India Update: Exclusive Interview With NASSCOM on Its Plans to Develop IoT in India
The current plan to have the Centre of Excellence - IoT (CoE-IoT) operational by March 2016. All activities leading to making the CoE operational is being worked on in terms of finalizing the tools, equipment to be made available, infrastructure that promotes innovation along with on boarding the requisite manpower to manage the CoE. http://www.iotleague.com/india-update-exclusive-interview-with-nasscom-on-its-plans-to-develop-iot-in-india/
According to IDC's forecast, revenue from IoT technology and services for discrete and
process manufacturing in India will grow from US$1.3 billion in 2014 to US$3.9 billion in 2020 at a
CAGR of 20.1%.
IoT is the most adopted among the Innovation Accelerators in India followed by security. It is also a technology expected to gain significant growth in the next two years, with close to 67% of manufacturing companies across sectors expected to adopt it as per IDC Manufacturing Insights' recent study.
New Holland Fiat (India) launched the GPS and the GPRS technologies on its tractors under
the name of "Sky Watch" in 2012. This technology will enable farmers to monitor and trace their tractors'' health and performance for better control and
maintenance, easy operations, and improved productivity. Tractor owners can know the hourly
usage, performance parameters, and the maintenance when the tractor is rented out.
Videocon recently launched WiFi enabled air-conditioners that can be controlled from anywhere through a smartphone application as part of the company's vision for connected homes. According to
the press release, the device has an energy meter and uses the WiFi at home to keep track of
power usage. The "away" mode tracks the user's location and accordingly switches off to
conserve power.
Companies across industries (pharmaceuticals; textiles; and process industries such as paint,
oil, and gas) have already implemented remote asset management in shop floors for better
yield and utilization management.
IDC Manufacturing Insights analyzes the application of IoT under three broad categories — 1) smart
manufacturing for processes, 2) connected products for feedback from the customer's location, and 3)
smart supply chain for inbound and outbound logistics.
Bharat Light & Power - Use Case
A farm of wind turbines in which power generation can be optimized based on the demand for power at a particular hour of the day and the wind conditions, is implemented by Bharat Light & Power (IDC #IN246166).
JCB India - Use Case
JCB India is a leader in earthmoving and construction equipment manufacturing in India with five
manufacturing facilities.
In 2012, JCB launched the "LiveLink" Business need IoT program for its customers to be in constant
touch with their machine by sending out real-time data and keeping them informed all the time. The
telematics-based technology helps the users to collect the vital parameters of machine performance
using sensors on three fronts:
1. Service — to collect important parameters for health monitoring and service alerts.
2. Operation — for monitoring equipment usage, status and health, fuel consumption, and idle
time. This helps in implementing product-as-a-service business models with no revenue
leakage.
3. Security — geo-fencing for marking the secure boundaries of operation and ongoing
monitoring of location with alerts when the machine goes outside the defined boundary
conditions.
Technology implemented: Per JCB design and architecture requirements, Wipro implemented IoT as
an end-to-end application. JCB, Wipro, and the LiveLink Control Unit (LCU) manufacturer worked
closely during the evolution of its design and all throughout its testing. Wipro deployed its
own homegrown cloud-based platform built using open source technologies At the beginning of 2015, the platform handled 60,000 transactions per day for a fleet of 1,300 machines, with plans to add 2,000 new machines each month. Wipro has minimized the upfront capital investment for JCB and provided the services on a subscription model (per machine per month or PMPM).

Launched PrintProtect ™ for the first time in India.
Launched India’s first dual extrude printer with soluble support in Oct 2013.
Launched India’s largest and smartest FDM based printer in Feb 2015.
Divide by Zero is the manufacturer of FDM machines, specifically the Accucraft 3D printer.
While the technologies SLA and SLS were first to appear, FDM / FFF was able to grow in South Asian / Indian market due to the low price and better marketing. Even today they remain cheaper as compared to other technologies, both on the initial and running cost. After expiry of the key patents, FFF/FDM became available to anyone, which has led to its further reduction in price and availability as an open source machine. With more patents expiring, more technologies would move into this category.”
