, and propose likely fault
locations or components based on observed symptoms. It
should act as a “co-pilot” to the test engineer, not a
replacement.

Functional scope
Ingest design information (schematics, netlists, component
data) to identify critical signals and components to test.

Use historical test and failure data to propose test cases,

acceptance limits, and high-risk areas to focus on.

Assist during execution by auto-generating or suggesting

instrument scripts, configuring measurement ranges, and
monitoring data streams for out-of-spec behaviour.

Analyse test logs using pattern recognition or machine

learning to classify failure modes, correlate issues across
boards or batches, and suggest probable root causes or next
diagnostic steps.

Provide an interactive interface (chat-style or guided UI)

where users can ask questions such as “What should I test
for this board revision?” or “What are the most likely causes
of this failure signature?”

Constraints and design considerations

The assistant should run on standard lab PCs and integrate
with commonly used test equipment and data formats
without requiring major changes to existing setups.
Training data may be limited in smaller labs, so the system
should combine rule-based domain knowledge (basic
electronics test heuristics) with learning from available
data. The interface must be explainable: when the assistant
makes a recommendation, it should show which data or
rules it used so engineers can trust and validate its
suggestions.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a significant reduction in test
development and debug time, more consistent test coverage
across teams and products, and faster identification of root
causes for failing boards or components. Over time, the
assistant should help capture organizational test
knowledge, reduce dependence on a few senior experts, and
improve overall product quality and reliability by making
test processes more systematic, data-driven, and repeatable.

Develop a last-mile delivery optimization system

for urban logistics.
A last-mile delivery optimization system for urban logistics
should plan and update delivery routes so that more
packages are delivered on time with less travel distance,
fuel, and driver effort.​

Problem context
Urban last-mile delivery faces heavy traffic, narrow streets,
parking issues, and tight delivery time windows, especially
‑
for e commerce, groceries, and courier services. Manual
route planning or static routes often ignore real-time traffic,
driver constraints, and changing orders, leading to delays,
long routes, and higher costs.​

Core system idea

The system should take daily orders (addresses, time
windows, package sizes), available vehicles and drivers, and
city constraints, then automatically generate optimized
routes and schedules. It must also adapt during the day by
‑
re routing around congestion, reallocating stops when
vehicles are delayed, and updating ETAs for customers.​

Main functional requirements

Route optimization engine that considers distance, travel
time, traffic conditions, vehicle capacity, driver working
hours, and delivery time windows.

(on-time rate, distance, drops per route), and manually
adjust routes if needed.​

Design constraints and considerations

The solution must work with limited fleet sizes and mixed
vehicle types (two-wheelers, vans) common in urban
logistics, and integrate with existing order management
systems. Algorithms should run fast enough to handle same-
day and on-demand deliveries and be usable by non-
technical dispatchers through an intuitive interface.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is shorter total distance traveled and
reduced fuel costs, higher on-time delivery rates, and better
utilization of drivers and vehicles. Customers gain more
accurate ETAs and real-time tracking, while logistics
operators can handle more deliveries per day without
proportionally increasing fleet size, improving both service
quality and profitability.

Create a smart warehouse space utilization tool

using sensors and analytics.

A smart warehouse space utilization tool uses sensors plus

analytics to show how much of the warehouse is really
being used and where space is wasted.​

Problem context
Many warehouses plan layouts once and then run for years
without clear data on actual space usage. Pallet positions,
racks, and floor areas may be underused or congested,
increasing handling time and storage costs while new space
is rented or added unnecessarily.​

Core idea of the tool

The idea is to deploy low-cost sensors (for example, RFID,
weight sensors, simple occupancy or distance sensors) on
racks, shelves, and zones, and connect them to a central
software layer. This software continuously measures which
locations are occupied, how long they stay full or empty,
and how inventory moves through the warehouse.​

Main functional requirements

Real-time monitoring of rack slots, pallet positions, and
floor zones to calculate occupancy and utilization
percentages by area, rack, and SKU.

Analytics dashboards that highlight underutilized zones,

overstocked areas, and bottlenecks (e.g., aisles frequently
blocked or high picking congestion).

Recommendations for slotting and layout changes, such as

consolidating slow-moving SKUs, relocating fast movers
closer to docks, and rebalancing storage across zones to
improve space and travel efficiency.​

Design constraints and technology choices

The solution should integrate with an existing warehouse
management system where possible, using sensors and IoT
gateways to feed data into a unified view. It must work with
a mix of sensor types (RFID readers, smart shelves with
weight sensors, simple occupancy detectors) and remain
reliable in dusty, busy environments, with easy installation
and low maintenance.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is higher effective space utilization
(more pallets or SKUs stored per square meter without
adding new buildings), reduced travel distances for picking,
and better visibility into where space is being wasted. This
leads to lower storage costs, smoother operations, and data-
driven decisions about when and where expansion or re-
layout is truly needed.​

Logistics & Delivery Optimization (AI/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26051

Propose a cold chain logistics model for rural

Tamil Nadu farmers

A cold chain logistics model for rural Tamil Nadu farmers

should connect village-level collection and cooling with
reliable refrigerated transport to nearby towns and cities,
while staying affordable and farmer-centric.​

Rural context and pain points

Small and marginal farmers in rural Tamil Nadu grow
perishables like fruits, vegetables, flowers, and dairy but
have limited access to nearby cold rooms and refrigerated
transport. Without this infrastructure, they are forced into
‑
distress sales soon after harvest or face high post harvest
losses due to spoilage, especially during peak season and
hot months.​
Proposed cold chain structure
‑ ‑
The model can follow a hub and spoke approach:
decentralized, small-capacity cold rooms (5–50 MT) located
near village clusters act as spokes, linked to larger
aggregation hubs in towns like Coimbatore, Madurai, or
Chennai. Farmers or FPOs bring produce to local
‑
pre cooling and cold storage units, from where reefer vans
transport consolidated loads to urban wholesale markets,
processing units, or export centers while maintaining the
required temperature throughout the journey.​

Key components and operations

‑
Village-level infrastructure: Pre cooling units and
‑
multi commodity cold rooms with simple booking and
‑ ‑
pay per use or subscription pricing, located close enough
for farmers to reach by tractor or small vehicles.​

Refrigerated transport: A small fleet of reefer vans

scheduled on fixed routes and times, collecting from
multiple rural cold rooms and delivering to urban hubs,
following route plans that minimize empty returns.​

Coordination and digital layer: A simple mobile/IVR-based

system for farmers to book space, see truck schedules, and
receive price and demand information in nearby markets;
basic tracking of temperature, volume, and turnaround
times for operators.​

Institutional and financial aspects

The model should leverage existing government schemes
that subsidize cold chain infrastructure and promote
farmer producer organisations, so that capital cost is shared
and usage is aggregated. Operations can be run by
cooperatives, FPOs, or social enterprises based in Tamil
Nadu that bundle cold storage, logistics, and market linkage
services, with tariffs designed to be viable yet affordable for
small farmers.​
Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a significant reduction in
‑
post harvest losses for perishable crops in rural Tamil
Nadu, allowing farmers to store produce for a few days and
sell when prices are better instead of resorting to distress
sales. Farmers gain improved access to urban and
processing markets, higher and more stable incomes, and
stronger bargaining power, while the state benefits from
reduced food waste, better price realisation for rural
‑
produce, and more resilient agri supply chains.

Design a real-time supply-demand balancing

system for MSMEs.

A real-time supply–demand balancing system for MSMEs

continuously matches customer demand with available
capacity, inventory, and supplier inputs so that small firms
avoid both stockouts and overstock. It should be
lightweight, affordable, and simple enough for non-experts
to use.

Problem context
Many MSMEs still manage demand, production, and
purchasing with spreadsheets and periodic meetings, so
plans are updated only weekly or monthly. When demand
suddenly increases or a supplier is late, they either miss
customer deliveries or carry excess inventory because the
system cannot react quickly enough. This “firefighting”
mode causes frequent rescheduling, overtime, and cash tied
up in slow-moving stock.

Core system concept

The system should act as a central “control tower” that
receives live inputs on orders, forecasts, current inventory,
work-in-progress, and supplier status. It then compares
projected demand for the next days/weeks with available
stock and capacity, highlighting gaps and recommending
actions such as advancing/deferring production, expediting
purchases, or reallocating inventory between customers.
The focus is on short-term (tactical) balancing rather than
long-term strategic planning.

Main functional requirements

Integrate basic data streams: new sales orders, simple
forecasts, on-hand and WIP inventory, purchase orders, and
machine/shift capacity.

Continuously calculate projected stock levels and capacity

utilization for key items, flagging where projected demand
exceeds supply or where large surpluses will appear.

Provide recommended actions, for example: change

production sequence, increase/decrease batch sizes, pull in
or push out purchase orders, or propose alternative item
substitutions where allowed.

Offer a simple dashboard for owners/planners to see alerts

(“item A will stock out in 3 days”) and approve/reject system
suggestions, updating the plan in near real time.

Design constraints for MSMEs

The solution should work on basic infrastructure (a
standard PC plus internet) and build on tools MSMEs
already use, such as spreadsheets or entry-level
ERP/inventory software. Data entry must be minimal and
preferably automated from existing systems; configuration
should rely on simple parameters like safety stock,
minimum order quantity, and lead times. The interface
should be intuitive, with clear color-coded alerts instead of
complex analytics, so small teams can adopt it without
specialized IT staff.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a more stable, responsive
operation where MSMEs can meet customer demand with
fewer urgent shortages, lower emergency purchases, and
reduced excess inventory. Planners will spend less time
manually reconciling orders and stock, and more time
making informed decisions based on timely, consolidated
information. Over time, this leads to better service levels,
improved cash flow, and higher overall efficiency in the
small enterprise’s supply chain

Core Manufacturing & Process Optimization

Problem Statement No : TNI26053

The existing 5 MT decoiler capacity severely

constrains cost-effective material procurement
and imposes an operational bottleneck due to
frequent, time-consuming coil changeovers. This
limitation directly contributes to excessive
machine downtime and significantly reduces
overall production efficiency (OEE). The solution
requires an urgent upgrade to infrastructure
capable of handling 25 MT coils safely and
reliably.

Problem context
The current 5 MT decoiler restricts procurement to small
coils, which often carry a higher price per tonne and
require frequent changeovers. This leads to repeated
stoppages for unloading, loading, threading, and setup,
directly increasing planned and unplanned downtime at the
line’s entry point. As the decoiler feeds downstream
processes, every stoppage propagates through the line,
lowering overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and
limiting achievable throughput.

Core technical and operational problem

The plant needs to safely and reliably handle coils up to 25
MT, including loading, centering, mandrel expansion,
braking, and controlled payout, without creating new safety
risks or mechanical failures. The existing foundation, drive
power, mandrel design, and coil handling equipment
(cranes, coil cars, guides) are all sized for 5 MT and are
inadequate for the higher loads. Any solution must address
structural reinforcement, drive and control upgrades, and
ergonomic/safety requirements for operators while
integrating with the existing line speed and control
philosophy.

Required capabilities of the upgraded system

Coil handling: a decoiler, mandrel, and support structure
rated for 25 MT coils, with appropriate safety factors,
compatible inner and outer diameter range, and secure
clamping to avoid slippage.
Feeding performance: powered decoiling with smooth
speed control to match line speed, robust braking to prevent
‑
overrun, and features like hold down/snubber arms or coil
cars for safe loading and payoff.

Safety and compliance: guarding, interlocks, emergency

stops, and standard operating procedures that ensure safe
handling of 25 MT coils, including coordination with
overhead cranes or forklifts.

Operational efficiency: design and layout that minimize

changeover time, allow longer uninterrupted runs with
large coils, and reduce manual interventions, thereby
cutting decoiler-related downtime.

Constraints and design considerations

The upgraded system must fit within existing building
constraints (floor loading, pit depth, crane capacity,
approach clearances) and be compatible with current strip
width, thickness range, and line speed. Budget constraints,
installation downtime, and the need to phase work to avoid
long production shutdowns must be considered.
Maintenance access, spare parts availability, and operator
training are critical so that the new 25 MT system remains
‑ ‑
reliable in day to day operation.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a substantial reduction in decoiler-
related downtime, as larger coils allow much longer
production runs between changeovers and faster, safer
‑
handling reduces non productive time per change. This
improves OEE at the line’s entry point, supports more
‑
cost effective bulk material procurement (larger, cheaper
coils), and increases overall line throughput. Over time, the
‑
plant should see lower per tonne material cost, fewer
stoppages, smoother production scheduling, and a more
stable, predictable manufacturing flow.

Automation

Problem Statement No : TNI26054

Heavy steel fabricated columns and frames

frequently suffer from residual bend and twist
deformations, requiring slow, inconsistent, and
labor-intensive manual correction. This
dimensional non-conformance compromises the
fit-up during final assembly and creates a
significant production bottleneck. A dedicated
Special Purpose Machine (SPM) is required to
achieve high-throughput, automated, and precise
removal of these structural deformations,
ensuring consistent quality and schedule
adherence.

Background and current issues

In the existing fabrication process, heavy steel columns and
‑ ‑
frames (I beams, box sections, welded built up members)
routinely develop residual bending and twisting after
welding, flame cutting, and handling. These deformations
are currently corrected manually using cranes, chain
blocks, heating, and portable hydraulic jacks. This rework is
‑
slow, highly operator dependent, and difficult to
standardize, creating a major bottleneck between
fabrication and final assembly.
Core problem definition
‑ ‑ ‑
The dimensional non conformance (out of straightness,
‑
bow, camber, twist) often exceeds allowable limits for fit up
‑
on site or in downstream assemblies. As a result, fit up
‑ ‑
becomes difficult, extra time is spent in trial and error
correction, and there is a higher risk of rejection or rework
at a late stage. The core engineering problem is to design a
Special Purpose Machine (SPM) that can automatically and
precisely straighten heavy fabricated members along their
length and remove twist within specified tolerances, with
minimal manual intervention.

Functional requirements for the SPM

‑
Capability to accept a range of section sizes (e.g., H/I beams,
‑
box sections, built up girders) over a defined length, width,
thickness, and weight range.

Measurement and control: ability to measure incoming

bend and twist (manually or with sensors) and apply
controlled corrective forces via hydraulic presses/rollers in
one or more axes.

Automated straightening cycle: programmable sequences of

pressing/rolling operations along the length of the member
to bring it within specified straightness and twist tolerances.

Safe handling and support of heavy members using rollers,

conveyors, or powered beds, with proper clamping and
alignment to prevent accidents and damage.

Operator interface for setting section type, target tolerances,

and cycle parameters, with minimal skill requirement and
repeatable results.

Constraints and design considerations

The SPM must fit within the available shop space and
integrate with existing crane/roller bed logistics. It must be
structurally robust to handle high straightening forces,
ensure operator safety (guards, interlocks, emergency
stops), and allow access for maintenance. Cycle time per
component should be significantly lower and more
consistent than manual methods, while avoiding damage to
welds or local buckling. The design should consider cost,
manufacturability with locally available components, and
ease of calibration and setup for different section profiles.

Expected outcome
‑
The expected outcome is a high throughput, automated
straightening process that consistently delivers columns
and frames within dimensional tolerances, with minimal
manual rework. This will:

Eliminate the current bottleneck caused by slow, manual

straightening.

Improve overall production flow and schedule adherence

by making straightening time predictable.

‑ ‑
Enhance fit up quality in final assembly, reducing on site
adjustments and rework.

Lower dependence on highly skilled manual straightening

operators and improve workplace safety by reducing
‑
ad hoc handling and jacking operations.

 Core Manufacturing & Process Optimization

Problem Statement No : TNI26055

The open or fixed-location shot blasting and

painting of large fabricated structurals lead to
significant environmental pollution, worker
safety risks, and scheduling inflexibility. This
uncontained process often results in inconsistent
surface preparation and poor coating quality. The
primary need is a dedicated, environmentally
friendly mobile booth system to fully enclose
these operations, guaranteeing high process
quality and regulatory compliance.

Background and current challenges

Large fabricated beams, columns, and frames are currently
blasted and painted in open yards or fixed, partially
enclosed areas. Abrasive media, dust, and paint overspray
escape into the surrounding environment, causing air and
soil pollution and making it harder to comply with
tightening environmental norms. Workers are exposed to
high levels of dust, noise, and solvent fumes, even when
using PPE, leading to safety and health risks and frequent
localised housekeeping issues around the work zone.

Core problem definition

Because the process is open and uncontained, surface
preparation quality (profile, cleanliness) and coating
thickness are highly variable and heavily operator-
dependent. Weather conditions (wind, rain, temperature)
and yard congestion further affect consistency, often
causing rework and coating failures. Scheduling is
inflexible: structural members must wait for suitable
weather and free space, making blasting and painting a
major bottleneck in the overall fabrication flow. The
primary engineering problem is to design a dedicated,
mobile, fully enclosed booth system that can house both
shot blasting and painting operations for large structurals
while controlling dust, overspray, and airflow.

Functional requirements for the mobile booth system

Full enclosure sized for typical structural members (length,
width, height, and lifting arrangement), with modular or
telescopic sections so the booth can be moved or retracted
when not in use.

Integrated shot blasting area with abrasive containment,

floor/media recovery, filtration, and dust collection to
prevent emission of dust and grit.

Dedicated painting zone or convertible mode with

controlled airflow (crossflow or downdraft), overspray
capture filters, and suitable lighting to ensure uniform
coating.

Ventilation and environmental controls designed to meet

relevant exposure limits and emission standards, including
safe handling of solvents and VOCs.

Easy access for cranes or trolleys, safe operator walkways,

interlocks, and controls to prevent blasting and painting
when doors are open or extraction is off.

Design constraints and practical considerations

The system must be robust enough for an outdoor industrial
environment, yet mobile or reconfigurable so it can be
relocated within the yard as layout and project needs
change. It should accommodate a range of structural sizes
and geometries without complex changeovers and be
compatible with existing material handling equipment.
Energy consumption, filter and media maintenance, and
cleaning procedures must be manageable for the
fabrication shop’s staff, with clear SOPs for mode change
between blasting and painting. Initial cost needs to be
justified through savings in rework, improved throughput,
and easier regulatory compliance.

AI & Analytics: Business Strategy & Pricing

Problem Statement No : TNI26056

Manual proposal generation is inefficient and

inconsistent, failing to leverage 15 years of
invaluable project data on costs, timelines, and
outcomes. This results in inaccurate scoping,
suboptimal pricing, and reduced win rates across
bids. An urgent AI-based solution is required to
analyze this historical data, automate the drafting
of accurate and competitive proposals, and
ensure speed and standardization in the bidding
process.

Background and current pain points

Proposal teams currently draft bids largely from scratch,
relying on individual memory and scattered documents
rather than systematically using past project information.
This leads to wide variation in how scope, effort, timelines,
and costs are estimated for similar jobs, and makes the
process slow and heavily dependent on a few experienced
individuals.

Core problem definition

Despite having 15 years of historical data on project costs,
durations, risk events, and outcomes, this knowledge is not
being mined to support new bids. As a result, proposals
often suffer from:

Inaccurate scoping (missing activities, under/over

estimating complexity).

Suboptimal pricing (either leaving margin on the table or

underquoting and eroding profitability).

Inconsistent language, structure, and value articulation

across submissions, which weakens the perceived
professionalism and reduces win rates.

The core need is an AI-based system that can learn from

historical bids and executed projects to auto-generate first-
draft proposals that are accurate, consistent, and
competitive.

Functional requirements for the AI solution

Ingest and structure historical data: past proposals,
contracts, BOQs, cost breakdowns, actual hours and costs,
change orders, and project outcomes.

Support scoping: suggest work breakdown structures,

deliverables, and risk items based on similarity to past
projects and current client requirements.

Assist costing and pricing: propose cost and duration

estimates, highlight assumptions, and recommend price
bands or options calibrated to historical performance and
target margins.

