Nagpur: Students of SB Jain Institute of Technology, Management & Research (SBJITMR) showcased their innovative model, ‘Secure 360', at the recently held Advantage Vidarbha fair. The device focuses on three key areas — women's safety, accident prevention, and home security.
Union minister Nitin Gadkari and MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar visited the SBJITMR stall and examined the product. Gadkari appreciated the innovation and urged mentor Rahul Pethe and his team to refine the model for mass adoption.
As part of the women's safety initiative, the students have designed a smart shoe with an embedded chip. In case of an emergency, it automatically sends the wearer's live location to family members via SMS.
The second innovation, a special helmet, is designed to enhance accident safety. It not only alerts the user's family about the accident location but also features a built-in mini airbag to reduce head injuries.
The third development is an RFID-enabled smart home lock. If an intruder attempts to break in, the system instantly sends a text alert to the homeowner's mobile device.
Speaking to TOI, mentor Rahul Pethe said, "We are in the process of obtaining a design patent and copyright for our project. Once secured, we plan to develop it into a market-ready product."
Another highlight of the expo was a robot named ‘Baby Doll', developed by SBJITMR students. The institute has already signed MoUs with several companies for its further development.
