The Machinist|June 2024
In an interview with The Machinist Magazine, Rohin Parkar, Co-founder and CEO of Spintly, discusses their cutting-edge solution and how it addresses prevalent issues in smart building spaces. He also highlighted the company's plans to diversify its solutions for smart industrial applications, expand operations, and relocate its entire contract manufacturing to India.
SPINTLY'S INGENIOUS MESH NETWORK TRANSFORMS EVERY DEVICE INTO A DATA RELAY

How is Spintly aiming to leverage and adapt their underlying technologies such as IoT and cloud computing for smart manufacturing applications in the future? Do you see any scope for such diversification?

In the manufacturing industry, control over machinery and processes is essential to maximise machine uptime. Machine components generate vast amounts of data essential for optimising processes, and in large facilities, millions of sensors are wired to centralised controllers to gather and manage this data. With the automation of manufacturing processes on the rise, there is a growing demand for sensors. However, traditional automation methods relying on centralised wired systems are becoming more expensive.

Spintly addresses this challenge by leveraging wireless sensors within a mesh network with a distributed architecture. Ideal for applications like process control and preventive maintenance, this technology provides a solution that caters to the demands of modern manufacturing. With over 4,000 deployments across India and globally, Spintly has developed an access control system using a distributed architecture on a wireless mesh platform. As Spintly continues to evolve, it aims to expand from access control into smart buildings and eventually into sophisticated smart industrial applications.

What sets Spintly's innovative architecture apart from competitors?

Spintly simplifies and reduces the cost of installation compared to traditional, centralised systems. Unlike other solutions that require extensive wiring and bulky hardware, Spintly's ingenious mesh network transforms every device into a data relay, eliminating the need for complex cabling and minimising upfront costs. Additionally, the distributed nature of the mesh network allows for effortless scalability, seamlessly integrating more devices as needed without significant infrastructure changes.
