Editor’s Note
With each passing day, the world is witnessing a major
influx of sensor technologies. Thanks to the discovery
of ‘Environmental’ sensors which are empowering the
civilization like never before! From portable real-time devices to insitu
monitoring, these sensors are playing a vital role in dismantling
the risks associated to the surroundings. This interesting take on
technology is proving to be a significant trend in the history of
High-Tech sensors. Today, the tech advancements are creating
miniature sensors – Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-enabled, which are
carrying out daily routines at ease and successfully increasing the
amount and precision of environmental data through
crowdsourcing.
Acknowledging the importance of data coming from the
government’s environmental sensors at their monitoring stations,
the scientist are assessing the perfect picture of where, when and
why pollution is happening. This helps in taking crucial steps and
ensures to pass on a Clean and Healthy earth to the Gen Z. As such,
technology and environmental sensors are going hand-in-hand and
building a win-win situation for the mankind.
Environmental
Sensors
Uncommoning
the Common Wall
Currently, the environmental sensors – optical, electronic, acoustic
wave, chemical, and new-age sensing materials based sensors are
performing eco-friendly operations and safeguarding the
surrounding to its core. These sensors are also dodging the perils
related to sensitivity, selectivity, and limit of detection in the longer
run. A platform is being developed on which people can rely on.
From smartphone embedded sensors to the wearable ones, the
successive waves of personalized environmental sensors are
surpassing the traditional barriers and changing the way data is
gathered, analyzed and consumed. In the near future, the humans
would be walking around with one or more sensors, enabling the
researchers, scientists and industry experts to gauge the real-time
data on temperature, NO 2, particulate levels in the air, and even
detect toxic chemical leaks.
This is surely a way towards attaining a pollution-free world!!

SENSORS INDIA
Made to Measure
World Leaders in Load Cells and
Patented Weighing Assemblies for Silo,
Vessel and Process Weighing

Modern life lead to the use of sensors as a core
component in almost all electronic devices and
machines. Sensors are becoming gradually
important in terms of operational area beginning with
mining of raw material to process, creating the final product,
and sale or export of the same. Thus, application of different
types of sensors facilitates numerous advantages and sensor
usage. It is a sector that is rapidly growing with the
expansion in sensor technology.
Established in 2011-12, Thames Side Sensors India Pvt.
Ltd. has eventually raised the standards since it had entered
into high-tech sensor solutions. The company manufactures
weighing sensors, popularly known as Load Cells based on
Strain Gauge technology. Strain-gauge based load cells are
used for various applications and constitute high accuracy.
From a small industrial unit to a large process plant, these
sensors are used in almost every sphere.
Thames Side Sensors India provides Weight Sensors, also
known as Load Transducers or Load Cells beside its
Assemblies, Junction Box or Summation Box. Along with
these, the company offers its Weight Indicators and
controllers as components to System Integrators and OEMs
who incorporate it in their machineries before supplying it
to Process Industries.
The Parent Company
Thames Side Sensors India Pvt. Ltd. is a subsidiary of
Thames Side Sensors Ltd. established in 1970, which is
amongst the world leaders in Industrial and Process
Weighing load cell technology. Headquartered in the UK
and having offices, sales partners and customers spread
across seventy countries and into every type of process
industry, the company has truly accomplished a global
presence. It has a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility
based at Barcelona, Spain with an additional factory in
Morocco.
Over forty years of experience to the world’s process
industries in sectors as varied as offshore, cement, food,
pharmaceuticals, minerals, metals, plastics and others, has
given Thames Side Sensors Ltd., extensive application
knowledge that allows it to become the expert adviser to the
customers on the correct selection and application of the
products.
The Hardship Story
Overcoming the challenges is what best describes Thames
Side Sensors India! Since stepping its foot on India’s shore,
the company had to deal with a number of challenges. The
Indian economy went into a recession around the time the
company was about to frame its cornerstones. It went
We offer excellent presales,
installation,
commissioning and
after-sales support
thru our Partners for our
entire product range
through the labor pain of all the new startups. The company
had no customer in India and the initial business was a
struggle. Even on marketing and sales front, there were
multiple challenges as the brand was unknown and there
were a number of reputed manufacturers already available.
Adding to the trouble, there were ultra-low-priced Chinese
products obtainable in the market.
In 2013, there was a massive upheaval in the currency. The
US Dollar and the Euro rates were at an all-time high,
increasing overall cost of products, making it almost
unviable for the customers. However, through persistent
rd
efforts, the company managed to break even in the 3 year
and turned profitable thereafter.
The initiation is never easy especially when one launches a
new business in a different country. The start of Thames
Side Sensors India was humble enough and dealt with its
fair share of struggles. Many a times, the company never
saw hurdles coming its way, and tripped over them. But
every time it tripped, the company learnt to get up and walk
an extra mile to achieve its goals.
Most of the competitor brands were already doing well in
India, making the start even more difficult for Thames Side
Sensors India to make a sales pitch to OEMs. However, the
company quickly realized not all competitors had the entire
product range and with that it handled the competition and
offered them products which complimented the
competitor’s product range. This strategy worked for
Thames Side Sensors India in establishing a niche in the
sector. The principle of doing business with OEMs and
system integrators was considered as a weakness, however

