The development and assembling of the hardware and software was done in-house at the Innovation Lab of the institute and the product was tested and cleared by the Electrical and Maintenance Works of IIT KGP for safety and operational ease for installation at the campus. “A major benefit of the product is the economy in pricing which is as low as 50 per cent of similar products available in the market while the other key aspect is that the product can be personalised as per customers’ requirements both for B2B and B2C,” Prof P K Dan, faculty at IIT KGP’s Rajendra Mishra School of Engineering Entrepreneurship, was quoted in the statement. Dan had mentored the development and deployment work.
