NP NEWS NETWORK

Infinite Up time, city based industrial IoT solution provider harnessing Artificial Intelligence for improved productivity, quality, monitoring and predictive maintenance has collectively received about $5 Million ‘Series A’ funding from multiple PE and venture capital funds across the world.This was announced by Raunak, Founder and Managing Director, Infinite Up time during a Press Conference held in the city today. Abhijit Jorvekar, Chief Growth Officer, Infinite Uptime was also present.  Raunak Bhinge has been born and brought up in Pune. He did his schooling from St. Ursula’s High School, Akurdi and Junior College from Garware College of Science. He completed B. Tech and M. Tech from the prestigious IIT Madras and was a silver medallist before completing his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in Mechanical Engineering in the year 2016. He has 17 publications and 3 patents to his credit. Raunak Founded Infinite Uptime in 2016. Mayfield: Seed & Series A investors have invested $1.37 Million, IL & FS has invested $2 Million, GSR Ventures: Seed & Series A Investors have invested $1.37 Million and GiTV: Series A Strategic Investors have invested 0.26 Million in Infinite Up time.Speaking on the occasion Raunak  said, “Lack of a scalable way to connect and analyse data coming from mechanical machinery and connecting it to the industrial ecosystem has been a common problem across industry. This has been resulting in unanticipated breakdown in spite of large number of initiatives in machine digitization. According to an estimate, lack of scalable predictive analytics for mechanical systems results in 70% of breakdown as compared to other causes such as thermal, hydraulic or electrical.”

“We provide a solution to engineering and process industry, primarily in mechanical predictive maintenance to prevent production losses incurred due to machine breakdown. Our solution is a combination of a unique smart sensor system and edge computing that gathers all the required mechanical data from the machine where it is installed, analyses it from various aspects at the edge and provides information critical to predictive maintenance of the machine helping save good amount of downtime thereby improving productivity”, he added.

“Results of this predictive analytics have been phenomenal. Some to the key pointers that showcase the results include, 10 hours of unpredicted downtime saved per month per machine saving about $9000, achievement of 50% lower breakdown, improved key performance indicators of the machine, 25% of more production potential unlocked per year towards direct profit, savings of 24 hours of unplanned downtime per month and enabling continuous data monitoring for anomaly detection. This solution actually helps the industry to move from preventive maintenance to predictive and proactive maintenance that can reduce breakdown by about 70%”, informed Abhijit Jorvekar.

Automotive, textile, processing, power, steel, defence, cement and many other industrial segments can benefit from the solution. Godrej, Siemens, Asahi in Japan, companies in the Tata Group, companies in the Kalyani Group, Companies in the TVS group, and Vitro in Mexico are some of the well-known companies that are using the Infinite Uptime solution.

Headquartered in Pune, Infinite Uptime has support teams in cities like Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Delhi NCR. The company has been ranked in the top 10 IoT solutions globally by APAC CIO Outlook 2017.
