 Industry 4.0
Fourth Industrial Revolution is marked through the use of cyber
physical systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) and
Services
The integration of cyber technologies that make the products
Internet-enabled, facilitates innovative services to achieve, among
other things, Internet-based diagnostics, maintenance, operation,
etc. in a cost-effective and efficient manner
Realization of new business models, operating concepts and
smart controls, and focusing on the user and his or her individual
needs.

 IoT based Manufacturing projects @ IITM
*Diagnostic system to Grind-TrakTM
(Enhancing efficiency of Grinding process using IoT)

Diagnostic system developed at IIT M Grind-TrakTM -A portable diagnostic kit

The fundamental idea is to monitor and analyze the vital signals of grinding process using
process monitoring tools and techniques. Analyze the data to enhance the process efficiency

*Diagnostic system was developed in IIT Madras as a B.Tech final year project, in order to evaluate the cylindrical
grinding process. This academic project has been adopted and successfully commercialized by MGT, as Grind TrakTM.
 IoT based Manufacturing projects @ IITM
*Automation of Grinding Process Intelligence
(Development of smarter grinding machineusing IoT)

Framework of a smart
Framework of AGI grinding machine with AGI

To develop intelligent grinding machine that learns and understands its own process and
guides the operator according to the requirement.

*Automation of Grinding Process Intelligence (AGI) is one among 11 projects funded by DHI–GoI, under the
establishment ‘Advanced Manufacturing Technology Development Center’.
