    Remote monitoring of UPS and Batteries over the SNMP for a Wireless Internet Provider
    Apr 2017 - Mar 2021 (4 years)
    To address the challenge of the status of Batteries and UPS present on the sites which cause sudden downtime for site present in the remote areas. For a service provider, site down is a challenge as they have to honor the agreed SLA. This critical issue was solved by YUPS IoT gateway which can communicate over the SNMP/HTTP/MQTT protocol and generate real-time data and alerts to the server. After implementing this solution, the number of visits by a field engineer to a particular site is decreased drastically and up-time of the site increased considerably.

    Remote Asset Monitoring for a World’s leading Telecom and Network Infrastructure Company
    Jan 2016 - Jun 2016 (6 months)
    Telecom and networking companies install hardware at their enterprise customer facilities. When the internet doesn’t work, the customer calls up the service provider for rectification. A service engineer is assigned who visits the site to find: 1. There is no Power in the premises and hence the internet is down. 2. The internet is restored by simply resetting the device (Switching it off and then on) 3. The internet is restored by pulling the jack out from the router and plugging it back in. (JOJI – Jack out, Jack In) These happen in 60% of cases. ReTroE was designed and deployed to overcome the above problems. The Company saves 40% of their operational expenses with this solution. This also drastically reduces the downtime faced by the end

    Object Detection using Stereo Vision
    Jun 2009 - Mar 2010 (10 months)
    Major project as a partial fulfillment for Bachelor of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering degree course in the guidance of Prof. Deepika Chadha. In Robots, Visual interpretation is an extremely challenging problem to fully solve. Robot vision technology is needed for the stable walking, object recognition and the movement to the target spot. By some sensors which use infrared rays and ultrasonic, robot can overcome the urgent state. But stereo vision of three dimensional spaces would make robot have powerful artificial intelligence. Computer stereo vision is the extraction of 3D information from digital images. The task in hand was achieved using two USB cameras placed on a platform. On the software end, Netbeans IDE along with O