Generate draft documents: automatically create proposal

narratives, technical approaches, and commercial sections
following approved templates and branding, ready for
human review and customization.
Provide explanation and control: clearly show which past
projects and data points influenced the AI’s
recommendations so bid managers can validate and adjust.

Constraints and design considerations

The system must respect data security and confidentiality,
enforce role-based access, and keep sensitive client/project
data within the organisation’s boundaries. It should
integrate with existing document repositories and CRM/ERP
systems, and fit into current approval workflows so that
humans remain in control of final content and
commitments. The interface must be usable by non-
technical sales and proposal staff, with simple ways to
refine, override, and lock sections of the generated
proposals.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a step-change improvement in
proposal speed, quality, and competitiveness:

Proposal cycle times are significantly reduced because

teams start from AI-generated, data-driven drafts instead of
blank documents.

Scoping and pricing become more accurate and consistent,

based on patterns from 15 years of real project experience,
improving both win rates and project profitability.

Proposal quality and branding become more standardised,

while expert knowledge is captured and reused across the
organisation, reducing dependence on a few senior
individuals and improving overall bidding performance.

AI & GenAI: Data & Documentation Automation

Problem Statement No : TNI26057

The manual conversion of critical engineering

and dimensional data from Excel spreadsheets
into 2D/3D AutoCAD drawings is slow, highly
prone to human error, and constitutes a major
engineering bottleneck. This repetitive data entry
delays design delivery and increases revision
costs. The solution requires a robust, automated
application or script to directly interpret
structured Excel data and generate accurate,
standardized AutoCAD drawings on demand.

Background and current challenge

Critical engineering and dimensional information is
currently maintained in structured Excel sheets (sizes,
coordinates, hole patterns, part lists, tolerances, etc.) and
‑
then manually retyped or copy pasted into CATIA /
3DEXPERIENCE to create 2D drawings and 3D models. Each
drawing requires repetitive data entry and manual feature
creation, which is slow, tedious, and heavily dependent on
the individual designer’s care and speed. This manual
workflow has become a major bottleneck in the engineering
department.

Core problem definition

The manual transfer of data from Excel to CAD introduces
frequent human errors (wrong dimensions, missed
features, typo in coordinates), which are often discovered
late in the design–manufacturing chain and trigger costly
revisions. As project volumes grow, design lead times are
 ‑ ‑
increasingly dominated by this non value adding drafting
work rather than actual engineering decisions. The core
problem is to develop a robust automation solution that can
read standardized Excel inputs and automatically generate
parametric 2D/3D CATIA / 3DEXPERIENCE models and
drawings on demand, with minimal manual intervention.

Functional requirements for the automation solution

Input structure: define a clear, standardized Excel template
(or set of templates) describing geometry, features,
configurations, and metadata (part numbers, material,
revision) in a machine-readable format.

CAD generation: automatically create or update CATIA parts

and assemblies (3D) and associated 2D drawing sheets
based on this Excel input, including dimensions,
annotations, title block fields, and views driven by
predefined templates.

Parametric and reusable templates: use parametric CATIA /

3DEXPERIENCE templates or power copies / user features,
where the automation layer only needs to bind parameters
and instance counts to Excel values rather than “drawing
from scratch” each time.

Error handling and validation: perform basic checks

(missing fields, out-of-range values, logical inconsistencies)
before CAD generation and provide clear error logs or
prompts back to the user instead of silently creating invalid
models.

Batch and on-demand operation: support both single-part

on-demand generation and batch mode (e.g., generate all
variants in a project from one Excel file).

Technical and organizational constraints

The solution must work within the company’s existing
CATIA / 3DEXPERIENCE environment, using supported
automation interfaces (e.g., CATIA macros, VB/Python
scripts via APIs, or platform scripting tools) without
compromising CAD data integrity or PLM rules. It must
respect CAD standards (naming, layers, drafting standards,
title blocks) and be maintainable when templates or
standards change. User interaction should remain simple:
engineers should be able to trigger generation from a
controlled interface (button, script, or small app) without
deep programming knowledge, and IT/CAD admins should
be able to update templates and scripts when requirements
evolve.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a significant reduction in
engineering lead time and rework by eliminating repetitive
manual data entry between Excel and CATIA /
3DEXPERIENCE. Drawings and models generated from
standardized templates will be more consistent, with fewer
dimensional errors and missing features, directly reducing
downstream revision cycles and manufacturing issues.
Engineers will be able to focus more on design decisions
and less on routine drafting, while the organization benefits
from faster design delivery, improved quality, better
standardization across projects, and more effective reuse of
structured engineering data.

Core Manufacturing & Process Optimization

Problem Statement No : TNI26058

The existing fabrication setup relies on disparate,

inflexible machines or slow manual intervention
for the cutting and punching of varied stock
(angles, rods, and sheets). This lack of integrated,
customized tooling results in excessive material
repositioning, complex setup changes, and non-
optimized cycle times. The core problem is the
urgent need to develop a single, customizable
system to streamline precision cutting and
punching across all material shapes.

Background and current challenges

The current fabrication line uses separate, inflexible
machines and manual methods to cut and punch angles,
rods, and sheets. Each material type often needs a different
machine or tooling, so operators spend a lot of time
‑
repositioning stock, changing setups, and re measuring
‑
before every operation. This leads to long non productive
times, operator fatigue, and inconsistent dimensional
accuracy across parts.

Core problem definition

Because cutting and punching are not integrated, the same
job passes through multiple stations, with repeated
clamping, referencing, and manual marking. This
‑
fragmented workflow produces non optimized cycle times,
higher material handling effort, and greater risk of errors
(wrong hole positions, incorrect lengths, mixed-up parts).
The core engineering problem is to design a single,
customizable system that can perform both precision
cutting and punching on different stock shapes (angles,
rods, flats, and sheets) with minimal repositioning and
quick changeover of tooling.

Functional requirements for the integrated system

Handle multiple stock types and sizes: angles (various leg
sizes), round/square rods, flats, and standard sheet/strip
sizes, with appropriate clamping and support.

Combine operations: perform accurate length cutting and

programmable punching patterns (hole positions, sizes,
slots) in one setup wherever possible, using NC/CNC control.

Provide quick, modular tooling: interchangeable dies and

cutting tools that can be changed rapidly to suit different
‑
profiles and thicknesses without complex re alignment.

Include measurement and positioning: integrated length

stops, servo/NC feeders, or positioning systems to eliminate
manual marking and ensure repeatable accuracy.

Offer a user-friendly interface: simple recipe/program

selection for common part types so operators can switch
jobs with minimal manual data entry.

Design constraints and practical considerations

The system must fit within existing shop space and be
rugged enough for continuous industrial use. It should be
economically viable for an MSME/SME environment,
prioritizing robust, maintainable mechanisms and controls
over highly complex, expensive solutions. Safety features
‑
(guards, interlocks, two hand controls where needed) are
essential due to combined cutting and punching forces. The
design should also consider scrap minimization, easy access
for maintenance, and compatibility with existing upstream
(raw stock racks) and downstream (bins, pallets) material
handling.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a single, integrated Special
Purpose Machine that streamlines cutting and punching
operations across all relevant stock shapes, drastically
reducing material repositioning and setup times. This will:
Shorten overall cycle time per part, increasing throughput
and freeing operator capacity.

Improve dimensional and positional accuracy by reducing

‑
manual marking and multiple re clamping steps.

Simplify planning and training, since one flexible system

can replace several disparate machines and manual
stations.

Lower total operating cost and improve delivery reliability

by removing a key fabrication bottleneck and standardizing
processes.

Specialized Product Industrialization (Drone)

Problem Statement No : TNI26059

Medical drones The 5kg payload Medical Drone

project requires urgent industrialization, facing a
critical gap in complete engineering, compliance,
and strategic documentation necessary for
market entry. The problem is the current absence
of final 3D/2D models, accurate M/E-BOMs,
Quality/Reliability manuals, and a clear
regulatory pathway to achieve DGCA/MOCA Type
Certification and establish a robust, locally-
sourced supply chain. The solution must deliver
all required technical assets and comparative
market data to ensure successful, scalable, and
compliant product deployment.

Background and current gaps

A 5 kg payload medical drone platform has been prototyped
to serve applications such as urgent medicine, blood, and
diagnostic sample delivery in difficult-to-reach areas.
‑
However, the project is currently stuck in a pre industrial
phase: engineering artifacts are fragmented or incomplete,
and there is no consolidated documentation set that would
‑
support manufacturing scale up, quality assurance, or
regulatory approvals in India. At the same time, India’s
Drone Rules 2021 and related healthcare guidance (ICMR,
DGCA, MoCA) now provide a clearer pathway for certified
medical drone operations, which the project is not yet
prepared to follow.​

Core problem definition

The core problem is the absence of a complete, certifiable
“product definition package” for the 5 kg medical drone.
Critical elements such as frozen 3D/2D design models,
validated mechanical and electrical bills of materials
‑ ‑
(M BOM / E BOM), qualification test plans, and
quality/reliability manuals are not yet formalized. In
parallel, there is no documented regulatory strategy or gap
analysis to progress from a prototype to a DGCA/MOCA
‑
Type Certified RPAS suitable for routine medical logistics
under Indian rules. Without these, it is impossible to
industrialize the system, onboard suppliers, or approach
hospitals and governments with a credible, compliant
product.​

Required technical and documentation deliverables

The solution must therefore deliver a complete, coherent set
of technical and process assets, including:

Finalized 3D CAD assemblies and 2D drawings for all

structural, propulsion, payload, and ground support
subsystems, incorporating design-for-manufacture and
design-for-maintenance considerations.

‑
Fully itemized and version-controlled M BOM and E BOM, ‑
with qualified part specifications, alternates, and clear
decomposition by build level (airframe, avionics,
propulsion, payload module, GCS, etc.).

Quality and reliability documentation: incoming inspection

‑
plans, in process checks, final acceptance tests,
environmental and endurance test protocols, and field
maintenance guidelines tailored to medical use.

A regulatory and safety package: initial compliance matrix

against Drone Rules 2021 and relevant guidance for
healthcare drone delivery, identification of required tests
‑
and evidence for Type Certification, and high level concept
of operations (CONOPS) covering routes, payload types, and
safety mitigations.​

Supply chain and market intelligence needs

To support scalable deployment and localization, the project
must also map a robust, largely domestic supply chain for
critical components (airframe materials, motors, ESCs,
batteries, flight controllers, comms, ground systems) with
dual sourcing where feasible. Parallel to this, comparative
market data on existing medical drone offerings—payload,
range, regulatory status, cost per flight, and operating
concepts—must be compiled to benchmark performance
targets and operating cost, and to position the 5 kg platform
competitively in the Indian healthcare logistics ecosystem.​

Expected outcome
‑
The expected outcome is a fully industrialization ready 5 kg
medical drone product with:
Frozen and documented 3D/2D designs plus accurate

Supply Chain Resilience & Data Integration

Problem Statement No : TNI26060

Current delivery confirmation lacks trust and

tamper-proof auditing, creating disputes and
liability risks. Solution: Design a secure,
immutable Blockchain framework to record Proof
of Delivery (PoD) data across all logistics
stakeholders.

A blockchain-based Proof of Delivery (PoD) framework

‑
should create a single, tamper proof “source of truth” for
every delivery event shared by all logistics stakeholders.​

Problem context
Today’s PoD relies on paper slips, siloed apps, and editable
databases, so delivery time, recipient identity, condition of
goods, and exceptions can be disputed or altered after the
fact. This lack of trusted, auditable records leads to frequent
arguments over lost/delayed shipments, chargebacks, and
unclear liability between shippers, 3PLs, and customers.​

Core system concept

The solution is to record key PoD events (out-for-delivery,
arrival, handover, exceptions) as signed transactions on a
distributed ledger shared among shippers, carriers, and
consignees. Each delivery has a unique ID, and its PoD
record includes timestamps, GPS location, recipient
confirmation (signature/OTP/biometric), and optional
photos, all hashed and anchored immutably so no party can
unilaterally change history.​

Functional requirements
Identity and access: onboard verified organisations
(shippers, carriers, hubs) and delivery agents with
cryptographic identities; link customer identities or tokens
to orders.​

PoD transaction model: define a standard schema

containing shipment ID, order ID, geolocation, time,
recipient confirmation method, condition notes, and media
‑ ‑
hashes stored off chain with on chain references.​

Smart contracts: enforce business rules such as “PoD

accepted only if delivered within time window at expected
geofence and signed by an authorised recipient,” and
trigger downstream actions like automatic status closure or
payment release.​

Integration: expose APIs/webhooks so existing

‑
TMS/WMS/last mile apps can push events to the ledger and
‑
read consolidated status without changing all front end
systems.​

Design and technology choices

A permissioned (consortium) blockchain is suitable so only
vetted logistics and shipper nodes participate, improving
performance and privacy vs. open public chains. Off chain ‑
‑
storage (for images and large documents) with on chain
hashes balances scalability and auditability, while
‑
role based access and encryption protect sensitive customer
data.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a secure PoD layer where all
parties see the same immutable delivery record, drastically
reducing disputes and fraud over “not delivered” or
‑
“damaged” claims. Liability and root cause analysis become
clearer, administrative costs fall, and automated settlement
via smart contracts shortens cash cycles and boosts trust
across the logistics network

 Safety, Security & Robotics

Problem Statement No : TNI26061

Cargo theft remains a significant financial risk

due to inadequate real-time security monitoring
in transit and storage. Solution: Develop a
resilient, low-power IoT sensor network and
anomaly detection system to provide immediate,
actionable alerts on unauthorized access or
movement.

Problem context
Cargo theft often happens during transit stops, overnight
parking, or in poorly supervised yards, where locks and
seals can be tampered with without anyone noticing in real
time. Conventional GPS-only trackers or periodic check-ins
are not enough to detect events like door openings, load
tampering, or unplanned unloading, leading to delayed
discovery and high financial losses.​

Sensing and hardware concept

‑
The solution is a network of low power IoT devices attached
to containers, trailers, or pallets, combining multiple
sensors such as:

Door/lock status and light sensors to detect openings or

tampering.

Accelerometers and tilt/impact sensors to detect abnormal

movement, shocks, or attempts to remove cargo.

GPS or network-based positioning plus optional geofencing

to flag deviations from approved routes or stops.​

‑ ‑
These devices should use low power wide area technologies
‑ ‑
(e.g., LoRaWAN, NB IoT, LTE M) and optimized duty cycles
so they can operate for weeks or months on battery while
still providing timely alerts.​

Analytics and anomaly detection layer

Sensor data streams into a secure cloud or control center,
where rules and AI models detect anomalies against
expected behavior, such as door openings outside allowed
geofences or time windows, long unplanned stops, or
unusual vibrations or temperature spikes. The system then
pushes immediate alerts to fleet managers or security teams
via dashboards, SMS/app notifications, and can integrate
with law-enforcement or local response protocols for rapid
intervention.​

Design considerations
‑
Devices must be rugged, tamper evident, and easy to mount
and reuse across shipments without complex installation.
The overall architecture should minimize data usage and
power consumption while still capturing enough detail for
reliable anomaly detection, and must integrate with existing
TMS/WMS platforms so operations teams see security
events alongside normal tracking information.

Logistics & Delivery Optimization (AI/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26062

Achieving Green Delivery goals is complicated by

a lack of customer incentives and automated
scheduling for sustainable options. Solution:
Engineer a dynamic delivery clubbing and off-
peak scheduling algorithm that presents
environmental choices to customers and
optimizes fleet routing.

Problem context
Today, most customers see only “fastest” or “cheapest”
delivery options, not “green” choices like clubbed deliveries,
‑
off-peak slots, or slower low emission routes. Internally,
planning tools still optimize mainly for cost and service
‑
level, so vehicles run half loaded, make many individual
trips, and operate at congestion peaks, leading to higher fuel
use and emissions. Without clear incentives and
automation, neither customers nor planners consistently
choose sustainable options.

Core problem definition

The core engineering problem is to design a dynamic
scheduling and routing system that:

Presents customers with environmentally graded delivery

options (e.g., “green clubbed delivery tomorrow evening” vs
“express today”) at checkout, and

Optimizes fleet routing by intelligently clubbing orders in

‑
space and time and shifting eligible deliveries to off peak,
‑
low congestion windows.

The algorithm must balance environmental impact, cost,

and promised delivery times while respecting vehicle
capacities and operating constraints.

Functional requirements for the algorithm and system

Customer choice engine: compute, in real time at checkout,
a small set of delivery options that differ in delivery
window, price/incentive (discount, loyalty points), and
estimated carbon footprint, clearly indicating the “green”
option.

Dynamic clubbing: group orders by area, route, and

compatible time windows to create consolidated tours with
high vehicle fill, while avoiding missed SLAs.

‑
Off peak scheduling: preferentially schedule green-option
orders into time windows with lower traffic or where
electric / low-emission vehicles are available, using
congestion and fleet-availability data.

Multi-objective routing: generate routes that minimize a

weighted combination of distance, cost, and emissions (e.g.,
preferring shorter, less congested paths and assigning
deliveries to cleaner vehicles where possible).

Feedback loop: track acceptance rates of green options and

actual emissions per route, and use this data to tune
incentives and algorithm weights over time.

Design constraints and practical considerations

The solution must integrate with existing order, inventory,
and fleet management systems and operate with realistic
‑ ‑
computational limits for same day or next day planning. It
should handle uncertainties in demand, traffic, and
cancellations, and remain understandable to planners (e.g.,
₂
via clear KPIs like load factor and CO per package).
Customer communication must be simple and trustworthy,
avoiding “greenwashing” by tying displayed benefits to real
route and vehicle choices.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a delivery system where a
meaningful share of customers voluntarily select greener
options, enabling higher stop density and better vehicle
utilization. Fleet operations shift a portion of volume to
‑ ‑
off peak, lower congestion periods, reducing average
distance and idle time per stop. Overall, the business
achieves lower emissions per parcel and reduced operating
costs, while being able to demonstrate quantified green-
delivery performance to customers and regulators.

AI & Analytics: Business Strategy & Pricing

Problem Statement No : TNI26063

Quoting is manually intensive and Quoting is

manually intensive and inconsistent, failing to
utilize historical data for dynamic, competitive
pricing structures. Solution: Build a predictive ML
model that accurately forecasts optimal shipping
prices based on dimensional weight, product
category, and real-time market variables., failing
to utilize historical data for dynamic, competitive
pricing structures.

Background and current challenge

Current shipping quotes are generated manually using
rough thumb rules, static rate cards, or individual
experience, without systematically learning from past
shipments. This approach is slow and inconsistent, and it
does not fully exploit historical data on dimensional weight,
product category, lanes, service levels, and win/loss
outcomes. As a result, quotes can be too high (losing
business) or too low (eroding margin), and pricing strategies
are hard to standardize across sales teams.
Core problem definition
The core problem is the absence of a data-driven, predictive
pricing engine that can recommend optimal shipping prices
for new enquiries. The desired solution is a supervised ML
model that uses historical shipment records—dimensional
weight and size, product category, origin–destination,
service type, seasonality, carrier costs, and past
accepted/rejected quotes—to forecast a competitive yet
profitable price in real time. This model should support
dynamic pricing, adjusting to changing costs and demand
instead of relying on static tables.

Functional requirements for the ML solution

Data foundation: consolidate and clean historical shipment
data, including base costs, surcharges, actual prices
charged, margins, and whether the quote was won or lost.

Feature set: incorporate dimensional weight and volume,

product category/risk profile, lane distance and direction,
service level (standard/express), time of year, fuel/index
variables, and customer segment or contract status.

Model behaviour: predict either (a) the recommended

shipping price or price band that meets target margin, or (b)
the probability of winning at different price points,
enabling trade-offs between win rate and margin.

Integration into quoting: expose the model through a simple

UI or API so that when a sales rep enters shipment details,
the system returns a recommended price, a confidence
band, and key drivers (e.g., lane, product type, seasonality)
to keep the process explainable.

