Genpact Supply Chain Practice

Heavy industrial equipment manufacturers (e.g., OEMs) that produce Industrial equipment products on the field such as aircraft engines, gas turbines, locomotives, etc., typically lose track of critical asset attributes, from a standpoint of operational and technical parameters, once they are sold to customers. These products often cost millions of dollars and are in operation over multiple decades.

As a result, there is a high probability of losing abilities to trace future equipment service maintenance opportunities accurately as well as associated aftermarket service revenues. Such circumstances also result in improper planning in terms of parts and repairs, field service technician deployment, and slot scheduling at the repair shop for maintenance activity execution. As a result, equipment downtime leaves high costs for OEM and dissatisfied customers due to long lead maintenance cycle time.

Achieving the identification of aftermarket service revenue by the traditional approach with just non-real-time data has been not very effective. This is predominantly because of challenges, such as disjointed accessibility to asset datasets, data processing time, the accuracy of the data, and lack of integration between maintenance policies, which result in improper execution of maintenance activity.

To address the above-mentioned issues, smart and proactive management of equipment downtime is essential which should focus on carrying out experimentation on data (real-time and non-real-time) from equipment with the aid of industrial internet (IIOT) technologies, harnessing algorithms and analytics to achieve the following:

Improve data quality for aftermarket service forecasting:

How? Traditional data sources have quality issues and have not been fully utilized for maintenance. Leveraging real-time sensor data from connected assets. Utilizing data extraction techniques from legacy systems and perform automated supervised learning-based quality checks to identify the source of quality degradation. Deploy machine learning (ML) driven data monitoring and purification techniques to improve data quality.

Increase the accuracy of aftermarket service revenue forecast:
How? Validate the current predictive forecasting approach, harness real-time/non-real-time data, and compare with different types of equipment downtime, the right usage of maintenance policies to improve the accuracy of the forecast.

Reduce aftermarket service lead time for asset maintenance:
How? Usage of derived accurate forecast to reduce the lead time for equipment maintenance by enabling the proactive availability of parts, repairs and field technicians at right time (which potentially can take many months today).

Figure 1: Example of product life cycle

Market opportunity (Illustration)

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), new investments of around $1 trillion will go into building natural gas-fired power plants over the next two decades.

In 2016 alone, aftermarket service maintenance revenue for gas turbines was $40 billion. The opportunity of ~50 years of turbine life and extended to other similar assets (such as aircraft engines, locomotives, etc.) are at least an order of magnitude higher.

(The split includes parts, repairs, and technician services, and excludes new sales). 

Figure 2: Global Gas Turbine System Equipment and Parts Market

This structured approach of harnessing real-time data with maintenance data alongside maintenance policies will lead to not only accurate asset downtime predictions but also proactive identification of aftermarket service revenue for heavy industrial equipment manufacturers.

Other positives of this approach are that it aids the effective maintenance execution by proactively planning for parts and repairs; reduces the part procurement cycle time; leads to more timely deployment of field service technicians, and supports proactive scheduling of the right time slot at maintenance/repair shops (in the instances where the on-field repairs are difficult to achieve).

Overall, the embedment of industrial internet of things (IIOT) technologies provides a greater advantage in equipment downtime management in a proactive manner as compared to the traditional reactive manner, with an optimal cost and with the highest execution efficiency resulting in increased customer satisfaction.

Economic outcomes

Industries that will be able to take advantage of such an approach include heavy industrial machinery (aircraft engines, locomotives, etc.), energy and utilities (gas turbines, wind farms, etc.), and mining (rigs, cranes, etc.), among others.

• For an industrial equipment manufacturer aftermarket service revenue enhancement due to maintenance opportunity identification
• On time reach to customers or channel partners in reducing the revenue opportunity leakage to competition

Societal outcomes

For OEM: Provides an extensive visibility on asset outage manageability to ensure the cost of an outage is under profitable threshold with highest customer satisfaction.

For customer: Lesser asset down time, increase throughput resulting in better customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score (NPS).

“Nowhere is Safe”, said Sir David King, former UK Chief Scientific Advisor, of the violent heat in Canada, in the July of 2021, when temperatures soared to 48-49 celsius, in the western hemisphere. There is no doubt that the urgency for mitigating the effects of climate change is going to require exponential disruptions to eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels.

One such start-up, developing breakthrough solutions in replacing fossil fuel with hydrogen as a clean energy source is Ossus Biorenewables. The start-up has developed an AI-powered, intelligent bioreactor, the OB HydraCel, which accesses carbon in the wastewater from process industries and supplies these industries with on-demand, on-site hydrogen gas.