it gradually became the company’s strength in gaining more
clients.
Noteworthy Achievements
“We are the first choice of over 350 OEMs and System
Integrators involved in making machineries for Process
Weighing applications”
Started just seven years ago, Thames Side Sensors India is
one of the largest suppliers of high-quality load cells and
weighing accessories in India. The company has unique

India. Today, the company has a PAN India presence, with
carefully selected OEM partners and system Integrators at
strategic locations, who can provide pre-sales support and
post sales technical assistance from a location near to its
customers.
The Management
Mr. Josep Sabate and Mr. Steven Brown, are the two
foreign directors residing at Barcelona and UK respectively.
Mr. Brown has invested all his experience and time during
the formative years shuttling extensively between UK and
India.
The Indian operations are led by Mr. Rakesh Valeja, who
has over 2 decades’ experience in Industrial Weighing and
Process Automations. He has been acknowledged by the
management and his peers in making Thames Side Sensors

India.
Rakesh is a motivating team leader with exceptional
leadership skills. He is committed to energise, engage and
inspire others. Building long term relationships with
customers as well as with the team, is part of his
personality. He is passionate about work, believes in
customer delight and is willing to go an extra mile. He is
always on the lookout for new opportunities to grow the
company. He amazes customers with his quick response
time and this attribute has been adopted by the rest of the
team as well, gaining customer goodwill and loyalty.
Recognizing Customer’s Needs at its Best
During the formation of the company, team Thames did
several researches to understand what was needed by its
prospective customers. Most of them mentioned that they
need high quality products in competitive prices with short
term delivery. Guided by these expectations, the company
diligently worked towards meeting its customers’ needs and
succeeded to a great extent. Today, Thames Side Sensors is
amongst the top international load cell manufacturing
companies, who provide products to its customers on

Lthat are known to the humans, the
innovation of the biometric
technology is a boost to the secured world.
Currently, these technologies and their
applications are providing a means for
unique recognition of the humans based on
their physical or behavioral characteristics.
They also provide with the advanced
degrees of security than other technologies
which are engaged alone. Over the past
decade, the open market for biometrics
solutions has broadened ominously and
today, it includes the involvement of the
public and private sector applications

Say Hello to Biometrics
worldwide. Besides, the biometric technologies are
predominantly used in the law enforcement applications,
and they are still a vibrant component of these important
applications.
Advancement in Security through Logical Access
Control
The entire security systems are being enhanced with this
emergence of the biometric technology. Logical Access
Control is an application that refers to gain access to a
computer system which may be in the business workspace
or via a secured remote connection from a distant locality.
This application has changed the basic use of traditional
username and password. It also provides the organizations
and its personnel to emplace long and complex passwords.
This also includes the modalities based on recognition
mainly the Fingerprint and the Iris. Secured identity and
swift logging can be attained within seconds with this
application. These applications are easy to handle and can
be connected to the workspace of an organization via a
USB connection, or the sensor can be fixed into the
computer or wireless device itself.
Mitigating Security Weaknesses through Physical Access
Entry
The invention of the Biometric technology has introduced
its application on Physical Access Entry. It refers to giving
an employer access of a corporation or a business access to
January 2019| 27

