Poka-yoke and go/no-go gauging
Inspection finds defects; poka-yoke stops them being made. I study the process to find where each defect starts, then design the error-proofing: a fixture that only accepts the right part, a sensor that checks the step was done, a PLC interlock that won't cycle until it has, a go/no-go gauge for the dimension that matters. Where a gauge isn't enough I add a vision or leak-test check. Every device is validated and written into the control plan. Design is remote; fitting and validation are on site around Coimbatore.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with clients outside India?
Yes, remotely. I share drawings and code through a shared folder or Git, and take calls in Indian working hours.
Can you come to our plant?
For on-site services, within the Coimbatore region. Everywhere else I work remotely.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes.
Who owns the drawings and code?
You do, after final payment. You get native files (EPLAN, AutoCAD, PLC project archives, source code), not just PDFs.
How do you invoice?
GST invoice from ElectronIx for clients in India; international clients pay by bank transfer. Payment terms are agreed in the written quote.
How fast do you reply?
Within 1 working day, Mon–Sat, 10:00–19:00 IST.
