 Deep Learning of plant topography for predictive /
prescriptive analysis against pest and diseases".
BACKGROUND: Crop losses owing to pest &
diseases are inherent in Indian agriculture with the
annual loss of 15-25% of productivity. Pest &
diseases are complex, crop/region specific, seasonal,
epidemic/endemic, which require integrated
approaches to manage the loss. Due to the level of
complexity, diagnosis for preventive measures are
challenging, particularly our inability to (fore)see the
pest/disease occurrence and their life cycle, while
the level of difficulty raises with the size of land
holdings. Due to the poor visibility of pest and
110 ITC Limited Drone Doctors Software disease occurrences, our ability to integrate and use Robotics & Drones Complex
the data for preventive/prescriptive measures has
been the challenge leading to continuous
productivity loss. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Crop
loss is generally diagnosed by the symptoms
developed by pest and diseases, while manual
diagnosis has a very limited scope in identifying the
damaged plant parts, while recognizing the pattern
of pest/disease distribution almost close to
impossible in large area. Drone based scanning the
large area using both visible and near-infrared light,
could help track changes in plants at large scale and
identify the distribution pattern very precisely.
Further, an artificial intelligence (AI) driven software
could process the images; integrate the existing
 Time Series Machine Learning based Prediction
Model to achieve consistent Product Moisture in
manufacturing BACKGROUND: Achieving
consistency in product quality is one of the key
objectives in a manufacturing process. The product
quality in a process is affected by both, process and
environmental parameters. In case of a hygroscopic
organic product, moisture plays a vital role in
determining the end product quality. In the case of
this problem it is crucial to maintain the end
product moisture level within a narrow band for
superior product quality. To achieve the same,
online control of various process parameters is
Consistent Product required in manufacturing. PROBLEM
111 ITC Limited Moisture in Software DESCRIPTION: The manufacturing process of this Miscellaneous Complicated
manufacturing product has a drying step which is controlled to get
the end product moisture within limits. However,
post drying, the retention time and conditions in
further process steps impact the final product
moisture. The incoming material loses moisture in
the drying process. The dryer process parameters
are controlled through a PID loop with short and
long term levers. Post drying, the product is stored
in a conditioned environment and is transferred for
manufacture as per requirement. Product interacts
with the surrounding environment while residing in
the storage area and the manufacturing process.
Due to these interactions, the product moisture
changes from the desired value of 13.5+/-0.3%.
 Leveraging Artificial Intelligence & Image Processing
for Online Inspection of Packed Cases
1.BACKGROUND: Leaves of a crop are threshed and
are packed into 200 Kg cases. 10% of these packed
cases are later inspected for conformity to the
master case approved by the customer in terms of
Color, Ripeness and Uniformity. The quality
inspection processes are manually operated and rely
on the judgmental experience of the experts. The
judgment is heavily driven by personal, business
and environmental factors and is highly subjective.
2.PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Inspection is a crucial
activity to ensure customer satisfaction. Although it
Online Inspection of Software - Web App
112 ITC Limited Software doesn’t eliminate the defects in the product, it helps Complicated
Packed Cases identify the defective products before they are development
dispatched to the customer. The limitations with the
existing inspection process is multi-fold. • While
Customer expects all the cases to be inspected, due
to space and man-power constraints, today, the
business is able to achieve only 10% inspection. • As
the inspection process happens one day after the
cases are processed, due to limitations with Expert
availability, real-time corrective actions in the
factory in case of deviations in product quality gets
difficult • Due to human involvement in the visual
inspection, there is inherent subjectivity involved in
the process 3. PROBLEM STATEMENT: To automate
in real-time, the packed case inspection using
 Packaging format and design optimizer for packaged
food products 1. BACKGROUND: The packaging
format design is currently based on trial and error
for most of the packaged food products. The
packaging format decides the damage any food
product will undergo, especially during transit and
handling. Especially for biscuits, product breakage
is a prime concern, and any packing format is
decided retrospectively based on the damage
endured during transits (mostly by evaluating
breakage). A simulation based model would solve
this problem, just like any mechanical design, if
packaging design can be tested for relative
Packaging format Software - Web App
113 ITC Limited Software preference. 2. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Packaging Complicated
and design optimizer format for food products need to be designed based development
on a simulation model. This model should involve a
multi body dynamics study to evaluate the
maximum forces the final packaged food will be
subject to during transit and handling. A simulation
has to be done basis forces that products undergo
during the journey in the supply chain. 3. PROBLEM
STATEMENT: To build a computer simulation model

 Time – Temperature Sensors to deliver Super-Safe
Frozen Shrimp Meat Products 1. BACKGROUND: To
deliver highly relished and supersafe prawns to the
consumer, rapid freezing after processing and
storage at low temperatures is essential for prawn
and prawn products in order to eliminate oxidation,
denaturation of proteins, sublimation and
recrystallization of ice crystals. Temperature
increase of frozen product will result in off-flavors,
rancidity, dehydration, weight loss, and loss of
juiciness, drip loss, toughening, microbial spoilage
and autolysis of the product. Therefore, it is
absolutely critical that frozen conditions are
Intelligent Food maintained during transportation, storage, and in
114 ITC Limited Hardware retail stores. This needs to be verifiably Miscellaneous Simple
packaging
demonstrated to the consumer during the time of
purchase. This is feasible only by a bio-sensor which
will demonstrate the actual state of the product
during its shelf-life. 2. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Prawns may be frozen–thawed many times before
being consumed. The Frozen prawns may get
thawed (core temperature ~ 0 deg C) and refrozen
during transportation and repackaging. An increase
in the freeze–thaw cycles, greater than -180C,
results in augmenting Thiobarbituric acid (TBA)
value and cutting force while lowering the salt
soluble protein (SSP) value. This leads significant
deterioration in product quality. The prawns can be
freeze–thawed only up to 2 cycles. In addition, the

 To have maximum yield, there is a need for optimum
irrigation. The need of water depends on soil type,
crop type, and other parameters. Currently irrigation
happens based on human inspection and does not

type, seasons weather forecast, can be measured
and well used in optimizing water delivery as well as

 Background: Blood Pressure (BP) is a vital
monitoring parameter in clinical examinations. From
several years to till now, cuff based methods has
been used to measure BP non-invasively. Due to
limitations such as intermittent measurement of BP

Pressure (NIBP) patients having stents or patients with thickened Biomedical Devices
Meas arteries have cuff based BP measurements which
are inaccurate. Problem Statement: Develop a
smart sensing device that measures BP non-
invasively and continuously. It should also
differentiate between skin of an neonatal, infant,
healthy mature adult or a geriatric patient. Perhaps,
use AI to improve measurement or compensate for
offsets in measurements of patients with stents.
 Background: Patients are often administered

predominantly branded generics. Doctors write the
brand name of the drug rather than the active
ingredient name. (Eg. NISE instead of Nimesulide, or
Crocin instead of Paracetamol). Apart from OTC
(Over the Counter Drugs) a health care practitioner
(Doctor) can only prescribe a medicine. Hence the
end consumer is not the decision maker. To increase
revenue all the pharmaceutical companies strive to
get mind share of the doctor so that for a particular

multiple theories on why a doctor prescribes a
