#ForgeHardwareStartupShowcase MACHINES in the context of INDUSTRIAL HARDWARE are programmable, electromechanical or cyber-physical systems designed to digitalise production and industrial value chains. These composite systems offer resource conversion, materials processing and handling - often replacing manual labour or handling complex tasks to manufacture end-products. They integrate core components and auxiliary devices to convert, transmit, and apply energy to operate, function, or produce. Some of the key startups from the vast number of Industrial Hardware Machines from Forge Innovation & Ventures' Hardware Startup Collective are -Suzhiyam Industrial Machines Private Limited, whose 120 kW to 10 MW industrial-grade RDF pellet burners assist industries in making the shift from fossil fuels to carbon-neutral agro waste-derived alternatives; ESTN, whose Combined Data Acquisition Platform (CDAP) uses radars and eddy currents for defect detection in cross-country oil pipelines; augurai with its automated vision intelligence solution that combines optical technology(cameras, lenses & lighting) with AI-enabled Vision Intelligence to identify defects in real time for streamlined quality assurance in manufacturing; and Wankel Energy Systems with their patented Phoenix expanders that harness energy contained in waste steam to generate electricity, enabling energy efficiency and sustainability for industrial companies. These Industrial Hardware Innovations and industrial systems drive process innovation in digitalization, data-driven insights, automation and intelligent systems - translating to enhanced efficiency, quality, predictability, flexibility, safety, and sustainability across manufacturing value chains - ultimately driving industrial transformation to bolster India’s preeminence in the industrial digital age.
