Project Tittle: AI enabled solutions for Preventive and Predictive Maintenance

Collaborator: Continental Automotive Components India Private Limited

Faculty In charge: Dr. Sumathi R CSE and Dr. Nagaraju MED

Project Scope: Study, Review and Implementation of AI based Predictive and Preventive
applications in facility asset at Continental Bommasandra Plant.

According the International Society of Automation, a typical factory loses between 5% and 20% of
its manufacturing capacity due to downtime. Traditional preventive maintenance processes require
machines to be repaired at intervals based on time or usage. These methods, however, still result in
significant instances of equipment failure resulting in idle workers, increased scrap rates, lost
revenues and angry customers. In addition, preventive maintenance may replace parts that still have
significant working life, which can be a waste of time and money.

AI enabled predictive maintenance uses a variety of data from IOT sensors imbedded in equipment,
data from manufacturing operations, environmental data, and more to determine which components
should be replaced before they break down. AI models can look for patterns in data that indicate
failure modes for specific components or generate more accurate predictions of the lifespan for a
component given environmental conditions. When specific failure signals are observed such as
vibration, temperature, power consumption or component aging criteria are met, the components can
then be replaced during scheduled maintenance windows.

BIODIESEL IS AN ALTERNATIVE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE

Manjunatha Swamy K M
Research Scholar
Department of Mechanical Engineering
SIT-Tumkur.

Biodiesel is an important alternative renewable energy source because it is environmental friendly,

non-toxic, and has lower emission gases when used for the combustion. Biodiesel is produced from
direct transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fat, where the corresponding triglycerides react
with small molecule alcohol such as methyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. Currently, more
than 95% of biodiesel is produced from edible oils which are easily available on large scale from the
agricultural industry. However, continuous and large-scale production of biodiesel from edible oils
has recently been of great concern because they compete with food materials - the food versus fuel
dispute. There are concerns that biodiesel feedstock may compete with food supply in the long-term.
Therefore, non-edible plant oils have been found to be promising crude oils for the production of
biodiesel. The use of non-edible oils is very significant in developing countries because of the
tremendous demand for edible oils as food and that they are far too expensive to be used as fuel at
present. In Thailand, palm oil is an important raw material for biodiesel production. However, palm
oil has been used for essential consumption and food industry. Thus, using palm oil as raw material
to produce biodiesel has caused the shortages edible oil consumption and raised palm oil price in the
country. At this point, research for non-edible oils or new non-edible crops is crucial for biodiesel
production industry in Thailand. Likewise, Jatropha curcas plants is promoted as raw material for
biodiesel because it plants easily, grows rapidly and offers high yield of oil. However, due to the
limited plantation area for Jatropha curcas plants, they are insufficient to be a feedstock in biodiesel
production. The main drawback of vegetable oil is their high viscosity and low volatility, which
causes poor combustion in diesel engines. Therefore, the vegetable oil cause poor fuel atomization,
incomplete combustion and carbon deposition on the injector and valve seats resulting in serious
engine fouling. This necessitates the reduction in viscosity of the vegetable oils for use as fuel in CI
engines. The commonly employed methods to reduce the viscosity of vegetable oils are
microemulsion, direct use and blending of diesel/oil, thermal cracking (pyrolysis), and
transesterification (alcoholysis). Among them, the most popularly used method is transesterification
in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., liquid acids or bases, enzymes, or solid catalysts). This process
reduces the viscosity to a value comparable to that of diesel fuel and hence improves combustion.

 Eshwar N holds the Guinness World Records title for "Fastest Mile Controlling a Table Tennis
Ball" i.e., 6 min 16.53 sec. He has been playing table tennis for many years and considers himself
skilled with a paddle and ball. When he saw this record title he knew he wanted to accomplish it.
Eshwar began training running and finally combined his table tennis prowess with his newfound
running skills to become Officially Amazing during his successful attempt. VTU Central Zone
Champions in Table Tennis and won many other open table tennis tournaments held at Bengaluru.
 Guinness World Record Broken ! After a successful Attempt and little more than a year of running to
break a record.
 World Record has been broken for title: Fastest Mile controlling a Table Tennis Ball , when I started
to think about breaking a GWR, essential there were two inner voices: • It's impossible? • May be if I
try, I might succeed? Finally, it's true, the choices we make between different options determine who
we want to be.
 When I went ahead to try it, first day of practice felt like it's impossible. As time and practice
progressed, my timing was inching closer towards than current title: 6 minutes 49.91 seconds.
 Attempt was the most challenging in terms of the timing ( 6 minutes 49 seconds). My best timing was
6 minutes 55 seconds.
 When they say the problem is big enough, you need to break and rule them. In order to beat the record
of 370 seconds, one mile is 1609.344 meters, I needed to finish a lap of 400 meters track within 90
seconds.
 Every day I started inching closer to breaking the record.
 On 2nd February 2021, I attempted the record. Was lucky enough to break the record on my Attempt
clocked 6 minutes 16.53 seconds.
 I am very much indebted to the lot people (My parents, Praveen Sir, Yogeesh Sir, Guru Sir, Pradeep
Sir, Likith, Sandeep, Rakshith, Rajendra, Madhu, Chandan team of Cadsoft surveyor, my friends) and
well-wishers who supported me in this.
 I hope this record will inspire people to break many records and sport Table Tennis will gain
popularity.
 I would like to end my favourite quote: “Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat
has been accepted as a reality.”- Bruce Lee.
 Attaching a small video clip of how the Attempt was made and the Team without them, it was not
possible.
