Projects: Connected Vehicle, FOTA 4G, AIS140 Fleet Management Solution, ADAS OGP & OGM, DBMS, RPAS, Digital SPC & Field Failure Analysis & Support

Client: Volvo Eicher, Daimler & Tata Motors

Main Project Features:

• AIS140 & FOTA 4G VTS Device: Automotive Indian Standard (AIS)-140 standard. AIS 140 GPS devices are mandatory in all commercial vehicles in most of the states in India. Under this we can track the vehicle location and emergency buttons must be installed in all public transport vehicles like buses, taxis, etc. The device relates to the government server and manufacturer server.
• ADAS (Connected Vehicle): Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technologies are becoming increasingly important for commercial vehicles to improve the safety of drivers, vehicles, passengers, and cargo. The solution helps to mitigate collisions with vehicles/objects/pedestrians in front, thus preventing accidents. The active safety technology assists drivers in recognizing and responding to critical driving situations to prevent collisions with a moving or stationary objects/vehicle in front even in extreme conditions.
• RPAS: Reverse Parking Assistance Systems (RPAs) are automated parking systems that help drivers park with extreme ease and precision. This guided system works on ultrasonic along with buzzer indication-based systems that are superior and advanced technologies.

• Implement Industry 4.0 solutions using development boards (STM, PIC, Raspberry Pi, Arduino) and provide remote access solutions for industrial machinery.
• Design, validate, and troubleshoot PCB, BOM, and firmware for IoT devices, and manage firmware updates (serial and OTA).
• Install and troubleshoot GPS telematics devices on industrial machinery, resolving real-time tracking issues.
• Provide technical support for IoT solutions and deliver Proof of Concepts (POCs) for industrial projects.
• Create technical documents, user manuals, test cases, project presentations, and business proposals.
• Collaborate with business development team to understand market trends and customer needs, build relationships with key account executives, and propose IoT-based solutions.
• Work across organizations to deploy POCs, integrate solutions, and interact with end-users.
• Technical Expertise: Proficient in communication protocols (TCP/IP, ModBus, MQTT, SPI, UART, RS232, RS485, WiFi, Bluetooth) and experienced in IoT development boards and firmware development.

Designed and implemented comprehensive IoT solutions for:

• Vehicle and Asset Tracking: Fleet management, real-time location tracking, driver behavior analysis, geo-zone monitoring, and remote cut-off.
• Student and Employee Tracking: Attendance monitoring, enter/exit alerts, overspeed alerts, and route adherence.
• Fuel Level Monitoring: Accurate tank monitoring, fuel theft prevention, and automated fuel accounting.
• Diesel Generator Monitoring & Control: Real-time monitoring, preventive maintenance, and remote ON/OFF control.
• ATM and Cell Tower Tracking: Asset tracking and security solutions for ATMs and cell towers.
• Field Workforce Tracking: Real-time employee tracking, productivity monitoring, and data-driven insights.

Technical Expertise:

• Utilized technologies such as GPS, RFID, OBD, and IoT sensors to provide real-time monitoring and insights.
• Implemented features like geo-zone violations, remote cut-off, and alerts for low fuel, over speeding, and more.

Teaching and Training:
