Automotive
The automotive industry consists of companies—often referred to as automakers—that are involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. However, this definition excludes businesses focused solely on the post-sale maintenance and servicing of automobiles.
Among the 50 countries with the infrastructure to assemble or manufacture vehicles, only 13 nations—including India—possess the capability to design vehicles entirely from scratch. Notably, India with over 6 million motors produced in 2024 ranked 4th among the top 20 motor vehicle-producing countries in 2025. Major global automotive groups by production volume include Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, Hyundai, Ford, Nissan, Fiat Chrysler, Suzuki, Honda Cars/ Motorcycle and Renault.
Over the past few decades, the Indian automotive industry has played a significant role in the nation’s economic development. Often referred to as the “industry of industries” due to its mass production and mass consumption dynamics, the automotive sector fuels a vast ecosystem. Condition monitoring and test and measurement equipment have had big role in this industry at production plants and at service centres.
Condition Monitoring – Key Applications
- Online Monitoring Systems – Measure various operational parameters continuously across the production premises
- Engine Monitoring Systems – Track engine performance, efficiency, and early signs of mechanical faults
- Factory Noise Monitoring and Insulation – Identify noise levels and implement soundproofing measures to meet compliance and safety standards
- Temperature Measurement – Utilize non-contact sensors or laser vibrometers and thermal imaging instruments for accurate and safe temperature assessment
- Metal Fault Detection using Acoustic Emissions – Detect internal flaws, stress, or fatigue in metal components for preventive maintenance
Test & Measurement Few Examples
- Eye Movement Recorder – Applied in ergonomic design and development to enhance user comfort, safety, and efficiency
-
Perimeter Surveillance – Deployed across factory setups and industrial facilities to ensure comprehensive security and operational monitoring.
