We are glad to announce the successful completion of the Facility for Low Carbon Technology Deployment (FLCTD) Innovation Challenge! With the support from FLCTD and our strategic partner, the pilot deployment was carried out for our innovative patent granted magnet-less Energy Efficient Fan, the #srm technology, across various industries and residential places. This pilot deployment, which has been in operation for over a year saves around 60% energy at all speeds. The product is equipped with IoT, allowing us to gather invaluable insights into field performance, identify areas of improvement and enhance our product technology. The work on this technology was initiated around 2013 during our tenure at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay which eventually resulted in me and my co-founder Saurabh Nikam to start Aproposdrive Technologies along with Prof. B G Fernandes. Over the years, our team at Aproposdrive has overcome significant challenges mainly- 1. Motor acoustic noise 2. Energy density 3. Sensor less Algorithm for two phase motor. It’s a complete full stack development, covering motor topology hardware, controller hardware and software algorithms. The developed SRM technology has several advantages which makes it interesting. Not only is it as power efficient as a BLDC motor, but it's also rugged and simpler to manufacture compared to traditional induction motors. SRM fans being a complete magnet-free motor technology, reduces dependency on imported magnets—truly an #atmanirbharbharat solution. Furthermore, this innovation contributes to a more environmentally friendly solution, as it eliminates the need for mining rare earth minerals. Aproposdrive is unwaveringly committed to commercializing and scaling this technology for fans and similar applications. Our journey continues, and we are hopeful that our SRM technology will create a positive impact. #unido #srm #energyefficiency #fans #innovation #technology #sustainablefuture #nitiaayog #startupindia
