Tell us about your flagship products and highlight your USP.
Napino has an array of technology products, along with a few flagship ones such as O2 Sensors, Electric Motor, Location and environmental sensing solutions, Telematics, Smart Wearable, People/Asset/Pet tracking solutions, and so on.
O2 Sensors is a resistive technology that supports the demand for oxygen sensors for the Indian automobile industry by reducing emission levels and increasing fuel efficiency, simultaneously offering a significant cost advantage. Electric Motor or the Switch Reluctance Motor (SRM) technology eliminates expensive permanent magnets and rare-earth metals in motor construction, essentially offering a magnet-free technology. This technology is also more efficient at high speeds and suitable for operation in harsh and tropical climatic conditions such as those in India. Sending vehicle's raw data on a server like Speed, RPM, Location, DTCs, and so on, Telematics unit can be used in two-wheelers as well as four-wheelers.
The advantage of Napino's Telematics unit is to secure and monitor vehicles all the time. We have manufactured the world's first self-sufficient and intuitive smartwatch for health and sports, which focuses on weight loss, hypothermia, sleep disorders, and more. Our Smart Tracking & Environment Monitoring (STEM) enables a user to seamlessly manage and monitor various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, location, pressure, and so on. The device is certified for usage in multi-modal transportation such as Air, Land, and Sea and can be integrated into any platform or application over standard protocols such as MQTT or TCP/IP. This device comes with an IP65 rating and is completely designed and manufactured in India. The Beacon Tag is a new generation beacon that has Bluetooth® 5.2 hardware platform, hidden push-button, 3-axis accelerometer, environmental sensor.
Tag advertises standard iBeacon environmental sensor (temperature and humidity) data and accelerometer sensor data simultaneously. Napino has partnered with global companies to produce wireless tracking devices for logistics, pets, and people in real-time. The asset trackers have multi-sensors, can be connected through GPS, GSM, Bluetooth, or Cellular connectivity. These lightweight portable devices are equipped with batteries that can last years.
Is there any innovation or up-gradation happening in your R&D?
Napino has consistently invested in new and innovative technology in software as well as hardware platforms. This up-gradation has been achieved by bringing new age products such as Cloud-based telematics unit, Body Control Module, EV Diagnostic solution, Ride-Assist Technology, Quick Shifter, Blind Spot Detection System and Continuously Variable Planetary Transmission (CVPT), Smart Home products to name a few.
We at Napino recognize the need to build sustainable mobility solutions and bringing smart technology from ideation to value generation
Napino's engineering team relies on the latest software & simulation tools such as; ANSYS, MISRA, ETAS, Autodesk, Creo, CATIA, MATLAB, Cadence, Allegro, SPEED, Flux, and so on. Napino also works collaboratively with several design companies and IP rights owners to adopt the latest technology in the products manufactured by Napino.
