THE REALITY

India built 30 years of IT talent.
Industry 4.0 demands something different.

The old model — where thousands of engineers from every branch entered IT services — is fracturing. Mass hiring has reduced. Generic roles are being automated. Entry-level coding is no longer a guaranteed career path.

At the same time, Indian manufacturing is digitizing at speed. Factories, logistics networks, energy systems, and infrastructure are becoming connected. These environments don't need more coders. They need engineers who understand how physical systems and digital systems work together.

That capability is almost nonexistent today.

Understands software. Not machines.

IT engineers know data, APIs, and cloud. But put them in a factory and ask about sensor protocols, control systems, or OT security — they're lost.

The IT–OT Gap

Very few engineers today are comfortable on both sides. This gap is costing Indian industry its digital future — and costing engineers their career relevance.

Understands machines. Not data.

OT engineers know PLCs, sensors, and operations. But ask them to design a data pipeline or integrate cloud analytics — and the conversation stops.

WHAT WE DO

We close the IT–OT gap.
Systematically.

We build real industrial architectures.

Edge gateways. Sensor networks. Unified Data Namespaces. Decision layers. What we teach, we have already built and deployed. This is not a curriculum — it is a working system.

India's next industrial leap needs a new kind of engineer.

We build IT–OT Integrators — through real interdisciplinary labs, not isolated courses or vendor certifications. Engineers who can explain a machine issue to a software team and translate data insights to an operations manager.

Our proof point is deployable.

The CEDTRO Industrial Edge Platform is what Cedtro Labs is built on. It runs on sub-₹10,000 hardware. It generates industrial firmware without writing code. It connects industrial edge nodes, legacy PLCs, and AI — in one unified namespace.

Training is an outcome. Not the core.

We don't sell certifications. We build engineering capability — validated through system design reviews, architecture demonstrations, and real lab outcomes. Certificates are evidence, not the goal.

THE PLATFORM

The CEDTRO Industrial Edge Platform

The only IIoT platform that combines ISA-95/UNS architecture, visual device engineering, and AI-native design — on sub-₹10,000 hardware.

Visual Firmware Studio

Build industrial sensor nodes visually. No firmware coding. Generate verified embedded code in 3 clicks. ISA-95 namespace baked in from the device, not the cloud.

Offline Edge-First

Full platform functionality without internet. Deploy at a factory with no cloud dependency. Switch from cloud to local: change 3 lines in .env, restart. Zero code changes.

"Ask the Plant" AI

A conversational AI assistant that understands your plant — live telemetry, alarms, rules. Ask: 'Which devices went offline in the last hour?' Get a plain English answer. No SQL. No dashboards.

WHO WE SERVE

Three customers. One mission.

Institutions building real Industry 4.0 capability

Not another lab with disconnected experiments. A working Smart Factory model inside the campus — where students from Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, and IT work on one integrated system.

What they get
  • Complete CEDTRO Lab Kit (hardware + platform + curriculum)
  • 2-day intensive faculty and student workshop
  • Demonstrable interdisciplinary engineering outcomes
  • Academic differentiation that industry actually notices

Integrators who need a repeatable, deployable platform

Stop building custom code for every SME client. Install CEDTRO in 2 hours. Demo it in 30 minutes. It looks industrial. It behaves industrially. And your clients understand what they're getting.

What they get
  • A platform they can resell to SME factory clients
  • Pre-built sensor templates and industrial flows
  • Node-RED + PLC/SCADA bridge for legacy OT connectivity
  • Partner model with Cedtro Labs support

Factories ready to digitize without enterprise budgets

You don't need a ₹40-lakh Ignition deployment to see your plant data. CEDTRO connects your existing sensors, PLCs, and new industrial edge nodes into one dashboard — with alarms, rules, and AI — at a fraction of the cost.

What they get
  • Turnkey deployment: sensors, gateway, dashboard, alerts
  • Live telemetry + InfluxDB historian
  • Rule engine for automated alarms
  • ₹5,000–₹15,000/month per site
WHY CEDTRO LABS

We are not EdTech.
We are capability engineering.

Systems over tools

We teach how a complete industrial system works — not how to use a specific tool. Tools change. Systems remain.

Architecture first

Every program is anchored to a real system architecture. If we can't deploy it, we don't teach it.

Industrial proof point

The CEDTRO platform isn't a training prop — it's a deployable product used by real industrial clients. That's what makes our training credible.

Interdisciplinary by design

Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, and IT students working on the same system. That's how real factories operate. That's how we train.

No hype

No "become an expert in 30 days". No "guaranteed jobs". No buzzword overload. Honest, architectural, systems-level capability building.

Training is the outcome, not the core

We engineer systems first. Training programs are derived from real systems we build and operate. That's the difference.

Tushar Das

IoT & Industry 4.0 Architect · Founder, Cedtro Technologies

With nearly three decades that began at Cisco and spanned senior leadership at Accenture, L&T Infotech, Cognizant, and Wipro across the US, Asia Pacific, and Southern Africa, Tushar has led technology delivery at a scale few Industry 4.0 practitioners can match — 200-person organisations, multimillion-dollar global programmes, and practices built from scratch in markets with no established playbook.

Years of enterprise IT gave him a front-row seat to how advanced economies were connecting machines to digital intelligence — and how wide that gap remained in India's manufacturing sector. He founded Platinum Robotics in South Africa to prove the model, then brought the mission home.

Today, as founder of Cedtro Technologies, he architects IIoT solutions for manufacturers serious about digital operations while training the engineers who will run them. Over 3,500 engineers and 300+ faculty across NITs, IIITs, Samsung, Tata, and IFB have trained under his programmes — while he simultaneously builds CEDTRO, an Industrial Edge Intelligence Platform that makes smart manufacturing accessible without the enterprise price tag.

"My mission: build India's next generation of IT–OT integrators — the engineers who will make Make in India a technological reality, not just a policy."