Governance: allow business rules and overrides (minimum

price floors, strategic discounts, key-account rules) to be
layered on top of the model’s raw output.
Constraints and design considerations
The model must handle noisy, incomplete historical data
and be robust to changing market conditions (fuel, carrier
rate changes), with periodic retraining. It should run
quickly enough to support interactive quoting and be
transparent enough that sales and finance teams trust the
recommendations. Data security and access control are
essential to protect customer and cost information, and the
system should be deployable on existing infrastructure or a
compatible cloud environment.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a quoting process that is faster,
more consistent, and more competitive:

Quote turnaround time drops because sales teams receive

instant, data-driven price recommendations instead of
manually searching for analogues.

Pricing accuracy improves, with higher win rates on

targeted lanes and customers while preserving or
improving average margin per shipment.

Historical data is transformed into a strategic asset,

enabling ongoing analytics on lane profitability, customer
behaviour, and the impact of pricing decisions, and
supporting continuous refinement of the company’s pricing
strategy.

Financial & Operations Management (FinOps)

Problem Statement No : TNI26064

Departmental spending lacks real-time visibility

and granular accountability across large-scale
public and private operations. Solution: Design a
scalable, process-driven FinOps platform utilizing
smart contracts or granular data lakes to track,
optimize, and attribute expenditures
transparently.

Problem context
Large public and private organisations often have
fragmented financial systems, project codes, and approval
workflows, so visibility into “who is spending what, where,
and why” is delayed or incomplete. Budgets leak through
shadow IT, duplicated tools, and poorly tagged expenses,
making it difficult to enforce accountability, benchmark
cost-to-value, or respond quickly when spend patterns
change.​

Core solution concept

The proposed system is a scalable FinOps platform that
centralises transaction and commitment data into a
granular data lake, with spend tagged by department,
project, cost centre, and business owner. On top of this,
smart-contract-like workflows or rule engines automatically
enforce spend policies (caps, approvals, chargebacks) and
generate audit-ready trails so that all stakeholders share a
consistent, near real-time view of consumption and cost.​

Functional requirements
Unified data ingestion from ERP, procurement, travel,
cloud/SaaS, and card feeds into a normalized, highly tagged
data lake.

Real-time dashboards and drill-downs showing spend by

department, project, vendor, and unit metrics (e.g., cost per
user, per transaction) to support FinOps “inform–optimize–
operate” practices.​

Policy automation using rules or smart contracts that:

validate tags, check budgets, route approvals, and log
exceptions, creating an immutable trail of who approved
which spend under what conditions.​

Optimization support: anomaly detection, rightsizing

recommendations, vendor benchmarking, and alerts on
budget overruns or unusual usage patterns.​

Design and governance considerations

The platform must handle large, heterogeneous datasets
while respecting privacy and regulatory requirements (e.g.,
for public-sector transparency or sensitive vendor
contracts). Role-based access should allow executives,
finance, and departmental owners to see appropriate detail,
with clear tagging standards and training so data quality
stays high. For blockchain or smart-contract components, a
permissioned, enterprise-grade approach is needed to
balance transparency, performance, and governance.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a real-time, transparent view of
departmental and project-level spending, with clear
attribution and automated enforcement of financial
policies. Organisations gain higher accountability, lower
waste and shadow spend, and better negotiation power
with vendors, while decision-makers can tie financial
metrics directly to business value and operational
performance, embodying FinOps principles at scale.

Safety, Security & Robotics

Problem Statement No : TNI26065

Critical high-risk tasks, like cargo handling, pose

significant safety hazards and ergonomic strain
for human workers. Solution: Develop a
specialized, autonomous robotics solution to
automate hazardous material handling and
physically demanding tasks, enhancing safety and
efficiency.

Problem context
Manual handling of heavy pallets, containers, and
hazardous materials exposes workers to crush injuries,
falls, and chronic musculoskeletal strain. In busy terminals
and warehouses, humans working near forklifts and cranes
face collision and pinch hazards, while repetitive lifting and
‑
awkward postures lead to long term ergonomic issues. This
also creates variability in speed and quality, as work pace
depends on human endurance and experience.

Core solution concept

The goal is to develop an autonomous robotics system—
primarily based on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
and/or robotic manipulators—that can take over dangerous
and physically demanding cargo handling tasks. These
robots should navigate safely in mixed human–machine
environments, automatically pick up and place loads, and
handle hazardous or sensitive materials using specialized
grippers and containment fixtures, while following
predefined operating zones and safety rules.​

Functional requirements
‑
Mobility and navigation: self driving platforms capable of
operating in warehouses, yards, and loading bays with
obstacle detection, safe stopping distances, and dynamic
path planning.

Payload handling: lifting and transporting defined payloads

(e.g., pallets, containers, drums) with appropriate
attachments such as forks, clamps, or custom grippers,
including position feedback to ensure secure engagement.

Task orchestration: integration with warehouse/terminal

management systems so robots receive jobs (pick from
‑
location A, deliver to B), prioritize high risk or heavy tasks,
and coordinate with human workflows and other robots.​

‑
Safety and compliance: multi layer safety including speed
limits in shared zones, proximity sensors, emergency stop
interfaces, and clear status indication to nearby workers,
aligned with relevant safety standards for mobile robotics.

Design constraints and considerations

‑
The system must be robust to real world conditions:
variable lighting, cluttered aisles, uneven surfaces, and
outdoor transitions where applicable. Battery life and
charging strategy should support long shifts with minimal
downtime, and the HMI must be simple enough that
operators and supervisors can assign tasks, monitor status,
and intervene without advanced robotics expertise.
‑
Solutions should be modular so different end effectors and
safety envelopes can be configured for hazardous versus
‑
non hazardous cargo.​
Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a measurable reduction in
recordable safety incidents and ergonomic injuries related
to cargo handling, as robots assume the most hazardous
and physically demanding tasks. Operations gain more
consistent throughput and reduced unplanned downtime,
since robotic systems can work with stable cycle times and
‑
less fatigue related variability, while human workers move
‑
to monitoring, exception handling, and value added tasks in
a safer environment.

Public Health Diagnostics (Zoonotic)

Problem Statement No : TNI26066

Early detection of zoonotic diseases like rabies

relies on slow, subjective observation, delaying
public health interventions. Solution: Create an AI
system using edge computing and multi-modal
sensory data (video/audio) to analyze animal
behavior for pre-clinical signs of rabies.

Problem context
Rabies in dogs and other animals is often recognized only
after obvious neurological signs appear (aggression,
paralysis, abnormal gait), by which time transmission risk
to humans and other animals is already high. Traditional
detection depends on intermittent human observation and
clinical suspicion, which is inconsistent and especially weak
 ‑ ‑
for free roaming animals in rural or peri urban settings.
Early behavioral and vocal changes are subtle and easily
missed without systematic monitoring.

Core solution concept

‑
The solution is to deploy low power edge devices (e.g.,
camera and microphone units on poles, shelters, or
vehicles) that continuously capture video and audio of
‑
target animal populations and run on device AI models to
flag abnormal behavior patterns. These models would
analyze posture, gait, movement trajectories, social
interaction (e.g., unprovoked aggression, unusual isolation),
and vocalization changes (barking/growling patterns) that
may precede clear clinical rabies signs, producing risk
scores per animal or area. Only compressed features, alerts,
and short evidence clips need to be sent to the cloud,
preserving bandwidth and enabling operation in
‑
low connectivity regions.

Functional requirements
‑
Multi modal sensing: synchronized video and audio
streams with enough resolution and frame rate to capture
fine movement (staggering, circling, hyperactivity) and
sound features (frequency, intensity, pattern) without
constant human oversight.

‑
On device inference: lightweight deep learning models (e.g.,
CNNs for spatial features and temporal models for motion
and sound sequences) optimized to run at the edge on
embedded hardware, with low power draw and robust
performance under varying lighting and noise.

Behavioral classifiers: trained algorithms that distinguish

normal behaviors (rest, play, feeding, territorial barking)
‑
from patterns associated with pre clinical rabies, taking
into account context like time of day, environment, and
interaction with other animals.
Alerting and integration: a backend that aggregates risk
scores to generate prioritized alerts for veterinarians and
‑
public health teams, with map views of high risk zones and
tools to schedule targeted vaccination or capture
campaigns.

Design and deployment considerations

‑
The system must handle noisy, real world conditions:
variable lighting, occlusions, multiple animals in view, and
background sounds such as traffic or people. Data collection
and labeling will require collaboration with veterinary and
epidemiology experts to build validated datasets of rabid vs
‑
non rabid animal behavior. Privacy and ethics must be
considered, especially if cameras capture human activity;
data retention policies and anonymization procedures are
‑
essential. Devices should be rugged, solar powered or
‑
battery backed where grid power is unreliable, and simple
to maintain by local field teams.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is earlier, more systematic detection
of animals likely to be rabid, enabling faster, targeted
interventions such as ring vaccination, animal capture, and
focused community warnings. This should reduce the time
between the onset of infectious behavior and public health
response, lowering transmission risk to humans and other
animals and improving the efficiency of limited surveillance
‑
resources by prioritizing attention to high risk locations
and cases.

Logistics & Delivery Optimization (AI/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26067

Unforeseen delays caused by external factors lead

to poor customer communication and inefficient
resource reallocation. Solution: Build an AI-
driven predictive model that uses real-time
traffic, weather feeds, and warehouse metrics to
forecast potential delivery delays with high
accuracy.

Problem context
External disruptions like traffic jams, accidents, storms, and
port or warehouse congestion routinely push deliveries past
their promised times, but current systems typically detect
trouble only after a driver is already late. Customer
communication becomes reactive and vague, while
dispatchers and warehouse planners lack timely signals to
reshuffle routes, docks, or labor, leading to both poor
service and inefficient operations.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a supervised ML model that continuously
ingests live and historical data—route plans, GPS traces,
traffic and weather feeds, and warehouse/terminal metrics
—and outputs, for each shipment or stop, both the
probability of delay and an estimated delay duration. As
new data arrives (e.g., sudden slowdown on a highway
segment, storm alert, unexpected queue at a dock), the
model updates its prediction so control towers and
customer-facing systems always see current risk.​

Functional requirements
Data inputs
Historical: past actual vs planned delivery times by lane,
time of day, carrier, driver, and weather/traffic conditions.​

Real-time: GPS location and speed vs planned schedule,

‑ ‑
third party or in house traffic data, weather forecasts and
alerts, and warehouse KPIs such as dock occupancy,
pick/pack backlog, and cut-off adherence.​

Model outputs and usage

‑
Per-shipment probability of on time vs delayed, with a
predicted delay range (e.g., 20–30 minutes) and key
contributing factors (traffic, weather, internal congestion)
for explainability.​

APIs/events feeding into TMS/WMS/OMS so that:

Customers automatically receive updated ETAs and

proactive “likely delay” notifications.

‑
Planning tools can trigger re optimization (rerouting,
resequencing of stops, alternative hub selection) when risk
crosses set thresholds.​

Design considerations
Models can use tree-based ensembles or neural networks,
tuned and periodically retrained as conditions change and
more labeled delay data accumulates. Latency must be low
enough for near real-time decision-making, which may
require a streaming architecture and, where helpful,
lightweight edge components close to vehicles or depots.
Governance is needed around data quality, feature drift,
and fairness across carriers or regions, and predictions
should be surfaced with confidence intervals so planners
can judge when to intervene.​
Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a substantial improvement in
‑
on time performance and customer experience, driven by:

‑
Earlier and more accurate identification of at risk
deliveries, enabling timely rerouting, load swaps, or
schedule adjustments.​

Proactive, transparent customer communication with

‑
realistic ETAs instead of last minute surprises, increasing
trust and satisfaction.​

More efficient use of fleet and warehouse resources, as

predictive insights reduce unplanned waiting, overtime,
and emergency measures, and help transform operations

from reactive firefighting to data driven planning.

Industrial IoT & Smart Monitoring

Problem Statement No : TNI26068

Critical physical infrastructure is vulnerable to

undetected anomalies, intrusions, or failures
resulting in costly downtime. Solution: Develop an
IoT-enabled supervisory system using embedded
sensors and machine learning to continuously
monitor asset health and physical security in real-
time.
Problem context
Today many assets are watched via periodic manual rounds
‑
or basic alarms (over temperature, simple intrusion
sensors), which miss subtle degradation trends like slowly
increasing vibration, minor leaks, or repeated access
attempts. This reactive approach leads to undetected
anomalies, sudden failures, long Mean Time To Detect
(MTTD), and high unplanned downtime and repair costs.​

Core solution concept

‑
The solution is an IoT enabled supervisory system that
deploys embedded sensors (vibration, temperature, strain,
pressure, acoustic, motion, access/contact, etc.) on critical
assets and perimeters, streams the data to edge or cloud
analytics, and uses machine learning to distinguish normal
patterns from early signs of failure or security anomalies.
The system should provide real-time dashboards plus
prioritized alerts to maintenance and security teams,
enabling predictive maintenance and rapid incident
response instead of reactive firefighting.​

Functional requirements
Sensor network: rugged, networked sensors on key assets
and locations, collecting condition and security signals (e.g.,
vibration spectra, temperature trends, door open/close
events, presence detection, CCTV or acoustic cues) at
appropriate sampling rates.

Data pipeline and storage: secure ingestion, time-series

storage, and aggregation of multi-sensor data, with edge
processing where low latency is critical and central
processing for heavier models and historical analysis.

ML/analytics layer:

Predictive maintenance models that learn normal operating

baselines and forecast failures (bearings, pumps,
transformers, rails, IT infrastructure) based on deviations
and degradation trends.

Security anomaly detection that flags unusual access times,

repeated failed entry attempts, unexpected motion in
restricted zones, or tampering signatures.

Supervisory UI and workflows: role-based dashboards

showing asset health scores, risk rankings, and live alarms,
with SOP-linked workflows for triage, ticketing, and
escalation.​

Design and deployment considerations

The architecture must be scalable across many sites,
‑
support heterogeneous connectivity (wired, Wi Fi, LPWAN,
4G/5G), and operate securely with strong authentication and
encryption to avoid creating new cyber-attack surfaces.
Models must be robust to sensor noise and drift, and allow
periodic retraining as assets age or operating profiles
change. Integration with existing CMMS/ERP and physical
security systems is important so that alerts translate into
actionable maintenance or security tasks rather than
dashboard “noise.”​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is earlier detection of both technical
and security issues, reducing unplanned downtime and the
likelihood of catastrophic failures or successful intrusions.
Organisations can shift from time-based or reactive
maintenance to condition-based, predictive strategies,
typically cutting breakdowns and unplanned downtime
significantly while extending asset life and optimising
maintenance resources. At the same time, a unified, data-
driven view of asset health and physical security improves
compliance, auditability, and overall resilience of critical
infrastructure.

Industrial Maintenance & Compliance (IoT/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26069

Pharma shipments require strict compliance

(temperature/humidity) but often face breaks in
monitoring continuity, causing waste and
regulatory failure. Solution: Implement a resilient
IoT and AI-powered cold chain monitoring system
with predictive alerting to ensure continuous,
end-to-end data logging and compliance.

Problem context
Temperature- and humidity-sensitive products (vaccines,
biologics, insulin, specialty drugs) must remain within
narrow ranges across storage, handling, and transport, but
monitoring is often done with standalone data loggers that
are read only at delivery. This leads to blind spots between
nodes, delayed discovery of excursions, product wastage,
and difficulty proving compliance to regulators and
auditors.​

Core solution concept

The solution is an end-to-end IoT and AI-powered cold chain
monitoring system that mounts networked sensors in
warehouses, vehicles, and packaging, streams data
continuously, and uses predictive analytics to flag issues
before excursions become critical. Each shipment has a
digital trail: time-stamped temperature, humidity, location,
and equipment status, stored in a secure backend for real-
time visibility and later compliance reporting.​

Functional requirements
Sensing and connectivity: calibrated temperature and
humidity sensors on storage equipment and in shipment
packaging, plus optional battery/voltage and door-status
monitoring for reefers and cold rooms. Devices
‑
communicate via cellular, LPWAN, or Wi Fi with local
buffering so data is not lost during connectivity gaps.​

Continuous logging and alerts: high-frequency logging

across the entire journey, with rule-based and AI-based
alerts when readings approach or exceed limits, or when
patterns indicate likely upcoming failures (e.g., compressor
degradation, repeated borderline temperatures).​

Predictive analytics: models that learn normal temperature

profiles per lane, packaging type, and equipment, then
predict probability of excursion under current conditions to
enable proactive interventions (rerouting, transshipment,
equipment maintenance).​

Compliance and reporting: automatic generation of

excursion reports, audit-ready logs, and stability
assessments aligned with WHO and pharma guidelines for
cold-chain documentation.​

Design and deployment considerations

The system must support a range of temperature bands
(e.g., -80 °C for some biologics, 2–8 °C for vaccines, 15–25 °C
for others) and be validated for accuracy and calibration
traceability. It should integrate with existing WMS/TMS and
quality systems, provide role-based dashboards for QA,
logistics, and regulators, and consider optional security
features like tamper detection or blockchain traces for high-
value shipments.​
Expected outcome
The expected outcome is near-zero blind spots in
temperature/humidity monitoring, leading to fewer product
losses and stronger evidence of regulatory compliance,
including faster, more defensible release decisions at
receiving sites. Predictive alerting reduces excursions and
emergency product replacements, while comprehensive
digital records simplify audits and build trust with
healthcare providers and patients.​

Industrial Maintenance & Compliance (IoT/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26070

Warehouse staff require rapid, hands-free access

to operational data, which is currently locked
within complex WMS interfaces. Solution:
Develop an AI-powered conversational voice/chat
assistant integrated with the WMS for real-time
access to inventory status, order fulfillment
metrics, and location status.

Problem context
Traditional WMS interfaces are optimized for supervisors at
desks, not for pickers, forklift drivers, or floor leads who are
moving continuously and often have their hands and eyes
occupied. This leads to delays whenever staff need basic
information like “Where is SKU X?”, “How many units are
left for order Y?”, or “What is today’s pick rate on lane Z?”,
because they must stop work, access a terminal, and search
through multiple screens.​

Core solution concept

The solution is an AI-powered conversational assistant—
accessible via voice headsets, handhelds, or chat—that
connects directly to the WMS and related systems. Staff ask
natural-language questions (“Show me inventory for item
ABC in Zone B”, “What’s my next pick?”, “Which orders are
at risk?”) and receive spoken or text responses driven by
live WMS data. The assistant also supports task-aware
workflows such as voice-directed picking, replenishment,
and exception reporting.​

Functional requirements
Multimodal interface:

Voice: robust speech recognition and synthesis tuned for

noisy warehouse environments and varied accents, running
on wearables or mobile devices.​

Chat: simple text UI inside an existing mobile/WMS app or

browser for supervisors.

Deep WMS integration:

Real-time access via APIs to inventory status (by SKU,

location, batch), order fulfillment metrics (pick/pack/ship
status, backlog), and location utilization.​

Ability to trigger actions like confirming picks, reallocating

tasks, logging damages, or expediting orders at risk, with
appropriate permissions.​

AI/NLP layer:
Natural language understanding to map user questions and
commands to WMS queries and workflows.

Context awareness (who is speaking, current task, location)

so responses and prompts are targeted and concise.

Security and governance:

Authentication and role-based access so users only see and

change what they are allowed to, with full audit trails of
voice/chat interactions.​

Design considerations
The assistant must cope with high background noise,
intermittent connectivity, and legacy WMS constraints,
often using APIs or middleware to bridge systems. It should
be incremental to deploy—starting with a small set of high-
value queries and workflows (e.g., “where is my next
pick?”) and expanding as users gain confidence—while
providing clear performance metrics such as reduced
search time and increased picks per hour.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is faster, hands-free access to
operational data for warehouse staff, reducing time wasted
at terminals and improving situational awareness on the
floor. This leads to higher picking and replenishment
productivity, fewer errors and stock-location disputes, and
better real-time responsiveness to issues like orders at risk
or stockouts, all while extending the value of the existing
WMS rather than replacing it.

