Constant R&D is one of the driving fundamentals of the company

In an interview with EPR Magazine, Jitendra Agrawal, Managing Director, Motwane Group, shares more on the current market trends in test and measurement and how the company is evolving with new IoT and Cloud-based solutions.

What innovations and challenges do you foresee in the diagnosis of the global power sector and how is Motwane evolving to adapt to such changes?

The power sector is undergoing a massive transformation because of IoT (Internet of Things) solutions. By providing real-time intelligent analytical data, trending and predictive analysis, it will help to improve operational productivity, efficiency, and enhancing residual life of the assets.

Motwane has designed and developed MOT-WARE: a cloudbased test data platform to aid in accurate health assessment of assets. MOT-WARE is a huge leap forward in the test and measurement industry. It is revolutionising the way tests are conducted and analysed.

MOT-WARE captures data from a full range of BLE-enabled Motwane testing equipment. It is accessible from web-based applications, Desktop App, and Mobile App. In addition, it offers an open architecture that can seamlessly integrate with any non-Motwane testing equipment for quick and authentic digital test data.

How is Motwane expanding? & How has the recent acquisition of Telemetrics helped the company in strengthening its T&M platform?

Motwane is expanding through organic and inorganic growth. Organically, we have designed and developed various products and solutions from our state-of-the-art R&D in diversified categories, which includes solutions for the diagnosis of lightning arrester, circuit breaker, transformer oil, real-time monitoring of transformers, motors, among others. We have also developed energy conservation solutions like IoT-based street lighting solutions, online chiller monitoring, and other energy management solutions, to accelerate key sectors towards achieving carbon neutrality

Our strategic acquisition of Telemetrics, an established market leader in highly specialised underground cable fault locating equipment, expanded further smart test and measurement solutions to our clients, and thus strengthened our portfolio in India and the global market.

For Motwane, it is a perfect strategic fit that will enhance the company’s product range, spur growth, increase market share, and, as a result, aligns with Motwane’s vision of becoming a key global player in the electrical Test & Measurement industry.

How is Motwane increasing its global reach?

We have taken certain key objectives for our global expansion including internationalisation of the company, leverage technology, expand and upgrade the brand, upskill employees, among others.

To accomplish these objectives, we have started our office at Sharjah, UAE to address the GCC and MENA markets and appointed country managers for GCC, Egypt, Kenya, South East Asia, East Africa, Europe and Latin America.

Constant R&D is one of the driving fundamentals of the company. Our diverse global presence empowers us to build scale efficiency, and through our variety of project sizes, teams, and locations.

What opportunities do you see for Motwane in the future?

Motwane is looking forward to playing a lead and pivotal role at the global level as an innovative partner and thought leader for its customers. Our Test Data Platform MOT-WARE and Motwane AI & Analytics shall empower all our customers, future engineers and thus enable them to enter the world of Big Data.
