MLIT-18 has indigenously developed solutions for Quality Assurance
The Technology Development Board (TDB) has entered into an agreement with the MLIT-18 Technology Private Limited for ‘Commercialization of Machine Vision and Robotics System for Automation in Manufacturing Industry’.
TDB has pledged a support of Rs.4.12 crores out of the total project cost of Rs.5.89 crores.
The company is incubated at the Startup Incubation and Innovation Centre, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
MLIT-18 has indigenously developed solutions which will be a direct substitute to the Quality Assurance and Inspection System for industrial automation in manufacturing industries and railways.
In the project under TDB support, the company has proposed an import substitute for many major automation solutions like wagon inspection, thermal detection in mining industries, sieve analysis and pre-delivery inspection in automobile industry.
The working system is already deployed at the customer sites like Ultratech (Aditya Birla), Birla copper unit, Mahindra Igatpuri etc.
The entire design, algorithm and assembly in the developed product is indigenous.
The company has a manufacturing site at Maharashtra for the realization of AI and robotics systems in the automation industry and railway.
Speaking on the occasion of agreement signing, the promoters of the company, Manish Choudhary and Girish Nair, stated that the support and assistance from TDB will enable the company for indigenization of the technology across various industries in India and contribute to the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives of the Government in AI and Robotics field.