AI & GenAI: Data & Documentation Automation

Problem Statement No : TNI26071

Software testing cycles are hindered by slow,

manual test case creation and automation script
development. Solution: Utilize Generative
AI/LLMs to interpret business requirement
documents and automatically generate
comprehensive test cases and executable
automation scripts.

Problem context
Today, test engineers manually read business requirement
documents (BRDs, user stories, SRS) and then write test
cases and automation scripts by hand. This is
‑
time consuming, highly dependent on individual skill, and
often leads to incomplete coverage or duplicated effort
when requirements change.

Core solution concept

The solution is to build a system where Generative AI/LLMs
ingest structured and unstructured requirement inputs
(BRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, APIs, UI flows) and
automatically propose:

Human-readable test scenarios, test cases, and data sets.

Skeleton or near-complete automation scripts compatible

with the existing test framework (e.g., Selenium, Playwright,
Cypress, REST API clients, or mobile automation tools).

Functional requirements
Requirement ingestion and understanding:
Parse documents in natural language, identify features,
workflows, business rules, and edge conditions.

Extract entities (fields, roles, preconditions) and map them

to the system under test (SUT) components.

Test case generation:

Produce functional test cases (positive, negative, boundary,

error-handling) with steps, expected results, and
traceability back to requirement IDs.

Support different levels: unit-level suggestions (given some

‑ ‑
interface spec), integration, end to end, regression suites,
‑
and non functional checks where requirements allow (basic
performance, security hints).

Automation script generation:

Generate executable script stubs or full scripts in the team’s

chosen language and framework, including
locators/selectors, data parameterization hooks, and
setup/teardown structure.

Keep scripts aligned with page-object or screen-object

patterns and existing test architecture, so humans can
refine rather than rewrite.

Iteration and maintenance:

Regenerate and diff test cases/scripts when requirements

change, highlighting what has been added, removed, or
needs review.

Support prompts like “add tests for boundary values of field

X” or “generate API tests for this new endpoint spec”.
Design and integration considerations
The AI layer should be integrated into existing ALM/DevOps
tooling (e.g., requirements management, test management,
CI/CD) so generated test cases can be imported, reviewed,
and versioned like any other artefact.

Guardrails are needed so that generated tests are

suggestions, not blindly accepted: human review, style and
coverage checklists, and static analysis for automation
scripts.

Privacy and IP protection must be addressed by controlling

what documents are fed to the model and where inference
runs (on-premises or in a controlled cloud), especially for
sensitive domains (banking, healthcare, defense).

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a substantial reduction in time
from requirement finalization to available test suites and
automation code, without sacrificing quality. Test teams can
‑
focus more on reviewing and refining AI generated
artefacts, exploratory testing, and complex scenarios, while
routine coverage and script boilerplate are largely
automated. Over time, this should improve requirement-to-
test traceability, increase test coverage, shorten regression
cycles, and support more reliable, faster releases.

Problem Statement No : TNI26072

Feature development is often delayed by over-

scoping and premature complexity, slowing
market release and feedback cycles. Solution:
Define an agile process and framework focused on
Minimum Viable Product (MVP) creation to
accelerate go-to-market speed and prioritize core
value delivery.

Problem context
Product and engineering teams frequently pack too many
features, edge cases, and integrations into “v1”, driven by
stakeholder pressure and fear of missing requirements. This
over-scoping inflates design, development, and testing
effort, causes rework when real user feedback arrives late,
and delays learning about what actually matters to
customers.

Core idea of the MVP framework

The goal is to institutionalize a way of working where each
feature or product initiative must first pass through an MVP
stage: the smallest coherent version that delivers clear user
value and can be released to a limited audience. The
framework defines how to slice scope, how to decide what is
“must-have vs. can-wait”, and how to rapidly iterate based
on usage and feedback, instead of treating the first launch
as a final product.

Key elements of the process

Problem framing over solution lists

Start every initiative with a concise problem statement,

target user segment, and success metrics (e.g., activation
rate, time saved, conversion uplift).
Translate requirements into user journeys, then identify the
single riskiest assumption (value, usability, or technical)
that the MVP must test.

MVP scoping rules

‑
Define strict categories: Must have (core journey must work
‑
end-to-end), Should have (important, but deferrable to
‑
MVP+1), Could have (nice-to-have, backlog),
‑ ‑
Won’t have now (explicitly out).

Limit v1 to one primary user journey and minimal

configuration; postpone bulk of edge cases, advanced
settings, and broad integrations unless they are clearly
critical to adoption.

Agile delivery structure

Use short, fixed-length iterations (e.g., 1–2 weeks) where

each sprint delivers a testable slice of the core journey.

Include design, engineering, QA, and product in joint

backlog refinement explicitly focused on “how do we make
this smaller while keeping the learning value?”

Bake in a “hard gate” at each planning cycle: if scope is

expanding but launch date is fixed, nice-to-have items are
automatically pushed out.

Feedback and learning loop

Launch MVP to a controlled cohort (internal users, beta

customers, or a regional slice), with instrumentation to
capture behavior, performance, and support tickets.

After each release, run a structured review: what did users

actually use, where did they struggle, and what assumptions
were invalid? Use this to reprioritize the backlog before
adding new capabilities.

Governance and safeguards

Define clear ownership: a product owner is accountable for
MVP scope discipline and for maintaining a small,
prioritized backlog.

Establish a lightweight approval checklist for leaving the

MVP stage (e.g., stable metrics, validated value, clear path
for scaling), to avoid endless “MVP” labels on half-finished
products.

Track a few portfolio-level metrics such as average cycle

time from idea to first release, number of features reaching
users per quarter, and percentage of scope that gets
trimmed before v1, to reinforce the cultural shift.

Expected outcome
With this MVP-focused agile framework, feature
development should move from large, slow, one-shot
deliveries to smaller, faster, and evidence-driven releases.
Teams gain quicker market feedback, reduce wasted effort
‑ ‑
on low-value complexity, and improve go to market speed
while still being able to evolve features into full products
based on proven user needs.

Supply Chain & Logistics Innovation

Problem Statement No : TNI26073

The value and impact of deployed features are

poorly understood due to inconsistent metrics
capture and ROI analysis. Solution: Establish a
standardized process and telemetry architecture
for capturing key performance indices (KPIs) to
measure the true return on investment (ROI) of
every feature.

Problem context
Right now, features are released with ad-hoc or missing
metrics, making it hard to prove whether they actually
drive revenue, reduce cost, or improve user experience.
Different teams track different numbers (or none), so
comparing impact across features or justifying future
investment becomes largely subjective and political instead
of data-based.

Core solution concept

Define a common process and telemetry architecture where
every feature must declare its target outcomes and KPIs
before development, and the product automatically emits
the necessary events and metrics once deployed. A central
analytics layer then attributes changes in those KPIs to
specific features or releases as far as possible, enabling
consistent ROI analysis across the portfolio.​

Process elements
Objective and KPI definition up front

For each feature, define 1–3 primary business goals (e.g.,

incremental revenue, cost savings, productivity, risk
reduction) and map them to measurable KPIs such as
conversion rate, retention, time-on-task, time saved, or
error rate.​

Document baseline values and target deltas (e.g., “reduce

checkout time by 20%”, “increase activation by 5 percentage
points”).

Standardized KPI taxonomy

Create an organization-wide catalogue of KPIs with clear

definitions and calculation methods (e.g., “feature adoption
rate”, “tasks/hour”, “support tickets per 1,000 users”).​

Require all teams to use these shared definitions so metrics

are comparable across features and products.​

Experiment and attribution plan

Decide per feature whether you will use A/B tests, phased
rollouts, or pre/post comparisons, and specify what traffic
or user segments are in scope.

Define minimum sample sizes and observation windows

needed before declaring ROI results credible.

Telemetry and architecture

Instrumentation standards

Use a common event schema (user ID, session ID, feature

flag, action, context) across products to capture interactions
relevant to the feature’s KPIs.​

Implement a shared telemetry SDK so engineers add events

in a consistent, low-friction way.

Data pipeline and storage

Centralize events and operational data (usage, performance,

support tickets, costs) into a single analytics warehouse or
lake, keyed by feature flags and release versions.
Maintain reference tables that map events and entities back
to feature IDs and business owners.

ROI calculation layer

Build standard dashboards and models that compute:

Value side: incremental revenue, cost savings,

productivity/time saved, and qualitative benefits where
quantification is possible.​

Cost side: development, infrastructure, support, and

ongoing maintenance for each feature.

Apply a common ROI formula such as

ROI
=
Total Benefits
−
Total Costs
Total Costs
ROI=
Total Costs
Total Benefits−Total Costs
expressed as a percentage, plus leading indicators like
adoption and engagement trends.​

Governance and operating model

Require a “metrics and telemetry spec” as part of feature
design, approved by product, engineering, and analytics
before work starts.

Make feature releases conditional on at least basic

instrumentation being in place (no “ship now, measure
later”).

Review feature ROI periodically in product portfolio

reviews, using standardized dashboards to decide whether
to iterate, scale, or retire features.​

Expected outcome
With this process and telemetry architecture, every shipped
feature comes with clear, measurable KPIs and traceable
ROI, reducing ambiguity about what actually creates value.
Product and leadership teams gain a consistent basis for
prioritization, can double down on high-ROI features, and
can sunset low-impact ones, leading to better capital
allocation and stronger alignment between engineering
effort and business results.

Separate codebase maintenance for web, iOS, and

Android platforms drastically increases
development time and cost. Solution: Develop a
unified cross-platform architecture (e.g., React
Native, Flutter) that allows for writing code once
and deploying consistently across all major
operating systems.

Problem context
Today, features and fixes must be implemented
independently in three stacks (web, iOS, Android), each
with its own UI layer, business logic, and often separate
teams. This leads to:

Higher development and QA effort, as the same

functionality is rebuilt and retested multiple times.

Release misalignment, where one platform lags behind

others.

Inconsistent UX and behavior, hurting user trust and

supportability.

Core solution concept

The goal is to adopt a cross-platform framework (such as a
modern JavaScript/TypeScript or Dart-based stack) and
architecture that allows shared code for most of the app—
especially domain logic, networking, and a large portion of
UI—while still respecting platform-specific UX conventions.
The same codebase should generate production apps for iOS
and Android and, where appropriate, share logic with the
web front end via a related framework or shared libraries.

Architectural principles
Single source of truth for business logic

Encapsulate domain rules, API clients, state management,

and data models in shared modules.

Keep platform-specific code limited to thin presentation or

integration layers (e.g., native platform APIs, specialized UI
components).

Cross-platform UI strategy

Use a cross-platform UI toolkit to implement most screens

once, adapting to platform themes and behaviors where
required.
Allow escape hatches for critical screens where native
components are necessary for performance or UX reasons.

Shared design system and components

Define a common design system (color, typography, spacing,

interaction patterns) and build reusable components
around it.

Apply platform-aware styling (e.g., iOS vs Material patterns)

within the same component library to keep the experience
familiar on each OS.

Process and tooling implications

Unify the development workflow around a single main repo
or well-defined mono/multi-repo structure with shared
packages.

Standardize CI/CD pipelines to build and test all targets

(web, iOS, Android) automatically on each change, with a
common test suite for shared logic.

Align team roles so product, design, and engineering think

in terms of “features” rather than “per-platform projects,”
with platform specialists focusing on integration and edge
cases.

Expected outcome
With a unified cross-platform architecture, most new
features and bug fixes are implemented once instead of
three times, reducing development and QA effort and
shortening time-to-market. Releases can be more
synchronized across platforms, user experience becomes
more consistent, and long-term maintenance costs drop as
technical debt is consolidated rather than multiplied.

AI & GenAI: Data & Documentation Automation

Problem Statement No : TNI26075

HR operations involve high volumes of repetitive,

administrative tasks consuming valuable staff
time and increasing error rates. Solution: Develop
an Agentic AI platform that automates complex
HR workflows, handling tasks like onboarding,
query resolution, and policy management
autonomously.

Problem context
HR teams spend a large portion of their time on routine
activities like sending onboarding emails, collecting
documents, updating HRIS records, answering policy
queries, and pushing standard approvals through multiple
systems. This repetitive work is slow, error-prone, and
leaves less time for strategic HR activities such as talent
development and workforce planning. As organizations
scale, the volume of tickets and the number of tools used
(HRIS, LMS, ticketing, payroll, access management) grow,
making manual coordination increasingly inefficient.

Core solution concept

The solution is to design an “Agentic AI” platform: a set of AI
agents that understand HR policies and workflows,
converse with employees in natural language, and are
authorized to perform actions across systems within clearly
defined guardrails. Instead of just providing static answers,
the agents orchestrate multi-step workflows—such as
onboarding, leave corrections, or policy updates—by
reading context, making decisions, and calling the right
systems or people when needed.

Key capabilities and workflows

Onboarding automation

Collect necessary inputs from new hires via chat (personal

details, bank info, document uploads).

Create or update records in HR systems, trigger background

checks, assign onboarding learning modules, and schedule
orientation sessions.

Generate and send personalized checklists and reminders to

both new hires and managers.

Employee query resolution

24/7 conversational assistant that answers questions about

leave, benefits, reimbursements, performance cycles, and
policies using a controlled knowledge base.

Escalate complex or ambiguous cases to human HR, with a

summarized context so HR staff can respond quickly
instead of reading long email chains.

Learn from resolved tickets to improve future responses

while staying within approved policy content.

Policy and workflow management

Help HR draft, update, and publish policy documents while

keeping a structured, searchable policy repository.

Automatically propagate relevant policy snippets into

answers, templates, and workflow checks (e.g., “Is this leave
request compliant with policy X?”).

Support change management by identifying who is affected

by a new policy and orchestrating notifications and
acknowledgements.

Cross-system orchestration

As a “control layer” over existing tools (HRIS, payroll, IT

service management, access control), the platform can
submit tickets, update records, and check statuses based on
natural language instructions and predefined automations.

For example: “Create offboarding tasks for employee A on

date B” triggers access revocation, exit interview
scheduling, and asset return workflows.

Governance, safety, and design considerations

Role-based permissions: the agent can only perform actions
that the underlying HR role is allowed to do, with clear
audit logs of every step.

Guardrails and verification: for sensitive actions (e.g., salary

changes, terminations), the agent prepares the transaction
but requires human approval before execution.

Data privacy and compliance: strict controls over which

data the AI can see and use, plus masking of sensitive
information where not needed for a task.

Human-in-the-loop: HR staff remain accountable and can

override or refine agent decisions; the system is designed to
augment, not replace, HR judgment.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a significant reduction in manual
HR workload for repetitive administrative tasks, faster
turnaround on employee requests, and lower error rates in
data entry and workflow execution. HR teams can
reallocate time to higher-value activities such as
engagement, analytics, and strategic workforce planning,
while employees experience more responsive, consistent
service through a single conversational interface instead of
navigating multiple portals and forms

Software Development & IT Optimization

Problem Statement No : TNI26076

The proliferation of SaaS applications leads to

spiraling subscription costs and underutilized
licenses across the enterprise. Solution: Create an
automated SaaS cost optimization platform that
tracks usage metrics and licensing data to identify
and rationalize redundant or inefficient software
subscriptions.

Problem context
As departments independently adopt SaaS tools for
collaboration, analytics, development, and niche workflows,
subscription spending grows faster than governance. Many
licenses go unused or underused, multiple products overlap
in functionality (e.g., several project tools or CRMs), and
renewals happen automatically without data-driven
justification. Finance and IT lack a single, reliable view of
who uses what, how often, and at what cost.

Core solution concept

The solution is an automated SaaS cost optimization
platform that continuously discovers applications, pulls
licensing and contract data, and combines this with real
usage metrics (logins, feature usage, seat activity). The
platform highlights underutilized licenses, redundant tools,
and rightsizing opportunities, and supports decision
workflows for consolidation, downgrade, or cancellation.

Key functional requirements

Discovery and inventory

Automatically detect SaaS applications from SSO logs,

expense data, and browser/endpoint telemetry to maintain
a live catalog of tools in use.

Aggregate contract terms, renewal dates, and pricing tiers

for each application and map them to departments and cost
centers.

Usage and utilization analytics

Track license-level and feature-level usage (active days,

sessions, key feature adoption) to calculate utilization rates
per user, team, and application.

Flag unused or low-usage seats, as well as overlapping tools

in the same category (e.g., multiple work management
solutions).

Optimization recommendations

Suggest actions such as reclaiming unused seats,

downgrading license tiers for light users, consolidating
overlapping SaaS, and renegotiating contracts based on
observed usage patterns.

Provide savings estimates and impact projections to help

stakeholders prioritize which changes to implement first.

Governance workflows

Route recommendations to application owners for

approval, with one-click actions (e.g., deprovision users,
adjust tiers) where integrated with SSO/SCIM and vendor
APIs.

Enforce policies for new tool adoption (e.g., require review

if a new SaaS overlaps with an approved category tool) and
set guardrails for per-user or per-team SaaS budgets.

Design and integration considerations

The platform should integrate with identity providers, HR
systems, finance/expense tools, and major SaaS vendor APIs
while respecting privacy and access control. It needs a clear
role model (IT, Finance, App Owner, Manager) and
dashboards tailored to each, plus audit logs showing what
changes were made and why. Data freshness and accuracy
are critical so that decisions are based on current usage, not
stale snapshots.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a sustained reduction in SaaS
spend through elimination of unused licenses, rightsizing of
tiers, and consolidation of overlapping tools, typically
without degrading user productivity. At the same time, IT
and Finance gain transparency into SaaS usage and costs,
enabling better vendor negotiations, fewer surprise
renewals, and better alignment between software
investments and actual business value.

Sustainability & Resource Efficiency

Problem Statement No : TNI26077

Manufacturing processes currently rely on

resource-intensive methods, leading to high waste
generation and environmental impact. Solution:
Engineer sustainable manufacturing processes
and toolsets focusing on material efficiency,
circular economy principles, and low-energy
consumption techniques.

Problem context
Traditional manufacturing often uses more raw material,
energy, and water than necessary, and generates significant
scrap and emissions across the full product life cycle.
Regulatory pressure, customer expectations, and input-cost
volatility now make these impacts both an environmental
and economic risk.​

Core solution concept

The solution is to engineer processes and toolsets that
embed sustainability as a design constraint: maximizing
material yield, enabling reuse and recycling, and lowering
energy intensity per unit output. This involves interventions
at three levels: product and process design, operational
practices on the shop floor, and closed-loop material and
energy systems aligned with circular economy principles.​

Material efficiency and circularity

Apply design-for-manufacture and design-for-recycling to
reduce part count, simplify fasteners, and prefer mono-
material or easily separable assemblies, improving yield
and recyclability.​

Implement lean and value-stream mapping to eliminate

over-processing, excess movement, and scrap, and create
‑
routes for reclaiming offcuts, scrap, and by products back
into production or partner industries.​

‑
Substitute hazardous or high impact inputs with safer,
lower-footprint materials where performance allows, and
incorporate recycled or bio-based feedstocks where
feasible.​

Low-energy, low-emission techniques

Introduce energy-efficient equipment and controls:
variable-speed drives, high-efficiency motors, optimized
compressed air systems, and smart shutdown of idle
machines.​

Use process changes that reduce thermal and chemical

loads, such as low-temperature curing, improved insulation,
or dry machining/lubrication where appropriate.​

Integrate on-site renewables (solar, wind) and heat

recovery to cut scope 2 emissions and improve resilience to
energy price spikes.​

Enabling tools and governance

Deploy real-time monitoring (OEE, scrap, energy per unit,
water use) to track sustainability KPIs at line and plant level
and tie them into continuous improvement programs.​

Build supplier and customer collaboration into the process

(take-back schemes, recycled-content targets, shared
sustainability standards) to support a broader circular
economy network.​

Establish clear targets and audit routines so that

sustainability gains are measured, reported, and reinforced
rather than treated as one-off projects.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a manufacturing setup that
delivers the same or better output with lower material use,
energy consumption, and waste, thereby reducing operating
costs and environmental footprint simultaneously. Over
time, these sustainable processes improve regulatory
compliance, brand value, and supply-chain resilience, and
provide a platform for continuous eco-efficiency innovation
rather than one-time retrofits.

