ThingHz-IoTfying indoor farms
Thinghz is a project that ptovides real time monitoring and automation solution for indoor farm. This project consists of firmware for thinghz products, android application and AWS serverless backend
Open Thread implementation for industry 4.0
Openthread implementation for Industry 4.0. It is a solution for predective maintanace of motors. It uses vibrations sensor across inductry to check faults and wear and tear of motors
AWS Serverless architecture for IoT application
Created an AWS Serverless application using Node.js to serve as the backend for ThingHz – an IoT Wireless Sensor Network designed for indoor farming. Leveraged various AWS microservices including AWS IoT, Cognito, DynamoDB, SES, API Gateway, S3, CodeBuild, and CodeCommit. Additionally, hosted a WordPress website on AWS Lightsail to complement the sensor network.
Smart Culture Rack
This is Thinghz smart culture rack. It is used in Plant tissue culture. This rack helps the reasearcher withreal time monitoring and automation capability.

- I Completed my BTech in Electronics and Communication engineering.
- During my engineering I learnt embedded system and telecommunication concepts. Got handon experience in 8085 and PIC uControllers
- During this time along with ebedded I also learnt mobile application development in android.
- I also did an internship as technical sales engineer at surya telecome. Where i was involved in technical discussions with clients on DMR radio and wireless transreceivers.
- Completed My postgraduation in Embedded System technology.
- Here i learnt concepts of Embedded systems, Real Time OS and Machine learning.
- I used engage myself in different projects using embedded and android applciation
- I got introduced to machine learning during this duration. I got hands on experience on tensorflow and python during this time.
- I published my research paper on convolution neural network nueral network. Where I compared different filter sizes and compare there performances and loses.
"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-0617-4_60" - In my final project I made an android application that steer irrigation system and in the same application i used google cloud vision to predict disease in paddy. I named this application as "Plantis"
- Started my professional career in agritech sector. Explored this vertical to depth.
- Got introduced to IoT and cloud application for IoT.
- Developed efficient solutions leveraging technologies like IoT, cloud and AI.
- Got experience in writing embedded application using c/c++ and python. Got good understanding of RTOS and Linux.
- Got a chance to meet agri-researchers, farmers and industry experts.
- Engage myself in learning hardware and PCB designing.
- Made different applications using AWS serverless specificaly for IoT. worked on LoRa project, WSN network project.
- Worked on different projects leveraging IoT, AI, opencv and Linux.
- Worked new age IoT protocols like openthread and matter.
- Always document my work on blog sites and github. This helped me to persue my career further as a developer advocate.
- ThingHz started as my side project with an idea to create real time monitoring and automation solution for indoor agriculture.
- Started working on various product ideas and concepts. Interacted with industry leaders, various agriculture researchers, plant biotechnologists and farmers to understand problem statement.
- During the covid time i started by making a PCB for a simple wireless sensor node with ESP32, breakout for different I2C sensors and RFM 95 SX1276 lora nodes. Then gradually i satarted working on PCB design for gateway using ESP32 and SImCOM NBIoT. I made firmware for nodes and gateways and tested it on my mushroom farm.
- Then I went one step ahead by making IOT backend for these sesnsors.
- I also made android application for to visualize WSN data.
We found our niche in Plant tissue culture lab. Finally ThingHz became reality. Incorporated it as Private Limited company. We introduced our noval invention "Smart tissue culture rack"
Our noval invention "Smart culture rack" became a hit among agriculture researchers and plant biotechnologists. Covered 3 states of north India. Got orders from SKUAST Jammu, CSKHPKV Palampur and CSIR IHBT Palampur.
