Culture of Innovation – Software

Got to innovate for survival, more so recently by applying domain/industry knowledge through software.

The culture of innovation should be pervasive across the enterprise to thrive and sustain the differentiated value in the market. The ownership of creating such a culture lies with all internal stakeholders including executive leadership and managers, not just with technologists. .

Design Innovation in flow metering devices using TRIZ

Abstract of the Case Study:

Flow meters are used all over the world to measure the quantum of gas utilized for domestic or industrial purposes. A is a specialized flowmeter used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to measure the amount of fuel gases, such as CNG or LPG, delivered through a pipeline. Gases are highly compressible, which makes them more difficult to measure than liquids because of their sensitivity to changes in temperature and pressure. Gas meters measure a defined volume, regardless of the pressurized quantity or quality of the gas flowing through the meter. Accordingly, adjustments need to be made in temperature, pressure, and heating values to accurately measure the actual amount of gas moving through the meter. We take pride that our Gas meters are completely Made In India unlike our competition and, so far we have supplied more than 3 million devices. The present flow meter is based on a sophisticated pantograph mechanism consisting of good number of redundant moving components and sometimes cause reliability issues during production.  Using TRIZ methodology, we have simplified the system by developing novel solutions with minimal parts thus enhancing the reliability of the system. This has further paved our way to come out with next generation smart metering solutions.

“Developing the technology core through TRIZ – One in All and All in One”

Abstract of the Case Study:

How TRIZ principles enabled to devise the so-called “Bayesian Optimization”, wherein multiple technologies interplay with each other to produce a favorable outcome. Further, I will talk about trends of technology evolution and system-super system thought process in optimization and how this concept helped us to navigate towards quantum inspired optimization.

Overcoming the Speed Sensor Malfunction

Abstract of the Case Study:

With multiple unknowns being common for failure or malfunction, OEMs have the responsibility to address them quickly with innovation and engineering. This case study is an application of TRIZ by a Tractor OEM to solve field problem pertaining to malfunction of a proprietary part. The problem was identified and resolved using TRIZ tools, without doing any changes in the design of the proprietary part or on the Tractor. Working Team found that the TRIZ tools significantly helped in generating quality ideas and removing the psychological inertia.

Reimagining Farm Product Design using TRIZ

Abstract of the Case Study:

Product Development is the lifeline of many organizations across the globe and maximizing the efficiency in the product or process is always a much desired approach. Product Design and Development depend strongly on the underpinning technology driving it. Here we explore mapping that technology to the various stages of an s-curve and using appropriate TRIZ approaches based on its current stage, to drive Innovation to build Competitive and Frugal Product Designs and build a strong IP portfolio. This presentation showcases multiple examples from our own Farm Industry as we move through a re-imagined Farm Product Design using TRIZ