Supply Chain Resilience & Data Integration

Problem Statement No : TNI26078

The supply chain is vulnerable to disruptions

(geopolitical, natural disasters) due to a lack of
real-time risk visibility and contingency planning.
Solution: Develop a resilient supply chain
dashboard using AI to simulate disruption
scenarios and recommend optimal multi-sourcing
and inventory buffer strategies.
Problem context
Current supply chains are exposed to geopolitical shocks,
port closures, pandemics, and natural disasters, but risk
awareness is often limited to static reports and manual
monitoring of news and supplier emails. When a disruption
occurs, organizations scramble reactively, lacking a
consolidated picture of which suppliers, lanes, and SKUs are
affected or how long buffers will last.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a unified supply chain risk dashboard that
continuously ingests operational data (suppliers, POs,
inventory, routes) and external signals (news, weather,
geopolitical alerts) and uses AI models to score risk,
simulate disruption scenarios, and recommend mitigations.
The dashboard becomes a “control tower” where planners
can see risk hotspots, explore multi-sourcing options, and
tune inventory buffers at nodes and for critical SKUs.​

Functional requirements
Real-time visibility: interactive maps and dashboards
showing suppliers by tier, transport routes, inventory
positions, and live incidents, overlaid with risk indicators
(political, environmental, financial).​

AI risk intelligence: models that classify and score events

(e.g., factory fire, sanctions, flood), estimate likely impact
windows, and link them to affected suppliers, parts, and
customers.​

Scenario simulation: what-if tools to model disruptions (loss

of a supplier, port closure, lane capacity drop) and evaluate
alternative strategies such as switching to backup suppliers,
rerouting, or using safety stock.​

Policy recommendations: optimization modules that

propose target safety-stock levels, reorder points, and multi-
sourcing mixes for critical items, balancing service level,
cost, and risk.​

Design and data considerations

The dashboard needs clean master data (supplier locations,
BOMs, lanes), near real-time feeds from ERP/TMS/WMS, and
curated external data sources (news, ratings, weather,
catastrophe feeds) mapped to the supply network.
Governance is required to maintain an accurate multi-tier
supplier map and to define risk thresholds that trigger
automatic alerts and escalation workflows.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a shift from reactive firefighting to
proactive resilience:

Earlier detection of emerging disruptions, with clear

visibility of which SKUs, plants, and customers are at risk.​

Data-driven playbooks for multi-sourcing and buffer sizing

that reduce stockouts and excess inventory while improving
service continuity.​

Better-informed strategic sourcing and network design

decisions, as leaders can compare long-term risk-adjusted
scenarios rather than relying purely on unit cost.

Enterprise Digitalization & Workflow

Problem Statement No : TNI26079

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) often

lack the technical expertise and capital to
effectively adopt modern digital tools. Solution:
Design an accessible, low-cost technology
adoption framework (e.g., modular SaaS toolkit)
specifically tailored to the unique operational
constraints of SMEs.

Problem context
Many SMEs run on paper, spreadsheets, and ad hoc ‑
messaging apps, which limits visibility into sales, inventory,
cash flow, and operations. At the same time, they lack
‑
in house IT teams and cannot afford large upfront
investments, complex implementations, or lengthy training
programs. This combination creates a “digital gap” where
SMEs want benefits like automation and analytics but
struggle to select, deploy, and sustain suitable tools.

Core solution concept

The solution is an accessible technology adoption
framework built around a modular SaaS toolkit and simple
processes, designed specifically for SME constraints. It
should:

Prioritize essential business functions (e.g., billing,

inventory, basic CRM, task tracking) over advanced features.

‑ ‑
Offer plug and play modules that can be turned on
gradually, with low entry-level pricing (or freemium tiers)
and minimal configuration.

Include guided workflows and templates tuned to common

SME patterns (trading, job-work manufacturing, services).

Framework pillars
Business-first assessment
Start with a short, non-technical “digital readiness and
needs” questionnaire covering sales, purchasing, inventory,
HR, and finance.

Identify 2–3 high-impact use cases (e.g., faster invoicing,

stock visibility, simple production planning) as initial
targets instead of attempting full transformation.

Modular SaaS toolkit design

Core modules:

Sales & invoicing (quotation → order → invoice).

Basic inventory and item tracking.

Simple CRM and follow-up reminders.

Task/production tracking for basic job management.

Optional modules:

Simple analytics dashboard (cash, sales, top items).

Vendor and purchase management.

Lightweight HR/timekeeping.

All modules share a common master-data layer (customers,

items, users) to avoid duplication and maintain consistency.

Low-friction onboarding and usage

Mobile-first, simple web interfaces with local-language

support and minimal required fields.
In-app setup wizards and prebuilt templates (for invoices,
stock items, workflows) so SMEs can go live in days, not
months.

Role-based views: owner, accountant, storekeeper, and field

staff each see simplified, relevant screens.

Support and ecosystem

Provide help via short, vernacular video guides and chat-

based assistance instead of heavy manuals.

Enable partner/onboarding networks (local consultants, CA

firms, industry associations) to help SMEs set up and
customize the toolkit using standardized playbooks.

Governance, cost, and scalability

Pricing tailored to SME cash flow: low base subscription
with per-user or per-feature add-ons, allowing very small
firms to start cheap and scale as they grow.

Data portability assured via simple export/import so SMEs

are not locked in and can “graduate” to more advanced
systems later.

Security and compliance baked in (basic access control,

backups, and regional data regulations), managed centrally
so SMEs do not need in-house IT security expertise.

Expected outcome
With this framework, SMEs can adopt digital tools
incrementally, focusing first on high-impact problems and
adding modules as comfort and value grow. This reduces
the risk of failed IT projects, lowers upfront investment, and
improves day-to-day efficiency and visibility, while building
a realistic pathway from paper-based operations to
sustainable digital maturity.

AI & GenAI: Data & Documentation Automation

Problem Statement No : TNI26080

International shipping is burdened by slow,

manual, and error-prone customs declaration and
clearance procedures. Solution: Develop an AI-
driven system to automate the classification,
documentation, and submission of customs data,
ensuring regulatory compliance and accelerating
clearance times.

Problem context
Cross-border shipments require correct HS (tariff)
classification, valuation, origin declarations, and a variety
of supporting documents, all of which are often prepared
manually from invoices, packing lists, and contracts. This
manual work is slow and error-prone, leading to
misclassification, missing fields, and inconsistent data
across documents, which in turn causes holds, fines, and
unpredictable clearance times. Different countries and
lanes add further complexity via varying document
formats, restrictions, and licensing rules.

Core solution concept

The solution is an AI-driven customs assistant that ingests
shipment data (commercial invoices, packing lists, product
catalogs, historical customs entries) and automatically:
Suggests HS codes and other classification attributes for
each line item, with confidence scores and explanations.

Generates complete customs declarations and supporting

documents with consistent data and structure.

Validates entries against known rules (embargoed goods,

value thresholds, quantity limits) and flags potential
compliance issues before submission.
A submission layer then formats and transmits the data to
brokers or electronic customs portals, with tracking and
audit trails.

Key functional capabilities

Data ingestion and normalization

Read structured and unstructured inputs (PDFs,

spreadsheets, system exports) and extract key fields:
product descriptions, quantities, weights, values, Incoterms,
parties, and origin.

Map extracted fields into a unified internal schema for

classification and documentation.

HS classification and compliance checks

Use ML/NLP models trained on historical classifications,

product catalogs, and expert rules to propose HS codes and
required attributes (e.g., material composition, function,
end-use).

Cross-check against country-specific regulations, sanctions

lists, and special regimes to highlight restricted or sensitive
items requiring extra licensing or documentation.

Document generation and submission

Auto-fill customs declarations, commercial invoices, packing
lists, and other required forms with consistent, validated
data across all documents.

Support lane- and country-specific formats and schemas for

electronic filing where available, and generate structured
outputs suitable for integration with brokers’ systems.

Feedback and continuous learning

Incorporate feedback from customs decisions, broker

corrections, and internal compliance reviews to refine
classification models and rules over time.

Provide explainability for AI decisions (e.g., “similar past

shipments used HS code X because of attributes A, B, C”) to
help compliance teams validate and approve outputs.

Design and governance considerations

Keep humans in the loop: customs, tax, and legal experts
should review and approve AI-generated classifications and
high-risk declarations, especially for complex or high-value
shipments.

Implement robust audit trails, versioning, and access

controls so all data changes, submissions, and approvals are
traceable for internal and regulatory audits.

Ensure strong data protection and regional compliance (e.g.,

handling of personal data, trade secrets, and sensitive
destinations) when storing and processing shipment and
customer information.

Expected outcome
With this system, the organization should see a marked
reduction in preparation time per declaration, fewer
manual errors, and greater consistency in HS classification
and documentation. Clearance times should improve as
entries arrive more complete and accurate, while
compliance risk is reduced through systematic rule checks
and expert oversight. Over time, the accumulated data and
AI learning can also support better duty forecasting, landed
cost analysis, and strategic decisions around product
descriptions and sourcing to optimize customs outcomes.

Industrial Maintenance & Compliance (IoT/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26081

Downtime is increased by reactive maintenance

based on failure, rather than proactive
intervention based on machine health. Solution:
Implement a Real-Time Machine Health
Monitoring system using vibration, temperature,
and power sensors, coupled with ML for
predictive maintenance scheduling.

Problem context
Reactive maintenance waits for machines to fail, causing
sudden stoppages, secondary damage, and expensive rush
repairs. This approach also makes it hard to plan spare
parts, technician time, and production schedules, driving up
both operational and capital costs.

Core solution concept

The solution is a Real-Time Machine Health Monitoring
system that uses embedded sensors (vibration, temperature,
current/power) to stream condition data from critical
equipment. Machine learning models analyze these signals
to detect anomalies, estimate remaining useful life, and
trigger predictive maintenance work orders before failures
occur.

Sensing and data acquisition

Equip critical assets (motors, pumps, gearboxes,
compressors, CNCs, conveyors) with:

Vibration sensors (accelerometers) on bearings and

housings.

Temperature sensors on bearings, windings, and lubrication

points.

Power/current sensors on feeders to capture load patterns.

Sample data at appropriate rates (high-frequency for

vibration, lower for temperature/power) and transmit via
wired/industrial networks or wireless gateways to an edge
or central node.

Tag data with asset IDs, operating mode, speed, and load to
distinguish true degradation from normal process changes.

Analytics and ML layer

Signal processing: extract features such as RMS, kurtosis,
spectral peaks, temperature trends, and power factor from
raw sensor data.

Anomaly detection: use models (e.g., unsupervised or semi-

supervised) that learn “normal” behavior per machine and
flag deviations indicating imbalance, misalignment, bearing
wear, overheating, or overload.
Predictive maintenance: for assets with enough history,
train models to estimate probability of failure within a time
window or remaining useful life, feeding maintenance
planning.

Alerting: generate graded alerts (warning, critical) and

recommended actions, rather than just threshold breaches.

Integration with maintenance operations

Connect the monitoring system to the CMMS/ERP so that
high-confidence issues automatically create work orders
with asset, fault type, and suggested timing.

Provide dashboards showing machine health scores, risk

ranking, and trends for planners and production managers.

Support root-cause analysis by correlating machine health

events with production data (shifts, products, recipes) and
past interventions.

Design and governance considerations

Start with a prioritized asset list (based on criticality and
downtime cost) and expand as ROI is proven.

Ensure robust sensor installation, calibration, and

cybersecurity for connected devices.

Keep humans in the loop: maintenance engineers validate

model outputs, fine-tune thresholds, and update models
after confirmed failures or repairs.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a shift from reactive to predictive
maintenance, with fewer unexpected breakdowns, shorter
and better-planned stoppages, and longer asset life. Over
time, this leads to lower maintenance cost per unit
produced, improved OEE (availability, performance,
quality), and more stable, reliable production schedules.

Safety, Security & Robotics

Problem Statement No : TNI26082

Industrial accidents require immediate detection

and response, but current systems rely on slow
human reporting or limited surveillance.
Solution: Build an AI-Powered Industrial Accident
Detection system using computer vision (CCTV) to
immediately identify incidents and trigger
emergency alerts.

Problem context
Most plants and warehouses still depend on supervisors,
manual panic buttons, or generic CCTV to notice falls,
collisions, fires, or people in danger zones, which introduces
delay and misses incidents in blind spots. Computer vision
in industrial settings has already been used to detect unsafe
forklift–pedestrian proximity and worker falls, proving that
AI can reliably monitor scenes and trigger alerts faster than
human-only surveillance.​

Core solution concept

The solution is an AI-powered accident detection layer on
top of existing CCTV, running models that detect critical
events such as falls, person–vehicle collisions, entry into
restricted zones, absence of PPE, or a worker lying
motionless. When an incident pattern is recognized, the
system instantly pushes alerts to control rooms,
supervisors, and safety teams, and can also trigger on-site
alarms or interlocks according to pre-defined protocols.​

Functional requirements
Real-time video analytics: object and action recognition
models to detect people, vehicles, hazardous equipment,
and unsafe interactions (e.g., worker too close to moving
machinery, body on the ground).

Risk logic and zones: configurable virtual safety zones on

camera feeds (no-go areas, forklift aisles, edges, elevated
work) with rules defining what constitutes an incident or
near-miss.​

Alerting and integration: multi-channel alerts (sirens, lights,

SMS/app, control-room dashboards) with snapshots or short
clips, plus integration to incident management and EHS
systems to log and track events.​

Design and deployment considerations

Models must be tuned to site-specific layouts, lighting,
camera angles, and PPE styles to reduce false positives
while remaining conservative about missed incidents. Edge
processing close to cameras can lower latency and network
load, while central analytics aggregate incidents for trend
analysis and safety improvements. Governance is essential
around privacy, data retention, and clear communication to
workers about how video is used for safety rather than
surveillance.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is faster and more reliable detection
of accidents and high-risk situations, reducing response
time and the severity of injuries. Over time, aggregated
incident and near-miss data supports proactive safety
interventions—layout changes, training, and engineered
controls—leading to fewer accidents, stronger compliance
with safety standards, and a demonstrably safer workplace.

Industrial Maintenance & Compliance (IoT/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26083

Customer dissatisfaction is high due to

fragmented communication channels and
inconsistent responses across logistics
touchpoints. Solution: Design a Unified Customer
Complaint and Communication Platform that
centralizes all queries (chat, email, voice) and
provides a single view of issue resolution

Problem context
In many logistics operations, customer touchpoints are
scattered across call centers, WhatsApp numbers, email
inboxes, and tracking portals that do not share context. This
fragmentation leads to repeated explanations by customers,
conflicting status updates, slow handoffs between teams,
and poor visibility for supervisors into true issue volumes
and resolution performance.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a centralized, omni-channel customer
service platform tailored to logistics, where all interactions
—voice calls, emails, web/app chat, messaging apps—are
ingested into a single case record linked to shipments,
orders, and accounts. Agents work from one console with
real-time access to TMS/WMS data, and customers
experience consistent responses regardless of channel. The
system should also provide configurable workflows for
complaint routing, SLA tracking, and automated
notifications.​

Functional requirements
Omni-channel intake

Unified inbox for chat, email, voice transcripts, and

messaging (e.g., SMS/WhatsApp), with automatic creation
and merging of cases by tracking ID, order ID, or customer
account.

Click-to-call and in-app messaging integrated with a cloud

contact center so voice and digital conversations are logged
in the same timeline.​

Single pane of glass for agents

Embedded views of shipment status, delivery events, and

exceptions from TMS/WMS, so agents do not switch
between multiple systems.

Standardized response templates and knowledge base

articles to keep answers consistent while still allowing
personalization.​

Case management and SLAs

Configurable workflows that route complaints based on

issue type (damage, delay, billing, return), priority, and
customer tier to the right team.
SLA timers, escalation rules, and real-time dashboards for
first-response time, resolution time, and backlog by lane or
customer.​

Intelligence and automation

Use AI to auto-classify intents, extract key entities (tracking
number, location, promised date), and suggest responses or
next-best actions to agents.

Trigger proactive notifications to customers when

exceptions are detected (delays, failed delivery attempts),
reducing inbound complaints and improving perceived
transparency.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a unified customer experience
where issues are handled faster and more consistently,
regardless of the channel the customer chooses. Operations
benefit from better visibility into complaint drivers and
trends, enabling targeted fixes in the underlying logistics
network and improving satisfaction, retention, and service-
level compliance over time.

Supply Chain Resilience & Data Integration

Problem Statement No : TNI26084

Integrating data from various suppliers, carriers,

and internal systems is manually tedious and
often leads to data silos. Solution: Develop an
Automated Supply Chain Data Integration Toolkit
that uses ETL processes and API connectors to
standardize and harmonize diverse datasets
efficiently.

Problem context
Suppliers, carriers, freight forwarders, ERPs, WMS/TMS, and
finance systems all produce data in different formats, at
different frequencies, and via different channels (files,
portals, emails, APIs). This fragmentation forces teams to
manually download, clean, and merge data, which is slow,
‑
error prone, and often results in multiple “truths” for the
same orders, inventory, and shipments. Without a
consistent integration layer, analytics, planning, and
‑
control-tower initiatives stall or stay as one off spreadsheet
exercises.​

Core solution concept

The solution is an Automated Supply Chain Data Integration
Toolkit: a reusable integration layer that uses ETL/ELT
pipelines and configurable API/file connectors to
continuously ingest, standardize, and harmonize data from
suppliers, carriers, and internal systems into a central
warehouse or lake. The toolkit abstracts away partner-
specific quirks and exposes clean, documented data models
(orders, shipments, inventory, events, costs) to downstream
applications and dashboards.​

Functional requirements
Connectivity and ingestion

Prebuilt connectors and templates for common source

types: ERPs, WMS/TMS, supplier portals, carrier tracking
APIs, EDI/CSV/Excel files, and cloud apps.​

‑
Support both batch and near real time/streaming ingestion,
so critical events (delays, stock changes) appear quickly
while master and transactional data can be refreshed on
schedules.​

Standardization and harmonization

Transformation layer to normalize units (kg vs lb, pallets vs

cases), currencies, date/time formats, location codes, and
product identifiers across partners and systems.​

Master-data alignment (common item, location, customer,

and carrier IDs) and business rules to reconcile overlapping
or conflicting records into a single source of truth.​

Automation and governance

Workflow engine to schedule and orchestrate pipelines,

monitor failures, and trigger alerts or retries without
manual intervention.

Data quality checks (completeness, validation against

schemas, reference lookups) with issue logs and dashboards
so data stewards can fix root causes at source.​

Metadata, lineage, and documentation so users know where

each field comes from and how it is transformed,
supporting auditability and trust.​

Architecture and usage

Central data platform (warehouse or lakehouse) where
standardized supply chain entities—orders, shipments,
events, inventory positions, capacities, costs—are stored
and versioned for analytics and applications.​

APIs and semantic views on top of this platform so planning

tools, dashboards, and AI/optimization engines can
consume harmonized data without custom integrations
every time.

Configuration-driven design so new suppliers/carriers can

be onboarded quickly by mapping their feeds to the
canonical models instead of writing bespoke code.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a dramatic reduction in manual
‑
data wrangling, with near real time, consistent visibility
across suppliers, carriers, and internal operations. This
“single source of truth” enables more reliable planning,
faster exception management, and advanced analytics/AI
use cases, while lowering integration costs and making it
much easier to onboard new partners or systems as the
supply chain evolves.

