Overview
Pune, August 2023. Our team won the 6th edition of the Manufacturing Innovation Challenge, run by the NASSCOM Centre of Excellence for IoT and AI. The winning entry was camera-based vehicle tracking in a service centre. Maruti Suzuki Innovation was the challenge partner.
Our entry applied camera-based vehicle recognition to track vehicles inside a service centre. The challenge was run with the support of Maruti Suzuki Innovation as the industry partner for the problem.
Where the work comes from
The team has worked on edge AI for traffic and vehicle recognition since the end of 2019. The same models read number plates and vehicle attributes on small edge devices at the roadside and at gates. Inside a service centre, the question is the same as on a road: which vehicle is where, and when.
What followed
- In June 2025 the team won the Maruti Suzuki Accelerator, Cohort 9, with a computer vision solution for vehicle tracking in OEM service workshops.
- At dealerships, GateGuard digitises vehicle entry and exit. At Modi Hyundai, Baner, it handles 120 to 200 vehicles a day, with service turnaround and test drives on one platform.
