We build IT–OT Integrators — engineers who move confidently between machines, software, and data. Not another EdTech platform. Capability engineering.
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.
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.
Very few engineers today are comfortable on both sides. This gap is costing Indian industry its digital future — and costing engineers their career relevance.
OT engineers know PLCs, sensors, and operations. But ask them to design a data pipeline or integrate cloud analytics — and the conversation stops.
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.
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.
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.
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 only IIoT platform that combines ISA-95/UNS architecture, visual device engineering, and AI-native design — on sub-₹10,000 hardware.
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.
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.
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.
| Capability | CEDTRO | Traditional SCADA | Ignition | AWS IoT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISA-95/UNS from firmware level | ✅ | ❌ | ⚠️ Enterprise only | ❌ |
| Visual device & firmware builder | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Offline / edge-first operation | ✅ | ⚠️ Partial | ⚠️ Partial | ❌ Cloud dependent |
| Multi-role industrial UI | ✅ | ⚠️ Limited | ✅ | ❌ |
| AI / LLM with live plant context | ✅ Roadmap | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ Custom build |
| SME-affordable deployment | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Typical deployment cost | < ₹15,000/site/mo | ₹5–15 lakh setup | ₹1,20,000+/site/mo | Usage-based + build cost |
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.
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.
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.
We teach how a complete industrial system works — not how to use a specific tool. Tools change. Systems remain.
Every program is anchored to a real system architecture. If we can't deploy it, we don't teach it.
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.
Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, and IT students working on the same system. That's how real factories operate. That's how we train.
No "become an expert in 30 days". No "guaranteed jobs". No buzzword overload. Honest, architectural, systems-level capability building.
We engineer systems first. Training programs are derived from real systems we build and operate. That's the difference.
Tushar Das has spent years at the intersection of industrial systems, IoT architecture, and engineering capability building. Platinum Robotics builds industrial robotics and automation solutions. Cedtro Labs is the capability and knowledge engineering arm — where the systems get taught.
Cedtro Labs is built from lived experience: the frustration of finding engineers who understand both machines and data. The conviction that India's next industrial leap needs a different kind of workforce. And the belief that the best training comes from systems that are actually deployed.
Cedtro Labs opens its first structured programs in September 2026. Not courses. Not certifications. Capability programs built on real industrial systems — for professionals who need to operate in both the IT and OT world.
A 3-part live webinar series covering what Industry 4.0 actually means on the factory floor — not the brochure version. Designed for engineers, managers, and leaders who want to understand the real IT–OT integration challenge.
A focused, selective cohort for working engineers who want to develop real IT–OT integration capability. Learning happens inside the CEDTRO platform — a live industrial system, not a simulation.
Limited seats. No commitment required at this stage — we will reach out with details once the program structure is confirmed.
Whether you're an institution, a system integrator, or a manufacturer — let's start with a conversation.