AI & GenAI: Data & Documentation Automation

Problem Statement No : TNI26085

Medical insurance claims processing is slow and

opaque, leading to delays and administrative
overhead for patients and providers. Solution:
Create a GenAI-Powered assistant to analyze
medical documents, validate policy coverage, and
expedite the complex medical insurance claim
submission and review process.
Problem context
Today’s medical insurance claims journey involves manual
reading of prescriptions, discharge summaries, bills, and
policy documents, followed by data entry into insurer
‑ ‑
portals and back and forth clarifications. This slows down
payment, increases administrative overhead, and creates an
opaque experience where patients and providers have little
visibility into status, reasons for queries, or denials.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a GenAI-powered assistant that can “read”
medical and insurance documents, structure the data, check
coverage rules, and orchestrate claim submission and
review workflows. It should sit between patients/providers
and payer systems, guiding users through what is needed,
automatically assembling and validating the claim packet,
and assisting human adjudicators with summarized,
structured information.​

Key capabilities
Intelligent document intake

Use OCR and NLP to extract data from prescriptions,

hospital bills, discharge summaries, lab reports, ID proofs,
and policy documents.​

Normalize key fields (patient, diagnosis/procedure codes,

dates, provider details, itemized charges) into a clean,
machine-readable claim record.

Policy coverage validation

Parse policy wording, riders, and exclusions and map them

to standardized benefit rules (room rent caps, day-care
‑
procedures, waiting periods, co pay, sub-limits).​

Automatically check the structured claim data against these

rules to flag likely covered items, partial coverages, non-
covered services, and documentation gaps before
submission.

Claim drafting and submission

‑
Generate a complete claim form (pre authorization or
‑
reimbursement) pre filled from extracted data, plus a
checklist of required attachments with status
(available/missing/unclear).

Provide a conversational interface to patients, hospital staff,

and insurer teams to clarify ambiguities, answer “What else
is needed?” and refine the claim packet.​

Review and adjudication support

Summarize medical narratives and billing into concise

justifications for adjudicators, highlighting medically
necessary services, lengths of stay, and guideline alignment.​

Surface potential coding anomalies, upcoding patterns, or

fraud indicators to specialized SIU teams using anomaly-
detection models on historical claims.​

Design, governance, and integration

Human-in-the-loop: clinicians, coders, and claims officers
must review GenAI outputs, especially for complex or high-
value claims; the assistant proposes, humans approve.​

Compliance and privacy: strict adherence to health-data

regulations (e.g., HIPAA-like standards), encryption at rest
and in transit, robust access controls, and auditable logs for
every automated action.​

Integration: APIs to existing hospital information systems,

TPAs, and insurer core claims engines, so structured claim
data flows automatically without duplicate entry.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is faster, more accurate claim
submission and adjudication, with significantly reduced
manual data entry and fewer avoidable queries and denials.
Patients and providers gain clearer visibility into what is
covered and why, while insurers benefit from lower
operating costs, improved compliance, and stronger fraud
controls, ultimately improving satisfaction across all
stakeholders in the claims ecosystem

Forecasting & Inventory Management (ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26086

Inventory costs are high due to inaccurate

forecasting, leading to both stockouts and
excessive holding costs. Solution: Develop a
robust Machine Learning model for Inventory
Forecasting that predicts demand using historical
sales data, seasonality, and external factors like
promotions.

Problem context
Rule-of-thumb or spreadsheet forecasts often ignore
seasonality, promotions, and local demand patterns, so
planners either overcompensate with high safety stock or
suffer frequent stockouts. This raises working capital,
markdowns, and lost-sales risk, especially for multi-SKU,
multi-channel businesses where manual forecasting cannot
keep up with complexity.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a supervised ML forecasting engine that
predicts future demand for each SKU (or SKU–location)
using historical sales, calendar effects (seasonality,
holidays), and external drivers such as promotions, price
changes, and events. The model output feeds replenishment
logic (e.g., reorder points, order quantities) so inventory
levels are continuously aligned with expected demand.​

Data and modeling approach

Inputs:

Historical sales by SKU, location, and time (daily/weekly),

with returns and out-of-stock flags.

Calendars: weekdays vs weekends, holidays, seasonal

periods.

Business drivers: promotions, price changes, marketing

campaigns, product launches, and possibly weather or
macro indicators where relevant.​

Models:

Time-series and ML hybrids (e.g., ARIMA or exponential

smoothing plus ML models like Random Forests, Gradient
Boosting, or LSTMs) to capture trends, seasonality, and
nonlinear effects of promotions.​

Hierarchical forecasting (SKU → category → total) and by

location/channel to stabilize estimates for sparse or new
items.​
System and process requirements
Automated pipelines to clean and aggregate data, engineer
features (lags, rolling averages, promo flags), train models,
and evaluate accuracy (e.g., MAPE, RMSE) on a rolling basis.​

Forecast outputs integrated into planning systems, with

configurable service-level targets and safety-stock rules that
turn forecasts into concrete replenishment
recommendations.​

Planners’ workbench for overrides and “what-if” analysis

(e.g., changing promo intensity) and clear explanation of
key forecast drivers to build trust.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is more accurate and granular
demand forecasts, reducing forecast error and enabling
lower average inventory for the same (or better) service
levels. Businesses can cut stockouts and emergency orders,
shrink holding and obsolescence costs, and respond faster
to demand shifts, improving both customer satisfaction and
profitability.

Industrial IoT & Smart Monitoring

Problem Statement No : TNI26087

Environmental monitoring of large facilities is

complex and lacks continuous, detailed visibility
into spatial changes. Solution: Build a Digital Twin
of the facility to enable easy, continuous
environmental monitoring, visualizing real-time
sensor data and simulation results.

Problem context
Large facilities often rely on scattered BMS dashboards,
periodic manual readings, and static floor plans, making it
hard to understand how temperature, humidity, air quality,
noise, or energy use vary across space and time. This
fragmentation limits early detection of hot spots, comfort or
safety issues, and inefficiencies, and makes it difficult to test
‑
“what if” scenarios for upgrades or operational changes.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a Digital Twin of the facility: a dynamic,
spatially accurate virtual model that mirrors buildings,
zones, and key assets and is continuously updated with real-
time environmental sensor data (temperature, humidity,
CO₂/air quality, noise, light, energy meters, flow sensors,
etc.). On top of this live data layer, AI and physics-based
simulations can model airflow, heat transfer, energy
consumption, and pollutant dispersion, allowing operators
to both monitor current conditions and test future scenarios
(layout changes, HVAC strategies, process changes).​

Architecture and data flows

Facility model: start from BIM/CAD or laser-scan data to
create a 3D/2D representation of spaces, equipment, and
utilities, organized into logical zones.​

IoT integration: deploy or integrate existing sensors (HVAC,

sub-meters, IAQ, water, vibration/structural, weather
stations) and stream data with time stamps and coordinates
into the twin via an IoT platform.​

Analytics and simulation:

Real-time dashboards and heatmaps for temperature,
humidity, CO₂, energy intensity, and alarms directly on the
3D twin.

Scenario engines that simulate “what if we change

setpoints, schedules, or insulation?” and estimate impacts
on comfort, energy, and emissions.​

Use cases and operations

Continuous environmental monitoring: visualize current
and historical conditions by zone, detect anomalies (e.g.,
hot/cold spots, high CO₂, unexpected noise), and trigger
alerts and maintenance tasks.​

Sustainability and ESG: track energy and resource

consumption over time, identify high-intensity zones, and
quantify benefits of interventions, supporting green
building certifications and ESG reporting.​

Planning and compliance: test new industrial activities,

process loads, or occupancy patterns in the virtual twin to
assess environmental impacts and compliance with
thresholds before making physical changes.​

Design considerations
Key design choices include the granularity of the model
(whole-building vs line-level), sensor density, and update
frequency, balancing cost with insight. Interoperability with
existing BMS/SCADA and IT systems is essential, as is a clear
governance model for data ownership, access rights, and
cyber-security. A user-friendly visualization layer is crucial
so facility managers, EHS teams, and executives can all
interact with the twin without needing specialist CAD or
simulation expertise.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is continuous, high-resolution
visibility of the facility’s environmental conditions and
performance, replacing static reports and siloed
dashboards. This enables earlier detection of issues, data-
driven energy and comfort optimization, more confident
planning of retrofits or process changes, and stronger
evidence for regulators and stakeholders that
environmental risks and resource use are being actively
managed.

Employees use multiple, disconnected tools for

essential services like IT requests, payroll, and
benefits information. Solution: Develop a Unified
Employee Service Mobile Application providing a
single point of access for all HR, IT, and
administrative services.

Problem context
Today, employees often navigate separate systems for HR,
payroll, helpdesk, approvals, and policies, each with its own
login and UX. This fragmentation wastes time, increases
errors, lowers adoption of self-service, and generates
avoidable calls and emails to HR and IT.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a Unified Employee Service Mobile
Application that acts as a single front door for HR, IT, and
administrative services. It provides an integrated
experience on mobile (and optionally web), while
connecting on the backend to existing HRIS, ITSM, finance,
and identity systems via APIs and middleware.​

Key capabilities
Single sign-on and role-based access so employees,
managers, and admins see relevant tiles and data in one
app.

HR services: payslips, leave and attendance, benefits

overview, policy library, approvals (leave, expenses, HR
workflows).

IT services: raise and track IT tickets, self-service password

and access requests, service catalog, incident notifications.

Admin/other: facilities requests, asset requests, travel

approvals, company announcements, and an employee
directory.​

Experience and architecture

Mobile-first UX with simple navigation, search,
notifications, and support for offline-friendly use where
needed.​

A modular architecture where each service (HR, IT, admin)

is a plug-in connected through APIs/middleware into legacy
systems, allowing gradual rollout and easier maintenance.​

Strong security: MFA, encryption in transit and at rest,

device and session management, and compliance with
internal and regulatory policies.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is higher self-service adoption,
reduced email/ticket noise, and faster resolution times, as
employees use a single app for most routine needs. HR and
IT gain fewer repetitive queries, better data consistency,
and clearer analytics on service usage and bottlenecks,
while employees experience a more modern, consumer-
grade workplace app.

Efficiently managing limited physical resources

(desks, meeting rooms) is difficult without real-
time booking and utilization data. Solution:
Design a smart Organizational Seat and Meeting
Room Management System utilizing IoT sensors
and a centralized booking platform for optimal
resource allocation.

Problem context
In many offices, desks and meeting rooms are booked
through calendars, ad-hoc spreadsheets, or reception,
without any feedback on whether the space is actually
occupied. This leads to ghost bookings, underused areas,
and frustration when people cannot find a workspace
despite apparent “full” bookings. Without reliable
utilization data, facilities teams struggle to right-size office
space, hot-desking policies, or meeting room mixes.
Core solution concept
The solution is a smart Seat and Meeting Room
Management System that combines:

A centralized booking platform (web and mobile) for

employees to reserve seats and rooms.

IoT sensors (occupancy, presence, possibly badge/QR check-

in) that confirm whether resources are actually in use.

A real-time floor map and analytics layer that show

availability and utilization patterns, enabling optimization
of layouts and policies.

Functional requirements
Centralized booking and access

Single app where employees can: find and book desks or

rooms; view existing reservations; check in/out; release
unused bookings; see amenities (screen, VC, capacity).

Integration with calendar and identity systems so invites,

guest access, and user roles are consistent.

IoT sensing and real-time status

Occupancy sensors at desks and rooms (PIR, time-of-flight,

desk pads, or camera-based where appropriate and
compliant) to detect presence and feed real-time status.

Logic to auto-release no-show bookings after a grace period

and flag “camped” use of unbooked rooms.

Optional environment sensors (CO₂, temperature, noise) to

monitor comfort and feed into room/zone
recommendations.
Visualization and wayfinding

Live floor plans showing free/busy seats and rooms, with

filters for capacity, equipment, or zone.

Kiosk or display panels outside rooms/desks with quick-

book, extend, and check-in options.

Analytics and optimization

Dashboards for utilization (by hour, day, team, zone), no-

show rates, peak demand, and room-size mismatch (small
meetings in large rooms).

Decision support for changing layouts (more focus desks vs

collaboration areas), adjusting hot-desking ratios, and
renegotiating leases based on actual occupancy patterns.

Design and governance considerations

Privacy and trust: choose sensing methods and data
granularity that avoid tracking individuals unnecessarily;
communicate clearly what is monitored and why, and
aggregate data for reporting.

Reliability and fallbacks: ensure sensors and booking data

reconcile gracefully; allow manual overrides and support
for visitors and ad-hoc use.

Integration: connect to access control, HR systems, and

collaboration tools so user status and permissions stay in
sync and onboarding/offboarding is automated.

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is higher effective utilization of desks
and meeting rooms, fewer ghost bookings, and a smoother
experience for employees trying to find the right space at
the right time. Facilities and workplace teams gain data-
backed insight to optimize space, reduce real estate and
operating costs, and adapt office layouts and policies as
working patterns evolve.

Logistics & Delivery Optimization (AI/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26090

Customers require up-to-the-minute information

and diverse connectivity options to track their
shipments accurately. Solution: Develop a modern
Real-Time Shipment Tracking platform that
features push notifications, mapping APIs, and
seamless integration with third-party logistics
data.

Problem context
Customers now expect precise, real-time shipment visibility,
not vague status codes or generic delivery windows. Legacy
tracking experiences rely on static web pages, infrequent
status scans, and carrier-specific portals, forcing customers
to juggle multiple links and contact support for updates.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a Real-Time Shipment Tracking platform that
aggregates data from multiple carriers and internal systems
into a unified tracking layer, exposes that to customers
through a responsive UI and mobile experience, and pushes
updates proactively via notifications. It should combine GPS
and telematics feeds, carrier scan events, and IoT sensor
data (where available) with mapping APIs to provide live
location, dynamic ETAs, and condition visibility for
shipments.​

Key features and capabilities

Live tracking and mapping

Map-based views showing shipment location, route history,

and current status at parcel, load, or container level.​

Map and geocoding APIs to display routes, nearby hubs, and

delivery zones, with support for web and mobile clients.​

Push notifications and multi-channel updates

Configurable notifications via app push, SMS, email, and

messaging apps for key milestones (pickup, out for delivery,
delayed, delivered) and exceptions.​

Branded tracking pages and self-service tracking links that

reduce “Where is my order?” calls by giving customers
direct visibility.​

Data integration and connectivity

API and webhook-based integration with carriers, 3PLs,

TMS/WMS, and telematics devices so new status events
update the platform in near real time.​

Multi-carrier support, normalizing different event codes

and schemas into a consistent status model (“in transit”,
“delayed”, “awaiting customs”, “delivered”).​

Architecture and design considerations

Use a scalable, event-driven backend that ingests tracking
events and GPS data streams, enriches them (e.g., with
traffic and weather), and recalculates ETAs frequently.​

Implement strong security and privacy controls for location

and customer data, while offering role-based access for
customers, shippers, and internal operations teams.​

Provide analytics on on-time performance, delay causes,

and route behavior to improve operations and carrier
management over time.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is a significant improvement in
transparency and customer satisfaction: customers can see
exactly where their shipments are, get timely alerts about
delays or delivery attempts, and choose their preferred
channel for updates. Internally, support teams handle fewer
status calls, operations teams gain better visibility for
exception management, and the business can differentiate
on a modern, reliable tracking experience.

Problem Statement No : TNI26091

Delivery personnel and warehouse workers need

hands-free access to tracking and manifest data
while performing physical tasks. Solution: Create
a Voice-Enabled Logistics Assistant tailored for
shipment tracking and task management to
improve efficiency and reduce manual
interaction.

Problem context
Drivers and warehouse staff often need to check tracking
IDs, confirm deliveries, see next stops, or update task status
while physically handling goods, scanners, or vehicles.
Without hands-free access, they must stop work to tap
through apps or call dispatch, which slows workflows and
increases the chance of missed or delayed updates.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a Voice-Enabled Logistics Assistant,
accessible via mobile devices, wearables, or vehicle-
mounted units, that connects to TMS/WMS and tracking
systems. Workers speak natural-language commands
(“What’s the status of shipment 123?”, “Mark order 456
picked”, “What’s my next stop?”) and the assistant reads out
answers or performs actions in the background.​

Key capabilities
Shipment tracking and queries

Real-time responses for “track by ID”, customer name,

route, or delivery window, including ETAs and special
instructions.​

Context-aware follow-ups like “call the consignee” or “send

delay notification” invoked by voice.

Task and workflow management

Voice-driven task lists: pick/putaway instructions, loading

sequences, next-stop navigation, and exception logging
(“package damaged”, “customer not available”).​

Ability to update shipment, stop, or task status hands-free,

syncing with WMS/TMS and route-planning systems.

Operations and safety support

In-cab use for drivers that keeps eyes on the road (wake
word, short commands, read-outs only, no manual
interaction).

Warehouse and yard modes that work with headsets or

smart devices, optimized for noisy environments and
different accents.​

Architecture and integration

Connect the assistant to logistics backends (TMS, WMS,
telematics, tracking APIs) via secure APIs so it can read and
write operational data in real time.​

Use domain-tuned speech recognition and NLU models

trained on logistics vocabulary (SCAC codes, location names,
SKU formats) to reduce errors.

Implement robust identity and access control so actions are

tied to specific users and roles, with full audit logs of voice-
initiated updates.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is higher productivity and fewer
manual device interactions for drivers and warehouse
workers, with more timely and accurate tracking updates.
Dispatchers and customer service teams get fresher data
and fewer status calls, while customers benefit from better,
real-time shipment information powered by events
captured directly at the edge of operations.

Industrial Maintenance & Compliance (IoT/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26092

Operational and technical problems require quick

resolution, but support relies on slow, tiered
human service models. Solution: Develop an
AI/ML Chatbot that acts as a One-Stop Solution,
immediately diagnosing common operational and
technical issues and providing self-service fixes.

Problem context
Traditional tiered support models rely on email, phone, and
manual ticket triage, which are slow and often overloaded
with repetitive “how-to” and configuration questions. This
creates long queues, inconsistent answers, and delayed
resolution for both customers and internal users, even
when the fix is simple and documented.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a one-stop conversational assistant (web,
mobile, and messaging channels) trained on operational
SOPs, knowledge bases, historical tickets, and system logs. It
must understand user intent, diagnose common issues, and
either guide the user through self-service steps or take
direct actions (e.g., reset a setting, run a check) via backend
integrations, while handing off gracefully to humans when
needed.​

Key capabilities
Intent detection and triage
Classify queries (e.g., login issues, configuration errors,
delayed shipment events, system performance problems)
and extract key entities like order IDs, user IDs, or error
codes.​

Decide between answer, guided workflow, or escalation,

reducing load on Level 1 staff.

Self-service diagnosis and resolution

Use decision trees and ML models trained on past tickets to

suggest the most probable root causes and fixes for
recurring issues (e.g., connectivity problems,
misconfigurations, known defects).​

Provide interactive step-by-step guidance (“run this check,

share this screenshot/log”, “click here to refresh the cache”)
and confirm whether the issue is resolved.

Backend actions and automations

Where safe, execute actions via APIs: restarting a job, re-

triggering a workflow, resetting a password, updating a
configuration flag, or re-sending documents, with full
logging.​

For operations-specific tasks (like updating shipment status,

rerouting, or re-generating labels), trigger predefined
automations instead of asking users to navigate multiple
tools.​

Human handoff with context

Escalate seamlessly to agents when confidence is low or

policy requires it, passing full conversation history, detected
intent, and diagnostic data so users do not have to repeat
themselves.​
Allow agents to work in the same interface, with AI-
suggested replies and knowledge snippets to further speed
up resolution.