Ossus, founded in 2017, is a Bangalore based green hydrogen start-up, directly addressing the need for a carbon-free source of heat in process industries. What differentiates them from others in the clean energy space, is their use of waste carbon as the feedstock for green hydrogen. Typically their technology is directed at the petrochemical, steel, textile, paints, pharmaceutical, fertiliser, ammonia and other chemical industries.

Ossus Biorenewables is among the 12 startups that are part of the sixth edition of Qualcomm Design in India Challenge (QDIC) – an initiative to encourage design houses and product companies to invent useful and innovative hardware products designs incorporating Qualcomm SoC platforms and technologies. The startup is bestowed with the opportunity to convert its design submissions into workable prototypes under the mentorship of industry experts, utilizing the Qualcomm® Innovation Lab infrastructure.

“When we pitched to be a part of QDIC 2021, we were already looking to make a transition from IoT-based automatic to ML-based autonomous control systems for the HydraCel. What Qualcomm did for us, was to exponentially accelerate this transition. By integrating a Qualcomm chip set with inbuilt machine learning capabilities, we could combine the best of biology and artificial intelligence to create a paradigm shift in the hydrogen space. Our bioreactors are now able to intelligently correct for any changes in the wastewater quality at a client’s site and consistently deliver hydrogen gas. QDIC took this one step forward by incentivizing IP filing and we now have two patents filed as a result of our participation in the program. The HydraCel is at the bleeding edge of clean energy and Industry 4.0 and currently producing hydrogen for one of India’s largest steel manufacturers at Jamshedpur.” She states.

We spoke to Dr. Suruchi Rao, the co-founder of Ossus Biorenewables, who explained about the existential crisis of climate change that is pushing the energy transition across the process and manufacturing sectors and driving a market for their technology in India and globally.

Electrolysis of water, simply put, is the splitting of water into its constituent molecules hydrogen and oxygen in dedicated reactors known as electrolyzers. For Ossus believes, there are three key stressors when defining only water splitting and electrolyzers as the source of green hydrogen.

One, splitting a molecule as stable as hydrogen requires extremely high power inputs. Two, is the manufacturing of electrolyzers and the high costs associated with using rare earth metals such as Iridium and Platinum as electrode material. Three, is the use of fresh water or ultra-high purity water for electrolysis, which would cause a resource constraint of enormous proportions. At Ossus, they are mitigating all these stressors via the OB HydraCel device. It is an intelligent green hydrogen reactor which requires as little as 0.76 kWHr for every kilogram of hydrogen it produces, as opposed to the average of 50-55 kWHr required by the best electrolyzers for the same volume. Ossus Biorenewables and their intelligent bioreactor, the OB HydraCel, become game changers, using designer microbes to utilise waste water for hydrogen gas production.

By using sustainable materials as catalysts, without the use of iridium or platinum, Ossus is manufacturing intelligent bioreactors indigenously, which is extremely important for a country like India that aims to meet its target of 10 gigawatts electrolyzer capacity.

“Most importantly, with the OB HydraCel and its ability to tap into wastewater as a feedstock, there is enhanced circularity brought to the green hydrogen economy. By coupling water treatment to the production of green hydrogen, we have reduced the stress on local fresh water resources. Nowhere is this more evident at the moment than in India, with its newly released National Hydrogen Policy”, explains Suruchi.

“We are combining the best of biology and artificial intelligence to create a paradigm shift in the hydrogen space. Our bioreactors are easy to install, unmanned and scaled out, allowing process industries to set up their own pace when it comes to increasing hydrogen capacity at an industrial site. The HydraCel is at the bleeding edge of clean energy and Industry 4.0 and currently producing hydrogen for one of India’s largest steel manufacturers at Jamshedpur,” she adds.

The interdisciplinary team and their principle approaches to tackle their clients’ problems are the reasons for Ossus’ rapid traction across the industry in India. They have now set their eyes on raising funds for expanding exponentially across multiple industries, with several 1000 kg (1 ton) per day installations, in India and then moving to Europe to capture the billion dollar hydrogen market.

Prashant Warier, CEO and Founder, Qure.ai

Healthcare is one of the fundamental pillars of society. However, over the past 2 years, rapidly rising COVID-19 infection caseloads have placed global health systems under pressure, often threatening to overwhelm available resources. Now more than ever, the role of technology, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, in assisting medical practitioners and alleviating the extraordinary burden placed on them, is coming to the fore.

