Tracing Our Roots & Growth
2003
Origins
Born in the year with a plan to focus on condition monitoring with primarily Vibrations on the forefront. iAdept had its share of humble origins with minimalistic team and basic infrastructure. Starting from a something that looked like a back-office operation, iAdept has moved up the reputation rank as a significant contender within Condition Monitoring, Test, Measurement and Data Collection equipment.
2004
First DAQ at AMU
iAdept sold its very first Data Acquisition Systems to a university research project team at the Aligarh Muslim University. Very many products including tailor made solutions have been deployed at various universities across the country.
2005
First Stroboscope to Steel Authority of India Ltd
iAdept included stroboscopes within the offerings in 2005 and within the same year, bagged its first order from Steel Authority of India Ltd. for a product with less than few months in the market, it was a major moral booster for the team.
iAdept tried to keep ahead of the technology introduction curve and introduced from time to time best in class technology products.
2006
First Stroboscope to Steel Authority of India Ltd
iAdept Now Has World Bank Authorized Vendor Tag-
iAdept was selected for World Bank sponsored environment impact analysis for dedicated freight corridor. iAdept was responsible for measurement of vibration impact, sound, soil and people survey at existing rail network and prediction of impact of new corridor being setup through the region.
This was amongst the first major railway related projects iAdept bagged for analysis and survey early within its life span.
—————————————Diesel Engine Analysis Launch-
Division catering to diesel engine analysis was launched in 2006. A revolutionary product this division has virtually no competition even after a decade of launch. Multiple units sold operated as well as upgraded over a decade of marine operations amongst other achievements.
Diesel engine analysis continues to find acceptance within marine applications of repair analysis of diesel propelled vessels as also extensive use on the backup DG sets with indicator corks.
2007
iAdept brings Eye Movement Recorder to India
With multiple installations on areas as diverse as Physiology, Research and Ergonomics, eye movement recorders added weight to the strong array of offerings from iAdept in 2007. A unique product that came as a relief for research based projects that were looking for such systems and not finding any for a significant time period.
2008
Made In India Vibration Analyzer Software
Long before Make In India calls gained prominence, iAdept was the only Indian OEM creating its software war-chest to take on world giants dominating vibration analysis and balancing equipment.
First version named Factory Manager-TM took through 2008 to develop and be tested with equipments from two leading manufacturers from Europe and Japan.
2009
Factory Manager Vibration Software International Sales Begin
Factory Manager licenses started getting picked up by vibration consultants and small setups. With local development and assembly, Factory Manager proved to be a strong offering with affordable prices really early on. Advance features including Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Route Collection, ISO-10816 Alarms etc made a strong case within the India market.
Benstone Equipments USA was the first international customer for Factory Manager. The software was deployed for their G-Tech arm at Taiwan.
Local Maintenance Hub Setup
iAdept has increasingly felt the need for local support availability for the international products that take long for repair and maintenance. iAdept has thus setup a team to locally handle easily manageable issues that could save client time, effort and dollars for repair. With staff trained at client premises, we are able to not only provide calibration and servicing but also identify defective parts to order from principles.
2010
iAdept Eye Movement Recorder Sourced for LCA Program-
iAdept was proud to associate with development of India’s first indigenous fighter aircraft Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). Eye Movement Recorder sourced from the USA was deployed to develop ergonomics within the aircraft.
LCA program has since developed multiple versions of the fighter jet.
iAdept Explores Thermal Imaging for Reliance Industries-
Thermal imaging was fast becoming a leading technology related to condition monitoring and iAdept wasn't to be left behind. Introduction of the division was quite successful with Reliance Industries being the first client for iAdept in the segment.
2011
iAdept Customizes Solution for India’s Premier Institute IIT Madras
A rare feet when iAdept shone abilities and tailoring solutions was to provide India’s premier engineering institute IIT Madras. Sourcing products, parts and software from four different countries and manufacturers including USA, United Kingdom, France, Japan and worked them together to setup for analyzing fracture process of rocks on the sea bed using Piezoelectric Transducers, Laser Vibrometer, Amplifier and an Oscilloscope working together.
iAdept Tailors Ultrasonic Solution for CBRI
iAdept takes pride in finding solutions that will work for you. When Central Building Research Institute approached iAdept with its specific problems, we went out of the way and beyond our offerings to provide a solution that worked for CBRI.
With this initiative, iAdept also included ultrasonics within its offerings portfolio with wide range of applications over the years.
2012
Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Surveillance Requirement
iAdept thermal imaging surveillance arm solves specific need of DRI related to surveillance binoculars. iAdept worked closely with the Delhi and Chennai units. The result was not just top of the line product tailor sourced to meet requirements but also inclusion of surveillance within thermal imaging as an offering for iAdept.
Leak Detector for Oil Company-
Leaks are a major source of revenue loss and what better example than oil companies who have liquid gold to secure. SR Oils was the first customer for pipe leak detectors from iAdept. The list post that is endless as iAdept is proud to be amongst the first to offer relevant technology solutions.
2013
Indian Navy Completes DK-2 Deployment-
Indian Navy secures all its maintenance depots across India with iAdept supplied DK-2’s. DK-2 happens to be a revolutionary product focussed on diesel engine performance analysis. A product that has remained largely maintenance free through its usage span.
What better user acceptance than one product test leading to an order for umbrella deployment across all locations in the country. Over the years as technology changed and upgraded Navy has begun ordering latest generation DK-20’s in 2016.
Honda Procures Engine Diagnostic System
iAdept’s diagnostic instruments offering of engine analyzers saw another major brand pick instrument with distinct qualities of engine analysis, fault identification and tuning. Honda though was the first to identify with the product, other majors joined in soon to provide the best manufactured engines in India and internationally.
2014
iAdept wins LARGEST Vibration Data Collector Order
A long set of discussions, budgetary quotes, tenders, re-tenders, user testing preceded decision on the LARGEST India order of Vibration data collector equipment. A formidable opposition including likes of Rockwell Automation, Pruftechnik, SPM, SKF Condition Monitoring, Crystal Instruments, IRD Mechanalysis, about 10 of world’s leading companies had bid for the global tender.
iAdept not only trumped the biggest brands in the world but also successfully deployed 35 high capability Vibration Data Collector with its own Vibanalyst Software across all Navy locations in India.
2015
Human Body Scanners in India
Unlike popular belief, Human Body Scanners are more versatile and usable besides airport security. iAdept is of the firm belief that the technology could greatly benefit large measurement projects especially where mass apparel designs are involved. The order landed from the government establishment automating personnel physical information gathering for clothing and anthropological database. Within a few seconds span, the equipment's can measure and store information for a large set of subjects in diverse application including fashion industry.
2016
iAdept Participates in Prime Minister’s Pet Golden Quadrilateral Railway Project for Noise & Vibration Analysis
With the coveted project handed over to iAdept for Vibrations and Noise analysis, iAdept tied up with AV Ingenico's Spain who are leaders in railway technology to provide beyond scope analysis and predictions.