Design and governance considerations

The chatbot must be trained on curated, up-to-date content
and tuned continuously using feedback, resolved tickets,
and performance metrics like containment rate and first-
contact resolution. Guardrails are needed to avoid unsafe
changes: high-impact actions should require user
confirmation or human approval, and all interactions must
be auditable and compliant with security and privacy
policies.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is significantly faster response and
resolution for common operational and technical issues,
with a large share of tickets fully resolved by the assistant
without human intervention. Support teams see reduced
repetitive workload and can focus on complex problems,
while users experience 24/7, consistent, and guided help
through a single conversational entry point instead of
navigating multiple portals or waiting in queues.

Logistics & Delivery Optimization (AI/ML)

Problem Statement No : TNI26093

Logistics routes are often static, failing to account

for real-time variables that affect fuel
consumption and delivery time. Solution:
Engineer a dynamic Route Optimization algorithm
using real-time GPS and traffic data to minimize
fuel consumption and maximize delivery
efficiency.

Problem context
Static routes ignore evolving conditions like traffic jams,
‑
accidents, roadworks, weather, and last minute order
changes, causing longer drive times, higher fuel burn, and
missed time windows. As fleets and stop counts grow,
manual replanning becomes impossible in real time, and
drivers often improvise, leading to inconsistent
performance and poor visibility.​

Core solution concept

The solution is a route optimization engine that ingests real-
time GPS positions, live traffic and incident data, and
delivery constraints to generate and continuously update
optimal multi-stop routes. It minimizes a composite cost
function that explicitly values lower fuel consumption
‑
(distance, idle time, stop go traffic) and on-time delivery,
subject to constraints like time windows, vehicle capacity,
driver hours, and service priorities.​

Data and algorithm design

Inputs:

Orders and stops: locations, time windows, service

durations, priorities, and required vehicle types.

Fleet: vehicle capacities, fuel type/consumption models,

driver shifts and legal limits.
Real-time: GPS location and speed for each vehicle, traffic
speeds and incidents, road restrictions, and optionally
weather.​

Optimization approach:

‑
Use VRP variants (time windowed VRP, VRP with pickup
and delivery) solved via heuristics/metaheuristics such as
savings algorithms, tabu search, or genetic algorithms,
tuned for speed.​

Add a dynamic layer that incrementally updates only

affected routes when events occur (new order, traffic
incident, vehicle breakdown), rather than recomputing
‑
everything from scratch, enabling near real time
responsiveness.​

Incorporate machine learning models to predict travel

times and likely congestion, improving ETA and cost
estimates beyond static speed assumptions.​

System and driver interaction

Dispatcher view: live map with planned vs actual routes,
ETAs, and KPIs such as distance, fuel cost estimate, and
‑
on time performance, plus controls to lock or relax specific
‑
constraints (e.g., must visit stops).​

‑ ‑
Driver app: turn by turn navigation that automatically
updates when the backend engine reroutes due to new
information, surfacing only necessary changes and avoiding
‑
disruptive frequent re plans.

Business rules: configurable policies on when to reroute

(e.g., if delay exceeds X minutes), which customers can be
resequenced, and how to trade off fuel vs time vs promised
windows.
Expected outcome
The expected outcome is shorter average route distances
and times, lower fuel consumption and emissions, and
‑
higher on time delivery percentages, especially in
congested or variable environments. Operations also gain
better predictability and visibility through accurate,
dynamically updated ETAs, which in turn improves driver
productivity, customer satisfaction, and fleet utilization.

Industrial IoT & Smart Monitoring

Problem Statement No : TNI26094

Warehouse management lacks granular, real-time

visibility into the exact location of goods, leading
to slow picking and inventory errors. Solution:
Implement an integrated Warehouse Management
System based on RFID or QR code tracking to
provide instant, highly accurate location and
inventory status.

Problem context
Manual or purely paper-based location tracking quickly
becomes inaccurate as pallets are moved, partial picks
occur, and locations are reused. This drives long search
times, mispicks, and cycle count discrepancies, which in
turn inflate safety stocks and erode service levels.
Automated identification and a WMS that updates inventory
with every physical movement can break this cycle.​
Core solution concept
Implement an integrated Warehouse Management System
that uses RFID or QR/barcode labels on items, cases, or
pallets, and associates each scan/read with a specific
location (rack, bin, floor slot). Fixed readers (portals, dock
doors), handhelds, or vehicle-mounted scanners update
stock and location in real time as goods are received, put
away, moved, picked, and shipped. Users see a live map or
list of locations for each SKU and can trust that on-screen
inventory matches reality.​

Technology options and flows

Identification

QR/barcodes: low-cost labels scanned with handheld or

wearable devices; require line of sight and individual scans
but are cheap and simple.

RFID: tags read automatically and in bulk from several

metres away without line of sight, via portals or handheld
readers, enabling real-time, high-throughput tracking at
doors and aisles.​

Core processes

Inbound: scan/read at receiving to create or confirm ASNs,

then at put-away to bind each unit/pallet to a specific
location.

Internal moves: every relocation is scanned/read so the

WMS updates the item–location relationship immediately.

Picking and shipping: pickers are directed to precise

locations; scans validate correct item and quantity, and
portal reads at dock doors confirm what actually left the
building.​
System capabilities
Real-time inventory and location view per SKU, lot, and
storage unit, searchable by ID or attributes.

Task management (directed put-away, picking,

replenishment) that uses accurate location data to optimize
routes and reduce travel time.

Exceptions and analytics: automatic detection of

mismatches (e.g., unexpected tag at a location), dashboards
on inventory accuracy, dwell times, and heat maps of
activity to support continuous improvement.​

Design considerations
Choice between RFID and QR/barcode depends on item
value, volume, and required automation level: RFID gives
higher automation and bulk reads but higher tag and
infrastructure cost; QR/barcodes are cheaper but more
labor-intensive. Change management is critical: process
discipline (always scan/read on movement) and clear SOPs
matter as much as technology. Integration with existing ERP
and TMS ensures that warehouse truth flows into
purchasing, planning, and order promising.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is sharply reduced search time and
mispicks, higher inventory accuracy, and faster picking and
cycle counting, leading to better service levels and lower
working capital. Over time, the warehouse can support
more advanced optimization (slotting, wave planning, labor
planning) because the underlying inventory and location
data is complete and trustworthy.

Enterprise Digitalization & Workflow

Problem Statement No : TNI26095

Many organizations manage a large number of

documents and approvals across departments.
Manual handling often leads to delays and lack of
visibility. Requirement: Develop a centralized
digital system for storing, retrieving, and sharing
documents with secure access and automated
reminders.

Core system concept

The goal is to replace scattered email threads, local folders,
‑
and ad hoc share drives with a single, role-secured
repository for all organizational documents. This system
must support fast search, controlled sharing, approval
workflows, and automated notifications so stakeholders
always know where a document is in its lifecycle.​

Essential features
Centralized storage and search

Structured folders/workspaces for departments and

projects, with metadata and full-text indexing for quick
retrieval by keyword, tag, or status.​

Version control so users always see the latest approved

document, with access to history when needed.​

Secure access and sharing

Role- and group-based permissions (view, edit, approve,
share) plus audit trails of who accessed or changed what
and when.​

Secure internal and external sharing links with expiry,

watermarks, and optional e-signature integration for
contracts and approvals.​

Workflow automation and reminders

Configurable approval workflows (single or multi-level) that

route documents to the right approvers based on type,
department, or value.​

Automated reminders and escalations for pending

approvals and upcoming review/renewal dates (e.g.,
policies, contracts), plus dashboards for tracking
turnaround times.​

Integration and governance

Integrations with email, office suites, and key business
systems (ERP/CRM/HR) so documents can be captured and
linked directly from existing tools.​

Defined retention policies, backups, and compliance

controls (e.g., GDPR, sector regulations) to manage
document lifecycles and support audits.​

Expected outcome
The expected outcome is faster document turnaround,
fewer lost or duplicated files, and clear visibility into
approval status across departments. Organizations gain
higher productivity and better compliance, while employees
benefit from a single, reliable place to store, find, and
collaborate on documents with automated nudges keeping
processes moving.

Energy & Resource Optimization Industries are

looking at ways to optimize energy usage and
reduce wastage in daily operations. Requirement:
Create a smart monitoring solution that tracks
energy consumption in real time and provides
actionable suggestions for conservation.

Core solution concept

The system combines IoT energy meters and sensors at
panel, line, or equipment level with a central platform that
ingests consumption data every few seconds or minutes.
This live data is visualized through dashboards showing
total usage, breakdowns by area or process, and KPIs like
energy per unit produced so teams can immediately see
anomalies and trends.​

Architecture and data collection

Edge and device layer: smart meters, current transformers,
and environmental sensors installed on main incomers,
subpanels, and major loads (HVAC, compressors, furnaces,
motors) send data via gateways or PLC integrations. These
devices measure parameters such as kWh, kW demand,
power factor, voltage, and sometimes temperature or
pressure to link energy to process conditions.​
Platform layer: an on-premise or cloud platform aggregates,
normalizes, and stores time-series data, with role-based
access and plant, building, or site hierarchies to support
multi-site deployments and benchmarking.​

Analytics and actionable suggestions

The solution applies analytics to convert raw data into
concrete conservation actions:

Rule-based alerts flag abnormal consumption (e.g., high

baseload at night, sudden spikes on a line, low power
factor), and notify via email, SMS, or integrated
maintenance systems so teams can investigate leaks, stuck
valves, or equipment faults quickly.​

Dashboards and reports highlight:

Peak demand periods and load profiles to suggest shifting

discretionary loads to off-peak times.

Inefficient assets with high kWh per unit or poor power

factor, supporting decisions such as scheduling
maintenance, optimizing setpoints, or replacing equipment.

Comparison of actual energy use against baselines and

targets to quantify savings from interventions and support
ESG reporting.​

Conservation features and user workflows

To make recommendations actionable, the system should:

Provide guided “opportunity lists” such as “reduce idle

compressor runtime,” “adjust HVAC schedule in low-
occupancy zones,” or “enable demand response for non-
critical loads,” each with an estimated kWh and cost saving
based on historical data.​
Support automated control where appropriate, for example
by integrating with BMS or PLCs to shed or throttle non-
critical loads during defined peak events or when a demand
threshold is about to be breached, while logging actions for
review.​

Expected outcomes
With continuous monitoring and targeted suggestions,
facilities typically reduce avoidable wastage, improve peak-
demand management, and make better investment
decisions on retrofits and equipment upgrades. Over time,
the organization gains a culture of data-driven energy
management, using the solution as a daily operational tool
rather than a periodic audit exercise, supporting both cost
reduction and sustainability goals

Workplace Communication & Collaboration

Teams in different locations often face challenges
in communication and knowledge-sharing..
Requirement: Build an easy-to-use platform for
seamless collaboration, knowledge management,
and project tracking.

Problem description
Distributed and hybrid teams often juggle multiple tools for
chat, meetings, files, and tasks, which scatters information
and makes knowledge hard to find later. This fragmentation
slows decision-making, causes duplicate work, and makes it
difficult to see who is doing what and by when, especially
across time zones.

Expected outcome: Teams experience smoother

communication, faster decisions, and better transparency
as conversations, documents, and project status live in a
single, searchable platform instead of siloed channels.

Core platform capabilities

Communication:

Channel-based messaging for teams and projects, plus

direct messages and integrated video/voice meetings.

Threaded discussions and reactions to keep context clear

and reduce email noise.

Knowledge management:

Central wiki/knowledge base for SOPs, FAQs, and best

practices, organized by team, topic, or product.

Full-text search across messages, documents, and wiki

pages so people can quickly find prior answers and
decisions.

Project and task tracking:

Boards and lists (Kanban, timelines) to manage tasks,

owners, deadlines, and dependencies.

Links between tasks and discussions/documents so every

work item has its context attached.
Design and integration
User experience:

Simple, consistent UI across web and mobile, with clear

navigation for “Chat”, “Docs/Wiki”, and “Projects”.

Personal dashboards summarizing assigned tasks,

upcoming meetings, and recent document changes.

Integration and security:

Connectors to email, office suites, calendars, and existing

tools so files and events sync automatically.

Role-based access, SSO, and audit logs to control who can

see or edit which spaces while meeting compliance needs.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) Challenge

Problem Statement No : TNI26100

Throughput & Scalability Gap AM processes are

currently too slow and possess build volumes too
limited to be economically competitive with high-
speed, high-volume traditional manufacturing
methods for most serial production applications.

Objective: Develop a method or technology that significantly

accelerates Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes and
substantially increases their effective build volume to
achieve economic competitiveness with high-speed, high-
volume traditional manufacturing (e.g., injection molding,
stamping) for serial production applications.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Low Throughput: Current AM build speeds (print rate,
deposition rate) are inherently too slow compared to the
output rates of established high-volume manufacturing
techniques.

Limited Build Volume: The physical size constraints (build

envelopes) of existing AM systems are typically too limited
to economically produce large parts or a sufficient quantity
of smaller parts in a single batch to justify the cost per part
for serial production.

Economic Non-Viability: The combination of low speed and

limited volume results in a high cost per part, making AM
processes uneconomical for most serial production runs
where traditional methods currently dominate.

Need: A fundamental shift in AM technology to close the

throughput and scalability gap, allowing the process to
move beyond prototyping and specialized low-volume
applications into mainstream, high-volume industrial
manufacturing.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) Challenge

Problem Statement No : TNI26101

Post-Processing Bottleneck: The majority of AM

parts require manual, labor-intensive, and time-
consuming post-processing (e.g., support removal,
surface finishing) that significantly increases the
total manufacturing cycle time and cost per part.

Objective: Develop automated, integrated, and scalable post-

processing solutions for Additive Manufacturing (AM) that
drastically reduce or eliminate manual labor, decrease
overall manufacturing cycle time, and lower the cost per
part.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Labor Intensity: Current post-processing steps (especially
support structure removal and surface finishing) often rely
on manual labor, leading to high operational costs,
variability in quality, and long turnaround times.

Cycle Time Spike: Post-processing can frequently consume a

significant portion (sometimes more than 50%) of the total
manufacturing cycle time, effectively nullifying the speed
advantage gained during the printing phase.

Lack of Integration: Post-processing methods are often

disconnected from the AM machine itself, requiring
specialized, standalone equipment and manual transfer of
parts, which limits overall factory automation and
throughput.

Material and Geometry Dependence: Effective post-

processing solutions are highly dependent on the AM
technology used, the part's material (e.g., polymer vs.
metal), and its geometric complexity, preventing a single,
universal automated solution.

Need: The integration of smart, automated, and non-manual

methods into the AM workflow to transform post-processing
from a cost- and time-intensive bottleneck into a
streamlined, consistent, and scalable step.

Cost Justification and ROI: The high initial capital

expenditure for industrial AM systems, combined
with expensive feedstock materials, makes
achieving a justifiable return on investment (ROI)
difficult under current cost-calculation models
used by manufacturers.

Objective: Develop a robust, comprehensive financial model

for Additive Manufacturing (AM) adoption that moves
beyond a simple "cost-per-part" comparison and
successfully quantifies the strategic, systemic, and long-term
benefits of AM to justify the high initial Capital Expenditure
(CapEx) and specialized operational costs.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Incomplete Cost Modeling: Current cost-justification models
(traditional ROI/NPV) fail to accurately capture the full
value of AM. They primarily focus on direct part costs,
overlooking significant indirect benefits such as:

Supply chain simplification (reduced inventory,

decentralized production).

Accelerated product development and time-to-market.

Design freedom leading to superior part performance (e.g.,

lightweighting, consolidation).

Reduced tooling costs and opportunity costs.

High CapEx Barrier: The initial purchase price of industrial

AM systems is a major capital investment , creating a
significant hurdle for CFOs who require a clear,
quantifiable, and relatively short-term Return on
Investment (ROI).

Expensive Operational Costs (OpEx): Expensive specialized

feedstock materials (e.g., metal powders) and specialized
labor/maintenance contribute to a high Operating Expense,
making AM challenging to justify against high-volume, low-
cost traditional methods.

Difficulty Quantifying Intangibles: Assigning a monetary

value to strategic benefits, like improved part performance,
brand differentiation, or increased customer satisfaction, is
difficult, leading them to be undervalued or excluded from
formal financial models.

Need: A standardized, industry-accepted Total Cost of

Ownership (TCO) and Value Chain ROI framework that
systematically translates the unique technical and logistical
advantages of AM into tangible financial metrics that can be
used for confident capital investment decisions.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) Challenge

Problem Statement No : TNI26103

AM processes lack reliable, in-situ quality control

mechanisms, leading to unacceptable part-to-part
variation, internal defects (like porosity), and
inconsistencies in density and mechanical
properties that preclude use in critical
applications.

Objective: Develop and integrate reliable, real-time (in-situ)

Quality Control (QC) and monitoring systems into Additive
Manufacturing (AM) processes to detect, localize, and
ideally correct defects during the build, thereby achieving
consistent, repeatable, and certified mechanical properties
necessary for critical applications.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Lack of In-Situ Monitoring: AM processes currently lack
comprehensive sensors and algorithms capable of
monitoring crucial process parameters (e.g., melt pool
temperature, layer uniformity, powder spreading) in real-
time. This forces reliance on time-consuming, expensive,
and often destructive post-process inspection.

Defect Formation and Variation: Uncontrolled thermal

gradients, inadequate powder bed conditions, and machine
instabilities lead to unpredictable internal defects (like
porosity, voids, and unfused powder) and significant part-
to-part variation in density and mechanical strength.

Traceability and Certification: Without continuous,

verifiable data collected during the build process, it is
difficult to establish the high level of traceability required
for parts in safety-critical industries (e.g., aerospace,
medical implants), hindering widespread adoption.

Correlation Gap: There is a persistent difficulty in robustly

correlating real-time process data with the final part
properties. Current models are often insufficient to reliably
predict material performance based on in-situ readings.
Need: The deployment of advanced sensing, machine
learning, and closed-loop control systems that create a
"digital twin" of the build, guaranteeing that every
fabricated part meets stringent quality and performance
specifications without the need for extensive post-build
validation.

Part Structure Anisotropy: Finished AM

components exhibit material anisotropy, meaning
mechanical properties (like strength and fatigue
life) vary significantly depending on the direction
of the build, making performance difficult to
predict and certify.

📏 Problem Statement Description: Part Structure

Anisotropy
Objective: Develop process parameters, material
formulations, or post-processing techniques that eliminate
or drastically mitigate material anisotropy in Additive
Manufacturing (AM) components, ensuring consistent and
predictable mechanical properties (such as strength,
ductility, and fatigue life) regardless of the part's orientation
relative to the build platform.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Directional Dependence: The layered, directional nature of
most AM processes (especially Powder Bed Fusion) creates
microstructural features (e.g., elongated grain structures,
preferential defects at layer interfaces) that cause
anisotropy. This means a part is weaker or has lower fatigue
life when stress is applied perpendicular to the build layers
(Z-direction) compared to the plane of the layers (X-Y
direction).

Performance Uncertainty: The variation in mechanical

properties based on build direction makes performance
prediction difficult and complicates the certification process
for critical applications, requiring conservative design
factors and extensive, expensive testing.

Process Parameter Sensitivity: Anisotropy is highly sensitive

to subtle changes in process parameters (e.g., laser power,
scan speed, pre-heat temperature), making it challenging to
establish a universally isotropic and reliable manufacturing
"window."

Microstructure Control: A lack of precise, localized control

over the thermal history during the rapid solidification and
cooling process prevents the engineering of an equiaxed,
homogeneous grain structure necessary for isotropic
behavior.

Need: New AM process controls or material designs that

result in finished components with near-isotropic material
properties, allowing engineers to design parts based on
consistent mechanical data and accelerating qualification
for high-performance and safety-critical sectors.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) Challenge

Problem Statement No : TNI26105

Lack of Standardization and Certification: The AM

industry lacks globally recognized and adopted
industry standards (ISO/ASTM) for material
qualification, process validation, and part
acceptance criteria, creating a major barrier for
regulatory compliance in sectors like aerospace
and medical.

