In a significant step towards strengthening India’s Industry 4.0 ecosystem and accelerating indigenous
industrial digital transformation, the Technology Development Board (TDB), Department of Science &
Technology (DST), Government of India, has entered into an agreement with M/s IDT Innovation
Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Nagpur, for the project titled “Industry 4.0: Development and Commercialization of
Industrial AIoT Devices.”
The project aims to commercialize advanced Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (AIoT)-based
industrial solutions designed to enhance resource efficiency, energy optimization, predictive maintenance,
and operational productivity across manufacturing and industrial sectors. The initiative aligns with the
Government of India’s vision of promoting intelligent manufacturing, digital industrial infrastructure, and
Aatmanirbhar Bharat through indigenous technology development.
The company has developed an integrated industrial AIoT ecosystem comprising proprietary hardware
devices and a secure analytics software platform for real-time industrial monitoring and data-driven
operational management. The hardware suite includes actuator monitors, energy meters, machine condition
sensors, temperature and electrical health monitoring systems, and edge-based data acquisition units. These
technologies work in conjunction with a centralized software platform enabling secure data aggregation,
visualization, analytics, and predictive performance monitoring across industrial operations.
The proposed indigenous solution is designed for seamless retrofitting with existing industrial machines and
electrical infrastructure, enabling easy adoption by MSMEs and large manufacturing units without major
operational disruption. The modular and scalable architecture also allows phased deployment and future
expansion based on operational requirements.The project is expected to contribute significantly towards import substitution in industrial monitoring and
analytics technologies, a segment currently dominated by imported systems from international OEMs. By
offering cost-effective, customizable, and locally developed alternatives, the initiative aims to make
advanced industrial resource optimization and productivity analytics more accessible to Indian industries
while strengthening supply chain resilience and domestic manufacturing capabilities.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB, stated, “Industry 4.0 technologies
are becoming central to the future competitiveness of manufacturing economies. TDB’s support to
indigenous Industrial AIoT solutions reflects the Government’s commitment towards enabling smart
manufacturing, energy-efficient industrial systems, and digital transformation led by Indian innovation for
secondary sector of the economy.”
Promoters of IDT Innovation Technologies Pvt. Ltd., expressed gratitude for TDB’s support and stated that
the assistance would accelerate the adoption of the company’s SenseLive™ platform for real-time industrial
monitoring and analytics, empowering industries to make data-driven decisions for continuous improvement
in energy management, operational efficiency, and manufacturing productivity.