Qure.ai is a home-grown AI solutions provider that is disrupting the ‘status quo’ in diagnostics by enhancing imaging accuracy and improving health outcomes with the assistance of AI. We tap deep learning technology to automate interpretation of radiology exams for time and resource-strapped healthcare professionals, enabling faster diagnosis and speed to treatment. Our goal is to make healthcare more accessible and affordable to patients worldwide.

In mid-2020, we started working with secondary care hospitals in rural and semi-urban areas of India, that was delivering last mile healthcare connectivity. Some of these are in isolated tribal areas but host close to 100,000 OPD visits annually. With scarce resources, they were already handling a significant burden of Tuberculosis (TB), but had to swiftly respond to COVID-19 as well. Most did not have RT-PCR testing facilities nearby, increasing the diagnosis time by days, and exposing the limited staff to COVID-19.

Imaging procedures have been established to be the most effective method of evaluating the lung state of COVID-19 patients as well as measuring the disease’s rate of progression. The use of chest X-rays as a first investigation prior to confirmatory testing could be done because these hospitals have chest X-ray facilities. However, the scarcity of trained chest physicians and limited access to teleradiology services meant analysing chest X-rays could take days, leaving little time for reporting. We realised that our technology could help physicians in these hospitals in caring for vulnerable populations despite their resource constraints

In partnership with ACT Grants, we undertook a project to implement qXR, our AI algorithm for chest X-ray interpretation, in 20 select charitable and government hospitals across 14 states in India. The objective was to strengthen COVID-19 response by scaling up the usage of qXR for triage and critical care management. qXR was used across the following use cases:

AI for COVID-19 Triage

qXR was used for triage or immediate isolation based on chest X-rays, which played an important role before confirmatory tests, screening for infectious diseases when dedicated radiology services were unavailable.

AI for COVID-19 Surveillance

In several hospitals, qXR was used in chest X-ray surveillance mode to track asymptomatic or incidental COVID-19 cases that might otherwise be missed. Based on the screening result, they were deferred till diagnosis or handled with appropriate additional safety measures in case of an emergency.

AI for COVID-19 Progression Monitoring

In hospitals with COVID wards, qXR was used as an objective disease progression monitoring tool. At sites where digital X-Ray setups were not available or integration was not possible, Qure.ai’s app qTrack was used by the hospital team to take a photo of the chest X-Ray film. The digitised photo would be analysed by Qure.ai’s AI software to check for COVID-19 indications.

AI for Other Clinical Uses

Over the course of the project period, qXR’s role evolved, and included its use as a training tool for junior doctors, being used to help ensure safety of clinical and hospital staff, its use as one of the mechanisms to correct for false negatives of the RAT, and for Tuberculosis screening and other lung ailments.

The journey of Qure.ai

Established in 2016, the company has grown in leaps and bounds in terms of revenue, clients and geographical presence. The startup’s dedicated effort to build out-of-the-box healthcare technology solutions that can help health professionals to improve their practices and deliver quality patient care has won Qure.ai many prestigious awards including the Nvidia Social Innovation Award and Forbes Awards for Innovation.

In the year 2020, this Mumbai-based healthcare startup initiated a partnership with the world’s leading pharmaceutical firm, AstraZeneca A.Catalyst Network through the India Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre. The motive behind this collaboration is to stimulate the integration of ingenious artificial intelligence solutions and analyse the deep learning algorithms to support the early detection of lung cancer in patients. This will help healthcare providers extend absolute care, reduce mortality rates, and boosts patient outcomes. Both the organization share the vision of exploring the market opportunities in India, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Qure.ai banded together with leading organizations like Stanford University, the Mayo Clinic, and the Massachusetts General Hospital to leverage AI and fabricate medical technologies. In India, it has collaborated with NITI Aayog, Piramal Foundation’s Piramal Swasthya initiative, and PATH NGO to nurture and further the advancement of radiology and pathology across the country. The company is said to have utilized above 3.5 million data to condition an AI algorithm that ensures accurate diagnostics, enhancing patient care.

The company is supported by investors like fractal, Sequoia, and MassMutual. It has raised around $16 million in financing for AI. Qure.ai’s Brain CT has bagged funding from the NHS as well. It has a huge research partners and customers list that includes big giants such as MAX Healthcare, AWS, FujiFilms, Azure, Intel, and others.