Objective: Accelerate the development, consensus-building,

and global adoption of comprehensive industry standards
(e.g., ISO/ASTM) and certification protocols for Additive
Manufacturing (AM) processes, materials, and end-part
quality criteria, thereby enabling widespread regulatory
compliance and trust in critical applications.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Inconsistent Material Qualification: There is a lack of
standardized methods for qualifying and characterizing
feedstock materials (powders, resins, wires) across different
AM machine types, leading to inconsistent input quality and
hindering material traceability.

Process Validation Difficulty: Manufacturers cannot easily

prove that their AM process is consistently stable and
repeatable because there are no universally accepted
metrics or procedures for process validation. This is a major
roadblock for heavily regulated industries like aerospace
(FAA) and medical (FDA).
Absence of Acceptance Criteria: Without globally
recognized standards for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
methods, defect size limitations, and minimum mechanical
property thresholds, defining clear part acceptance criteria
is subjective and varies widely across companies.

Regulatory Hesitation: Regulatory bodies are slow to fully

embrace AM due to the inherent complexity and variability
of the processes, combined with the industry's lag in
providing well-defined, consensus-based standards that
guarantee safety and reliability.

Need: A collaborative, industry-wide effort, formalized

through international organizations, to rapidly establish
and implement a framework of standards that provides a
clear "rulebook" for design, production, testing, and
documentation of AM parts, thus accelerating their
integration into safety-critical supply chains.

support accurate simulation and reliable engineering
design.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Narrow Material Selection: The number of materials
optimized for AM processes (such as Laser Powder Bed
Fusion or Fused Deposition Modeling) is significantly
limited compared to the vast material options available for
traditional manufacturing methods (casting, forging,
machining). This restricts AM's application in many high-
demand industrial sectors.

Lack of Standardized Data: A critical shortage exists in

comprehensive, standardized, and publicly accessible
material data sheets for AM-produced components. The
properties are often highly variable due to process
parameters, making existing data unreliable for engineers.

Inadequate Simulation Input: Accurate computational

modeling and simulation (e.g., Finite Element Analysis)
require extensive, statistically robust data (tensile strength,
fatigue life, creep, etc.) that account for the anisotropic
nature of AM parts. This data is largely missing, leading to
conservative designs and costly physical testing.

Material Development Lag: The development and

qualification time for new AM materials are excessively
long and expensive, creating a bottleneck that prevents the
industry from quickly leveraging materials that offer
superior performance characteristics (e.g., high-
temperature capability, specific dielectric properties).

Need: A focused, collaborative effort to accelerate the

development, processing, and characterization of new, high-
performance materials for AM, coupled with the creation of
standardized, validated material databases essential for
integrating AM into mainstream, data-driven engineering
workflows.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) Challenge

Problem Statement No : TNI26107

Single-Material Constraint: Most commercial AM

technologies are restricted to processing a single
material type per build, limiting the ability to
create complex, multi-functional parts with
localized, varying material properties in a single
component.

Objective: Develop and commercialize Additive

Manufacturing (AM) technologies capable of precisely
processing multiple distinct, high-performance materials
within a single build to enable the fabrication of complex,
multi-functional parts with localized and optimized
material properties.

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Functional Limitation: The inability of most commercial AM
systems to switch between or combine materials within a
single part limits the creation of truly functional
components that require localized properties, such as:

Integrated electronics: Placing conductive traces within a

structural insulator.

Varying stiffness: Creating soft, compliant sections attached

to rigid, load-bearing sections.

Thermal management: Integrating high-conductivity

materials with structural materials.

Material Incompatibility: Different materials require vastly

different processing conditions (e.g., melting temperature,
curing energy, deposition rate). Integrating these disparate
processes into one machine, or ensuring interlayer
adhesion between materials, poses a significant technical
challenge.

Contamination and Cross-Talk: In powder-based multi-

material systems, preventing cross-contamination of
materials is extremely difficult, which can compromise the
final properties and chemical purity of the part.

Design Complexity: Designing and slicing software for

multi-material parts is far more complex than for single-
material builds, requiring advanced tools to specify and
manage complex, three-dimensional material gradients and
interfaces.

Need: A new generation of flexible, integrated AM platforms

that can seamlessly manage and process diverse materials,
unlocking the capability to create previously impossible
meta-structures and highly specialized, consolidated
systems in a single manufacturing step.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) Challenge

Problem Statement No : TNI26108

Underutilized Design Freedom (DfAM Gap):

Engineers often fail to fully leverage the design
freedom of AM, instead applying Design for
Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) principles poorly
or not at all, resulting in parts that are not
optimized for weight, complexity, or cost.

Objective: Bridge the knowledge and tool gap between

traditional engineering design practices and the full
potential of Additive Manufacturing (AM) by developing
intuitive, integrated Design for Additive Manufacturing
(DfAM) software tools and robust educational frameworks
that empower engineers to create parts fully optimized for
AM's unique capabilities (e.g., complexity, material
reduction, and consolidation).

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Traditional Mindset: Engineers trained in traditional
manufacturing (subtractive/formative) often default to
familiar design rules (Design for Machining or Molding),
leading to "straight-replacement" parts that fail to leverage
AM's key benefits like internal lattice structures, part
consolidation, or topological optimization.

Inadequate DfAM Tools: Current CAD and simulation

software tools often lack the intuitive, seamless integration
necessary to easily implement complex DfAM techniques
(such as generative design, topology optimization, and
lattice structure creation) without a steep learning curve or
excessive computational effort.

Lack of Quantitative Guidance: Engineers need clear,

quantitative guidance on the trade-offs between design
complexity, print time, material cost, and post-processing
effort. The absence of such integrated, real-time feedback
during the design phase leads to suboptimal and expensive
final parts.

Skill and Education Gap: There is a critical shortage of

engineers and designers formally trained in advanced
DfAM principles, including how to design for specific AM
processes (e.g., designing supports for PBF vs. FDM).

Need: The creation of user-friendly, intelligent software

platforms that embed DfAM constraints and optimization
algorithms directly into the design workflow, transforming
AM from a novel production method into a standard, fully
optimized engineering solution.

Digital Thread and Data Integrity: Industrial
operations lack a secure, unified digital
infrastructure capable of managing, tracking, and
protecting the massive volume of process-specific
data generated from the CAD file through final
inspection, which is essential for part traceability
and intellectual property protection.

Objective: Establish a secure, unified, and continuous

Digital Thread for Additive Manufacturing (AM) operations,
integrating all process-specific data from the initial CAD file
through post-processing and final inspection. This
infrastructure must guarantee data integrity, traceability,
and robust protection of intellectual property (IP).

Key Challenges & Gaps:

Fragmented Data Systems: Data generated at each stage of
the AM lifecycle (Design/CAD, build preparation, process
monitoring, post-processing, inspection) resides in
disconnected, proprietary systems and file formats. This
prevents the creation of a seamless, auditable history for a
single part.

Lack of Data Integrity and Traceability: Without a unified

platform, it is extremely difficult to verify that the final part
accurately reflects the original design intent and that every
process step was performed correctly. This lack of part-level
traceability is a critical barrier to certification in regulated
industries.

Intellectual Property (IP) Risk: The digital nature of AM (e.g.,

design files, build parameter recipes) makes IP vulnerable
to theft or unauthorized modification throughout the supply
chain. Current systems lack the necessary encryption,
access control, and digital rights management to protect
these critical assets.

Process Feedback Loop Deficiency: The inability to easily

and reliably analyze massive, high-volume sensor data
(from in-situ monitoring) and correlate it with final part
quality means that crucial insights are lost, preventing the
development of effective, data-driven optimization and
closed-loop process control.

Need: The deployment of a secure, blockchain-enabled or

equivalent infrastructure that automatically captures,
timestamps, encrypts, and links all relevant design and
process data, forming an immutable Digital Thread
necessary for qualification, supply chain security, and
continuous manufacturing improvement.

Optimize the layout of a small manufacturing unit

to reduce waste, idle time, and material handling
costs. Optimize the process planning and sub-
assembly layout for manufacturing the small
plastic housing components and electronic sensor
sub-assembly of a low-cost, handheld diagnostic
strip reader.

1. Industrial context
The handheld diagnostic strip reader is used in medical or
point-of-care testing and consists mainly of:
Small plastic housing components (outer case, internal
guides, holders).

An electronic sensor sub-assembly (PCB, sensors,

LEDs/optics, connectors, wiring).

These parts are produced and assembled in a small

manufacturing unit with limited floor space, basic material
handling (trolleys, bins), and shared resources.

2. Current challenges
High material handling effort: Components travel long,
indirect paths between machines, stores, and assembly
benches, increasing time, effort, and risk of damage.

Waste and idle time: Operators and machines wait for parts,
tools, or information due to poor coordination and
unbalanced workstations.

Poor visibility of flow: Sub-assemblies (plastic parts and

sensor units) do not arrive at final assembly in a
synchronized way, causing excess WIP in some areas and
shortages in others.

3. Problem objective
Layout optimization:
Optimize the layout of the small manufacturing unit to
reduce travel distance, unnecessary handling, and
congestion, thereby reducing waste and idle time.

Process and sub-assembly optimization:

Optimize the process planning and sub-assembly layouts
for:

Manufacturing the small plastic housing components.

Manufacturing and assembling the electronic sensor sub-

assembly.
The goal is to create a smooth, continuous and balanced
material flow feeding the final assembly of the diagnostic
reader.

Input:Map the current state using process flow charts and

spaghetti diagrams to show movements of materials and
operators.

List all operations for:

Plastic housing: material storage → moulding/forming →

trimming/finishing → inspection → storage.

Sensor sub-assembly: PCB preparation → component

assembly/soldering → sensor mounting →
testing/calibration → inspection → storage.

Identify forms of waste (transport, waiting, excess

inventory, motion, rework) in the current layout and
process flow.

Propose:

A revised plant layout (e.g., product- or cell-based) that

groups related operations and shortens material paths.

Improved sub-assembly layouts so parts move in one

direction with minimal backtracking.

Process planning changes (batch sizes, buffers, workstation

balancing) that synchronize plastic housing and sensor sub-
assembly with final assembly.

5. Expected outcome (must be stated)

Reduced material handling and travel distance:
Shorter, more direct routes for plastic components and
sensor sub-assemblies from raw material to finished
product.
Lower waste and idle time:
Less waiting for parts and tools, better workstation
utilization, and smoother production flow.

More reliable sub-assembly supply:

Well-defined sub-assembly layouts ensure that plastic
housings and sensor units arrive at final assembly in the
right quantity and sequence, reducing WIP and stockouts.

Improved productivity and cost efficiency:

Higher throughput of diagnostic strip readers, reduced
handling and labor effort, and lower overall manufacturing
cost per unit.

Electrical Power & Energy Management

Problem Statement No : TNI26111

Electrical Power management The Context and

Setup The companys facility draws power from a
single External Board (EB) Incomer which splits to
supply two primary internal units: Feeder 1
(equipped with a Solar PV system) and Feeder 2 (a
large Normal Load, e.g., Cold Storage). The system
is designed for maximum self-consumption,
meaning any solar generation in Feeder 1 that
exceeds its immediate needs automatically
reverses its flow onto the main internal busbar,
where it is immediately consumed by Feeder 2 (or
other nearest loads). Crucially, the company has
already installed the necessary physical
infrastructure, including bidirectional energy
meters on both Feeder 1 and Feeder 2, and the
Main Incomer.

The Core Technical Issue: Data Attribution Failure

The essential problem is the lack of a data acquisition or

Energy Management System (EMS) layer capable of
processing the combined readings to correctly attribute the
power consumed by Feeder 2. While the meter at Feeder 2
registers the total power consumed, it cannot chemically or
electronically distinguish the source of that power.

The system fails to segregate the known consumption of

Feeder 2 into its two components:

1)Internal Solar Power (Export from Feeder 1): The energy

supplied by the surplus generation from Unit 1.

2)External Grid Power (Import from EB): The residual

energy required from the main utility line.

TThe Solution Requirement The problem demands the

implementation of a software or analytical layer that
ingests the readings from all three bidirectional meters
(Incomer, Feeder 1 Export, and Feeder 2 Import) and
applies a mathematical reconciliation logic to quantify, in
real-time, the exact amount of power supplied to Feeder 2
by internal solar (xx) and by the EB grid (yy), thereby
enabling accurate financial reporting and operational
optimization.

Design and Development of a Low-Power ESP32-

Based Self-Balancing Robot
KALM-RA-01
The objective of this project is to design, develop, and
demonstrate a self-balancing two-wheeled robotic
platform that operates under strict constraints of low
weight, low voltage, and embedded control. The robot
must have a total weight not exceeding 3 kg, be powered
by a maximum supply voltage of 8 volts, and use an
ESP32 microcontroller as the sole unit for sensing,
processing, and control.

The robot shall be capable of maintaining dynamic balance

in a controlled indoor environment by continuously sensing
its tilt using onboard inertial sensors and applying real-time
corrective actions through closed-loop motor control. In
addition to maintaining balance, the robot must be able to
perform controlled motion, including forward,
backward, left, and right movement, without losing
stability.

This problem addresses the challenge of integrating

mechanical design, embedded systems, sensor fusion,
control algorithms, and power management within
constrained resources. The system must demonstrate
reliable performance, quick response to disturbances, and
smooth maneuverability while remaining energy-efficient.

Solving this problem is significant as self-balancing robots

form the foundation of many modern technologies such as
personal transporters, humanoid robots, and autonomous
mobile platforms. A successful implementation provides
practical exposure to real-world robotics challenges and
establishes a scalable platform for future enhancements
such as autonomous navigation, wireless control, and
intelligent decision-making systems.

Climbing Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) with
FPV Control

KALM-RA-02
The objective of this project is to design and develop a
compact unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) capable of
navigating flat terrain and climbing standard staircases
while operating under strict size, weight, and power
constraints. The UGV must be able to fit within a 2 ft × 2 ft
square footprint, have a total weight not exceeding 5 kg,
and be powered by a maximum of 12 V DC, with a
minimum operational runtime of 30 minutes.

The vehicle shall be capable of climbing standard

residential staircases, defined by a maximum riser height
of approximately 7 inches (17.8 cm) and a minimum tread
depth of 10 inches (25.4 cm), while maintaining stability
and traction. The design should prioritize safe and reliable
stair ascent and descent in a controlled environment.

The UGV must be remotely operated using an RF-based

controller and provide a live camera feed to the operator,
enabling first-person view (FPV) navigation. This requires
integration of a camera system, wireless video transmission,
and responsive motion control to ensure precise
maneuvering without direct line-of-sight.

This problem is significant as stair-climbing UGVs are

critical in applications such as search and rescue,
surveillance, inspection of hazardous environments,
and defense operations, where human access may be
limited or unsafe. Successfully solving this problem
demonstrates effective integration of mechanical design,
power-efficient drive systems, embedded electronics,
wireless communication, and real-time visual feedback
within constrained physical and electrical limits, forming a
foundation for advanced autonomous ground robotic
systems.

Design of a Miniaturized Fluid Viscous Damper

KALM-CM-01
The objective of this project is to design, specify, and
develop a compact fluid viscous damper suitable for
precision vibration and shock attenuation in space-
constrained mechanical systems. The damper must have an
overall end-to-end length of less than 100 mm and be
capable of fitting within a cylindrical enclosure of 30 mm
diameter, ensuring compatibility with compact assemblies.

The damper shall be mounted using spherical bearings at

both ends to accommodate angular misalignment, with
mounting pin outer diameter (OD) limited to 5 mm. The
mechanical interface must include a clevis-type mounting
arrangement to allow secure attachment and ease of
assembly while maintaining structural integrity under
dynamic loading.

The internal design shall consist of a precision-machined

piston head, piston rod, and fluid chamber filled with a
suitable viscous damping fluid. The piston head must
incorporate orifice or valve features to control damping
characteristics within defined force and velocity limits. A
high-performance seal system (including piston seal and
end cap seal) must be designed to prevent fluid leakage,
minimize friction, and ensure consistent damping
performance over the operational life.

The damper assembly shall comply with defined design

limits for stroke length, operating pressure, damping
force, and temperature range, while maintaining
durability and manufacturability. All components—
including the clevis, cap, seals, piston head, spherical
bearings, and enclosure—must be sized and selected to
meet strength, fatigue, and wear requirements.

This problem addresses the challenge of achieving reliable

and repeatable viscous damping performance in a
highly miniaturized form factor, which is critical for
applications in aerospace mechanisms, precision
machinery, robotics, and vibration isolation systems
where space, weight, and performance constraints are
stringent.

Design and Development of a Compact Reaction

Wheel / Gyroscopic Stabilizer Module

KALM-SPI-01
The objective of this project is to design, develop, and
validate a compact reaction wheel–based or gyroscopic
stabilizer module intended for attitude stabilization of
small platforms. The stabilizer must be fully self-contained
and fit within a maximum envelope of 100 mm × 100 mm
× 100 mm, making it suitable for integration into space- and
weight-constrained systems.

The system shall generate sufficient control torque to

counteract external disturbances and stabilize the host
platform about at least one principal axis. This shall be
achieved through a high-speed rotating mass (reaction
wheel or gyro rotor) driven by a compact electric motor,
with precise control of angular velocity and acceleration.
The design must ensure dynamic balance, low vibration,
and safe operation at high rotational speeds.

The stabilizer shall include an embedded control system,

inertial sensing (gyroscope and/or accelerometer), motor
driver electronics, and power conditioning circuitry, all
housed within the defined volume. The control algorithm
must compute stabilization commands in real time to adjust
wheel speed and provide corrective torque. Thermal
management, bearing selection, and structural integrity
must be addressed to ensure reliable continuous operation.

The module shall be designed with clearly defined

performance limits, including maximum torque output,
angular momentum capacity, power consumption, and
operational speed range. Mechanical mounting provisions
and electrical interfaces must be included to allow
straightforward integration into external systems.

This problem addresses the challenge of achieving effective

attitude stabilization using reaction wheel or gyroscopic
principles in a highly miniaturized form factor, which is
critical for applications such as small satellites, UAV
payload stabilization, robotics, camera gimbals, and
precision instrumentation, where size, mass, and

Design of a Compact High-Performance Capstan

Drive Transmission

KALM-CMPO-01
The objective of this project is to design and engineer a
compact capstan drive transmission capable of delivering
high torque density, precise motion control, and
minimal backlash for use in precision electromechanical
systems such as robotic joints, haptic devices, and fine
positioning actuators. The complete capstan drive
assembly, including the drive pulley, capstan drum, cable
routing, and bearing supports, must fit within a 1 × 1
square form factor (planar envelope), imposing strict
spatial and integration constraints.

The capstan drive shall transmit torque via high-strength

flexible cable or synthetic fiber wrapped around a
capstan drum, exploiting frictional amplification while
avoiding slip under maximum load conditions. The design
must maximize torque transfer efficiency while minimizing
backlash, hysteresis, creep, and fatigue, which commonly
arise due to cable elasticity, friction non-linearities,
bending stiffness, and wear at small pulley diameters.

Key technical challenges include optimizing the capstan

diameter, wrap angle, cable material, and pretension to
satisfy the capstan friction relationship while maintaining
acceptable bearing loads and cable life. The transmission
must exhibit high stiffness and bandwidth, enabling rapid
torque reversals and accurate position control. Thermal
effects, long-term tension loss, and repeatability under
cyclic loading must be addressed.

The system shall include provisions for tensioning,

alignment, and anchoring of the cable, as well as low-
friction bearings and a rigid housing to preserve
transmission integrity. Performance limits such as
maximum transferable torque, positioning accuracy,
efficiency, and service life shall be defined and validated.

This problem addresses the challenge of achieving high-

precision, low-backlash power transmission in an ultra-
compact envelope, enabling next-generation compact
 robotic and mechatronic systems where conventional gear
trains are unsuitable.