ecure infrastructure, or even
sa secure workspace from
within. It has introduced the
world with the innovation of the
Smart Cards that are used to
mitigate the weaknesses regarding
security. Hand Geometry
Recognition and Vein Pattern
Recognition are used in association
with the client-server model to an
electromagnetic lock strike. The
Physical Access Entry has a greater
capacity to hold template storage.
Such type of technological
emergence can serve the large
applications much better. It allows
the efficient processing and
verification of the data storing it to
a central server.
Managing the Time and
Attendance
Organizations and businesses,
serving at any level have to keep a
track on their employees depending
upon the hours they have
functioned. However, using manual
based approaches provide a
gigantic organizational annoyance.
This is where the use of Biometric
technology can play a vital role in
Time and Attendance based
applications. This technology offers
centralized control and
administrative operations from
within one setting, and the
respective tasks associated with the
treating, the workforce can be fully
automated. Also, the electronic
recording of the entire clock in and
clock out times of every employee
is obtained. This resolves the issues
of the definite swing in the work.
The Biometric technology has
eliminated the security threat
modeled by the Buddy Punching.
Recognitions based on the finger,
hand geometry, vein pattern are
being used in a time and attendance
application.
Upgrading Law Implementation
The only way to strictly identify the dubious is by taking
their fingerprint and circulating that image through a
gigantic catalog. This approach is being satisfied by the
emergence of the Biometric technology including the
Automated Fingerprint Identification System, or also known
as AFIS. To confirm the identity of any suspects or wanted
criminals, the law enforcement organizations across all
stages of the Federal Government are using this technology.
This leads to transfer results of the criminal pursuits to the
requesting law enforcement organizations in less than 24
hours. Dormant fingerprint images can be collected from a
crime sight that can even be stored into the upgraded AFIS
process called the Integrated Automated Fingerprint
Identification System or the IAFIS databases that also
support the remote connectivity via a secured Wi-Fi
connection.
Techniques Enhancing the Surveillance
An established baseline is needed to determine any
abnormal behavior from a particular person or a large group
of people. This base is created by the Biometric technology
by introducing certain techniques that are positively
identifying any known criminal activity. These techniques
include the Overt and Covert type of surveillance, where
the businesses and organizations can know that they are
being observed. These surveillance techniques are used to
prevent the public settings with the deployment of facial
recognition. The Biometric technology enables finding an
individual whose identity can be confirmed, but his/her
locality is unknown through a micro or macro level
surveillance. The innovation of Biometric technology has
integrated the facial recognition technology with the CCTV
camera upgrading the level of surveillance and security
practices.
The future of Biometric technology will lead the world
towards using non-contactless modalities. Further, there
will be development in the common models and metrics for
identity management, critical standards, and interoperability
of electronic traits. The global biometrics market will surely
grow at a rapid pace with the need for improved security
and to mitigate the emerging instances of security breaches,
identify burglary and information hacking.

Expert’s Insight
How Enterprises can unlock newer
capabilities and augment growth
potential through digital transformation
Enterprises across the board, and of various sizes, are
increasingly realizing the value that digital
transformation brings to the business. Processes
and workflows in most small and medium enterprises are
still largely paper-based and non-digitized. Transforming
these processes with the help of technology is, therefore,
imperative to augment efficiency and productivity within
enterprises, before one even considers digitizing customerfacing
processes. A lack of efficiency in intra-organizational
processes makes digitized interactions with customers much
less effective, as the flow of information is hampered due to
paper-based processes governing decision-making.
Ensuring productivity is critical to achieving business goals
within the expected timelines, given the fact that offline
processes and communication channels present too many
barriers to workflows. One solution to overcome this issue
is to streamline processes, most importantly those that
involve how enterprise data is collected, shared, and stored.
This is the first step towards digital transformation, given
how critical data is to businesses in a modern digital
economy and business landscape.
Advantages of deploying cloud infrastructures for
enterprises
Digitizing documents and all enterprise data and then
automating the process of storing new data created in the
organization can bring a huge difference to workflows. This
is where the right enterprise application platform-as-aservice
(A-PaaS) product can make a world of difference.
Such platforms can streamline the flow of data based on the
processes they originate from, and then store it in a manner
such that departments and teams can easily access them and
apply them to subsequent processes.
A cloud-based enterprise application offers a simple
solution to digitize documents and workflows by scanning
and assigning those tags or barcodes to simplify their
classification based on departments and processes. At the
same time, it also automatically names and stores the
documents at the right location, as well as notifies the
concerned people about the document or data being
recorded on the platform.
Such streamlining eliminates repetition or duplication of
efforts, enabling organizations to carry out tasks which
would otherwise take as long as a whole day, are completed
in a fraction of a time. More importantly, then, this frees up
a significant amount of time for the concerned employee.
As a result, they can channel their efforts to more tasks that
add value to the organization.
By deploying cloud-based, automated enterprise platforms,
business leaders can focus on boosting efficiency,
standardizing operations digitally, and establishing seamless
workflows. Platforms that employ broad data mining,
analytics, and self-learning systems also enable enterprises
to design their products and services in a way that they
seamlessly align to business needs, manage administrative
and routine tasks efficiently, and offer customers unique
personalized experiences. Furthermore, businesses also
stand to enhance their competitiveness in a dynamic
enterprise landscape by adopting a more structured
approach to developing strategy, marketing, and customer
service by standardizing and automating business processes
in an end-to-end manner.
Paper-based processes reduce productivity and efficiency,
not to mention add to the operating costs. An end-to-end
enterprise platform, then, is the perfect solution for
businesses looking to transform digitally. That’s because it
automates not only the continuous digitizing of documents,
but also extracts data, records its, and analyzes it to
optimize workflows across the enterprise. Thus, as more
and more organizations strive to go paperless, cloud and
artificial intelligence will be among the most important
tools in the modern enterprise, as their applications span the
entire value-chain.

