India is a manual workforce-driven country. With increasing interconnectivity and smart automation, the workforce’s productivity and efficiency are now levelling up like never before. Yes, industry 4.0 is here. The semi-automatic segment is one of the biggest markets for Industry 4.0. More revenue can be driven in the operations of the companies where the production and manufacturing segments will be completely optimized. Real-time remote monitoring and controlling are a must to cope with human errors.
Understanding this growing need and working towards the same were the Founders of Flywheels Embedded Research. They were pioneers in IoT and industrial IoT in 2010 and 2011. Since the company's registration in 2011, efforts were made in research mode and the company became operational by the end of the year 2017.
By 2018, they began trial runs with customers like Molex, TE connectivity, Lapp India, Siemens, and Schneider. Currently, Flywheels Embedded Research has a presence only in Bangalore, but the team caters to customers from PAN India. Their target for the year 2022-23 is around 10X Growth. Specifically in the Industry 4.0 segment.
The Game Changer
With Industry 4.0, all businesses, in any sector can monitor their business in real-time. They can see their operations optimized in performance with downtime predictions made well in advance so that corrective measures can be taken to ensure productivity does not take a hit.
Rakesh Patil, Founder and Managing Director
at Flywheels Embedded Research says, “We first make sure all the production elements are connected and communicating in real-time. Once this is ready we enable real-time metrics of the business. Minor automation activities are then put in place, like automating the processes in the production lines that will help the ground force operators. In real-time, the SOPs are shown on the operator’s screens and the processes can be updated very easily. Our Industry 4.0 compliant devices make sure there are no production errors in the FGs. And all the FGs dispatched to their end customers are 100 percent defect-free”.
One-Stop Solution Provider
Team Flywheels builds the hardware and related software with industrial IoT, with which, any type of segment can be scaled up to any level. This model has aided the company to achieve almost 100 percent Industry 4.0 compliance with their clients.
Rakesh Patil, Founder & Managing Director
Flywheels is a one-stop solution with an end-to-end in-house development team, unlike system integrators. They focus only on the new age embedded systems integrated with AI and ML.
“We follow very precise research, build, and connect approach. Unlike a standard system which is very expensive, we, at Flywheels, develop custom solutions as per the needs of our customers. This brings down the cost drastically and yields huge results”, Sharan explains.
“As per one of Flywheels' client who was unable to monitor the production process and manage the multiple FGs in the same line with different orders, with Flywheels' systems the whole scenario changed and the Client got complete control of the production process which is system driven. And, with better control revenue increased five times”. He adds further.
From advanced wiring harness testers for the wiring harness industry, IoT water management systems for rural and urban water supply, smart lighting CCMS centralized lighting system, smart connected vending machine controllers, connected medical equipment, electric panel automation, chiller plants automation to STP/ETP – Flywheels Embedded Research has much to offer to clients looking to leverage Industry 4.0. Team Flywheels is all set to establish itself as a leader in Industry 4.0 and industrial IoT in the next three years in India, providing solutions globally.
