Latest Patents

Todkar’s patent, “Synchronizing Information Model Changes Between Hierarchical Systems of Smart Factories,” describes a system and method for keeping information models aligned across hierarchical smart-factory systems.

The invention uses a model generator to create objects for aggregated information models across factory subsystems, based on an OPC UA standardized model. A synchronization engine tracks the last successful synchronization with a global timestamp and records node-level timestamps when model nodes are modified. Modified nodes are placed in a priority queue in a serialized node-set format with synchronization-relevant annotations. The system then uses this data to update and synchronize the aggregated models held by OPC UA servers at different levels.

Career Highlights

Todkar’s patent work reflects an interest in industrial information systems and the coordination of data across smart-factory infrastructure. His disclosed approach combines timestamp tracking, annotated model nodes, and prioritized synchronization to manage changes between hierarchical systems.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Roland Eckl and Phani Ram Kumar Kuruganty as Todkar’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or describe particular collaborative contributions.

Conclusion

Anandrao Todkar’s patented work focuses on synchronizing changes to information models across smart-factory systems, supporting consistent data management within hierarchical industrial environments.