UTILIZING
SENSORS
TO
DEVELOP
Smart Cities
32
January 2019|

Editor’s Voice
With rapid urbanization and an ever-growing
population, the cities are handling a lot today. A
high concentration of population is slowly
increasing pressure on the available resources like land and
water which now need to be managed in a more efficient
way. Making cities “smarter” or developing a “Smart City”
is being touted as the solution to the impending problem.
A Smart City is defined as an urban area which uses
different types of sensors to collect data and supply
information used to manage the assets and resources
efficiently. A Smart city uses technology to improve its
existing infrastructure and add new service in order to
support the growing population. It is developed to provide a
safe, secure, environmental and efficient urban center with
advanced infrastructures such as sensors, electronic devices,
and networks to stimulate sustainable economic growth and
a high quality of life.
Sensing the Issues
The first step in the developmental concept of smart cities is
an Integrated Sensor Systems. A sensor is a device that
detects and responds to Physical parameters like light, heat,
motion, moisture, or pressure and converts them into an
electronic signal, which can be interpreted by humans or
can be stored in an autonomous system for reading or
further processing. An Integrated sensor system is
composed of multiple complementary sensors which are
internally as well as externally connected via wireless
network to a central unit that receives and processes data
creating a wireless sensor network. This multi-layer
networking is essential to satisfy the complex needs of
cities and demands for information necessary for smart
management.
Sensors are a crucial component of the whole system and
the concept of a smart city. A smart city is capable of
creating an efficient services delivery platform for public
and the municipal by installing sensors in the city. It also
creates a platform that allows the sharing of information
and gives it for proper use to the public, city managers,
businesses and professionals.
Classification and Types of Sensors
There are several ways in which sensors can be classified.
In the first classification of the sensors, they are divided into
Active and Passive on the basis of presence or absence of
an external power signal. Another classification is based on
the means of detection used in the sensor like Electric,
Biological, Chemical, Radioactive etc. Yet another
classification is based on conversion phenomenon i.e. the
input and the output like Photoelectric, Thermoelectric, etc.
The final classification of the sensors is Analog and Digital
Sensors on the basis of the output of data being continuous
or discrete and digital.
There are several types of sensors that can be put to use in
the smart city initiative based on their input. These are
Temperature Sensor, Proximity Sensor, IR Sensor (Infrared
Sensor) Pressure Sensor, Light Sensor, Smoke, Gas, and
Alcohol Sensor, Touch Sensor, Color Sensor, Humidity
Sensor, Tilt Sensor, Flow and Level Sensor and more.
Putting Sensors to Use
The sensors can be used for achieving the goal of optimal
use of resources. They can be used to control, detect issues,
make adjustments and manage the usage as per need. Here’s
January 2019| 33

how sensors can help address various challenges in
developing a smart city.
Water Management is very essential and it is estimated that
a major amount of this precious liquid is often wasted due
to leakages. Sensors fitted in pipes can detect these leakages
in time. They can also be used to manage the irrigation
system in the city and public parks.
Energy Management can be redefined using smart meters.
They can give real-time energy consumption details to
customers and alert the authorities about any snags or
disrupted supplies and help to mend them in no time.
Infrastructure Management can help maintain lights,
streets, public phone booths, public toilets and other basic
things. Street lighting can be better managed with sensors
which can help them turn off automatically in daylight,
trigger an alarm when they are at fault or there is a theft,
and be dimmed when areas have low activity etc.
Waste Management can be easier with sensors notifying the
authorities when they are full and need to be emptied or
they are damaged etc.
Transport Management is essential to avoid chaos or roads.
Sensors can be used to manage parking lots, routes that are
facing heavy traffic, clearing traffic for ambulances etc.
Pollution Management can be facilitated with sensors
monitoring the air quality and sound level of the city and
alarm the citizens and authority when the optimum levels
fail.
Healthcare Management can utilize sensors and help the
city hospitals to track accidents, breakouts, a spread of
diseases, hygiene conditions in various areas.
Law and Order Management can put to use these sensors
and video surveillance in order to check the city’s crime
rate. Sensors can trigger an alarm in the police department
in case of theft, sighting of wanted criminal and other cases.
The concept of Smart City has many layers to it with each
layer carrying out its specific task and interacting with the
others to achieve the common goal. Sensors form a very
basic and eminent layer which helps in taking efficient
decisions and managing the complete city. The whole task
of analyzing the requirement and the exact solution should
be handled with proper planning and without disrupting the
current growth of cities. Implementation of the smart city
concept will need collaboration among the scientists,
professionals, government, municipal workers, and people
in general who understand the issues ailing the cities
currently.
