Micelio Discovery Studio (MDS) serves as an engineering, testing, and validation facility, which functions as a business growth accelerator for the development of clean mobility products and services.
The scarcity of affordable testing equipment for innovative ideas is a major obstacle for many clean mobility entrepreneurs as they progress from concept to working prototype. To address this challenge, MDS strives to bridge the affordability gap by providing tiered time slots on state-of-the-art prototype testing equipment and advanced software. This approach empowers even bootstrapped Indian startups to test their engineering and design concepts without incurring heavy capital investment.
A joint engineering project on Digital Twin between Micelio Mobility and ARAI will be made accessible to users throughout India, with a focus on startups and medium-sized businesses, apart from larger OEMs. This center is being established along with the Ministry of Heavy Industry (MHI), Government of India.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning will be part of it, and companies will be able to execute their algorithms on servers with colossal computational power. The Hardware In Loop (HIL) Farm, which includes setup for motors, batteries, and vehicles among other solutions, will be used to validate the control systems of electric vehicles. The Common Engineering Facility (CEFC) shall be operated by means of a Hub and Spokes model across Bangalore (Micelio Mobility), Pune (ARAI), and Guwahati (IIT Guwahati).
Micelio Mechanical Testing Lab is a testing facility that provides mechanical testing services to validate the design, quality, and reliability of products for specific applications. The lab is equipped with specialized equipment such as motor test rigs, cam drum test rigs, and an environmental chamber.
An Electrical Testing Lab is a facility that provides testing services for electrical devices and systems. The lab is equipped with specialized equipment such as a battery cycler, cell cycler, charger test bench, MSO (Mixed Signal Oscilloscope), real-time spectrum analyzer, current probes, and voltage probes etc.
