You can monitor an aging family member by using a wearable alarm button and other wireless
                  sensors placed around the home. The BeClose system can track your loved one’s daily routine
                  and give you peace of mind for their safety by alerting you to any serious disruptions detected
                  in their normal schedule.

                  IoT devices in the  home can  include smart thermostats,  lighting
                  systems,  security cameras, and appliances, all of which can be
                  controlled remotely or automatically.
                  IoT is  here to stay and expand.  Many new applications with rich
                  functionality can be built that will revolutionise our lives. Think of
                  driverless cars and an automatically managed traffic system using
                  IoT sensors, which result in fewer accidents. Truly, in the world of IoT,      Smart Thermostats
                  only our imagination is our ultimate limit.


                      3D PRINTING
                  3D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a technology which was
                  first developed at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in
                  the 1980’s. It is the process of making a physical object from a
                  three-dimensional digital model. In this technology, we use the
                  3D digital data on the computer to build 3D objects by adding
                  layers of material which could be polymers, metals, concrete or
                  even plant and human tissue. 3D Printing helps to bridge the gap            3D Printing Technology
                  between ideas and images on a page or screen and the creation of those ideas/images in the

                  physical 3-Dimensional world.
                  The major applications of 3D Printing are:

                                                     Education: It is widely used in the education sector. It prepares
                                                   the  students  for  their  future  by  allowing  them  to  create
                                                   prototypes without the need for tooling and extensive work.
                                                   It helps the students to design and produce models they can
                                                   hold and feel.

                      3D Printing in Education

                       Rapid Prototyping (RP) Method: It is used to create models to
                     quickly test a new product before mass production. 3D Printing can
                     be termed as a RP method.
                                                                                                      3D Prototype
                                               Medicine:  In the last several years,  3D Printing applications have
                                             increased manifold in the world of medicine. They range from
                                             bioprinting – where biological materials like cells and growth factors
                                             are  fused to create  tissue-like  structures  replicating their natural
                                             equivalents  –  to  medical devices like prosthetics. With  3D Printing,
                   3D Printed Equipments     prosthetics can be modeled, customised and printed at lower costs
                                             and less time.