“SLA, SLS and DMLS are all excellent production-worthy technologies which help build precise parts due to lower Z-heights. They are expensive as of now, and are growing in essential areas such as aerospace, automotive and medical industries. The game changer for these technologies will be the ability to reliably and efficiently manufacture end usable parts in medium size batches. DLP technology is young, but could be very disruptive. It has 3 main advantages of Price, Precision and Speed. DLP has only one limitation; that is its build size. There has been a rapid increase in the number of new machines using DLP, and we are looking out for the best performers in this space.”

www.freedom251.com
www.ringingbells.co.in
The smartphone Freedom 251 comes with a 1-year warranty, 6 months for Battery and Charger and also 3 months for Earphone commencing from the date of purchase.
Both Economic Times and Times of India carried news items on this smart phone. They expressed doubt on how the company can supply at this low price. The other manufacturers request Ministry of Electronics to investigate and find out if there is any foul play in the offer.
Strategy to Sell Freedom Smart Phone at Rs. 251
How will the company manage to sell it at that price?
Ringing Bell claims it will be able to achieve this feat through four strategies.
Rs 2,500, is present cost of the device.
One, the benefit excise duty cuts by assembling handsets domestically would be Rs 400 or 16 per cent of Rs 2,500.
However, they are expecting from the government, which is at 13.8 per cent or Rs 55 lower than Rs 400.
Two, as it starts manufacturing in huge quantities (at least 500,000 units a month), it would be able to cut costs by a further Rs 500 a unit.
Three, online sales will help it cut costs by another Rs 500.
Four, it will have a specialised online platform, and earn additional revenue which is going fund the sasles of Freedom 251.
Biocon was the first Indian company to come up with its mAbs product, BIOMAb-EGFR (Nimotuzumab). The product was granted regulatory marketing and manufacturing approval in India in September 2006. The product is a therapeutic monoclonal antibody-based drug for treating solid tumors of epithelial origin, such as head and neck cancers.
“In 2007, Dr Reddy's Labs came out with the novel concept of producing the biosimilar version of Rituximab, a version of Roche's cancer therapy, which could allow a greater access to the drug at half the price of the original. Reditux is the second product from Dr Reddy's Biologics Division, which is developing treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The company has also launched the generic version of Amgen's Neupogen, and named it Grafeel.
Pune-based Serum Institute has entered into another agreement with Akorn of the US in 2007 for definitive development and exclusive distribution rights for rabies mAb.
Intas Biopharmaceuticals has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Government of Gujarat in 2009 for setting up a separate manufacturing facility for MAbs, a recombinant mammalian platform product. The company will invest Rs 160 crore towards setting up a manufacturing facility at Sanand near Ahmedabad. The facility, fully-dedicated for mAbs, will undertake large-scale manufacturing of the recombinant product with a capacity of 5000L in phases.
Daftary group promoted Bharat Serums and Vaccines and Bangalore-based Avesthagen are some of the other notable companies that have chalked our serious plans for mABs.
“MAbs business involves patents and for navigating through these patents requires skills,”
Future prospects
By 2015 , the sales of mAbs is expected to reach Rs 3 lakh crore ($67.6 bn), with a CAGR of 13.8 percent between 2008 and 2015. The biotherapeutic market would be dominated with mAbs in next five years as most of the blockbuster molecules are going off-patented.
All the pharma majors have mAbs projects in their R&D portfolio. Introduction of newer monoclonal antibodies will greatly expand the market. Globally, the FDA had approved four new mAbs and EMA had approved seven new mAbs in 2009. There were at least six new mAbs under regulatory review, 26 mAbs (32 in 2008) are in phase III and over 100 are in phase II clinical trials. There are more than 150 mAbs molecule awaiting regulatory approval. I
Compared to India, China is a big market for mAbs. Some notable companies include Union Stem Cell and Gene Engineering and Biotech pharmaceutical. In a serious effort towards innovation,China is moving towards areas like stem cells, mAbs, cancer and HIV development and vaccines with investments being pumped in both by the Government and foreign sources.
