An Exclusive Interface with – Mr. Sagar Dubal Founding Director of “Autobits Labs Pvt. Ltd.”

AI-UPDATE: Take us through the journey of “Autobits Labs Pvt Ltd” In India & Company’s Current Operations. 

Autobits Labs started its journey as a modest startup back in 2017. At the time, we noticed that many companies were operating their machines at only 50–70% productivity, despite having a huge untapped potential for efficiency. What really stood out was that top management often remained in the dark about these hidden losses. We wanted to bridge that gap—provide clear, actionable insights to decision-makers—so we coined the name “Autobits,” a playful combination of “automatic” and “data-bits.”

To be honest, it took us a solid four years of intense R&D to develop a truly industrial-grade product. We learned firsthand how challenging it is to craft solutions that can endure the demanding environments on a shop floor. We faced numerous twists, turns, and the occasional sleepless night, but our belief in data-driven efficiency kept us going.

Today, I’m proud to say our perseverance paid off. We stand as one of the leading IIoT solution providers globally, helping businesses maximize machine productivity and deliver crucial insights straight to their top-tier management. Our current operations span across predictive analytics, real-time condition monitoring, and the broader Industry 4.0 ecosystem—always with a mission to equip leaders with the knowledge they need to drive meaningful, sustainable growth.

AI-UPDATE: Please brief us About “Autobits Labs Pvt Ltd” Indian & Global Network & Infrastructure.

We’ve always believed that proximity to our clients is crucial—especially in a country as vast and varied as India. That’s why we built a pan-India network of regional offices and partner alliances, ensuring we’re right there when our clients need us. From the buzzing automotive corridors of Pune to the thriving manufacturing clusters in Chennai and Gujarat, we’ve strived to be a trusted, on-ground presence.

Globally, our story extends into strategic partnerships across Asia and Europe. Each of these alliances brings fresh perspectives—like culturally unique problem-solving approaches or region-specific manufacturing quirks—which only enrich our solutions. We’ve also invested heavily in infrastructure: from advanced testing labs to specialized Support team. Think of it as our way of making sure every gateway we produce carries the same level of reliability and innovation, whether it’s destined for a plant in Gujarat or a factory in Germany.

AI-UPDATE: Please brief us on “Autobits Labs Pvt Ltd” latest top line Product Range for Industrial Automation Industry.

We’ve been hard at work developing our own IIoT Gateway, now in its third generation, which we proudly call the Smart Supervisor. It’s unlike anything else out there—designed to seamlessly acquire and process data on the edge through multiple industrial protocols, then securely relay that data to any cloud or server. One of its standout capabilities is running AI models right on the device itself, ensuring instant insights without depending solely on cloud-based analytics. Think of it as a supercharged control tower for your entire factory floor.

In tandem with the Smart Supervisor, we’ve built an intuitive IIoT platform named Factory Metrics. This platform is application-agnostic, meaning it can effortlessly monitor and track any type of machine or asset on the shop floor. One of the features we’re most excited about is the ability to create digital twins, allowing users to visualize their entire process in a virtual environment. From there, customizing dashboards, setting up alerts, generating in-depth reports, detecting anomalies, and even crafting predictive maintenance models becomes far more straightforward. It’s all about giving manufacturers the freedom to adapt, optimize, and stay steps ahead of potential breakdowns—all in one cohesive ecosystem.

AI-UPDATE: What have been your challenges on the client side?

Adoption remains one of our biggest hurdles. Many companies simply aren’t aware of how technologies like IIoT can dramatically boost productivity. We often find ourselves explaining and simplifying complex concepts, which can be a challenge in itself—but one we wholeheartedly embrace because the potential impact is huge.

We also encounter situations where the client has ambitious goals for tracking specific KPIs, but their existing infrastructure isn’t ready to handle the data or the analytics load. This mismatch between vision and on-ground readiness can stall deployments. That’s why much of our work involves bridging these gaps—whether it’s educating teams, suggesting incremental upgrades, or helping them optimize their current setup—so they can fully leverage the power of our solutions.

AI-UPDATE: What is Your Future Vision & Growth Plans for “Autobits Labs Pvt Ltd“In India?

We see a future where machines talk to each other—and to us—in a seamless conversation that revolutionizes productivity. To make that happen, we’re looking at:

1. Expanded R&D Investments: Because the moment you stop innovating, you start falling behind.
2. Deeper Industry Collaborations: Teaming up with OEMs and system integrators to embed our intelligence right at the design stage.
3. Skill Development Initiatives: India’s manufacturing sector is booming, but we need more trained professionals. We’re launching apprenticeship programs to build a pipeline of IoT and analytics talent.
4. Global Alliances: We want to take Indian ingenuity to the world stage. More partnerships abroad mean more cross-pollination of ideas.

In simpler terms, we aim to remain the go-to partner for any industry committed to a future fueled by data, efficiency, and a dash of imagination.

AI-UPDATE: Any special message for our readers.

Absolutely—embrace curiosity and never underestimate the power of a good question. In an Industry 4.0 world, the best solutions often start with a simple “Why?” or “What if?” If you’re on the fence about adopting advanced IoT or predictive analytics, start small. Pilot a project, learn from it, and let your successes guide the next steps.

Most importantly, remember that technology isn’t just about numbers or machines; it’s about empowering people—plant managers, machine operators, and everyone else in the industrial ecosystem—to do their best work. Stay open, stay inquisitive, and keep building that future we all dream of. After all, innovation is nothing if it doesn’t add a spark of hope and possibility to everyday life.
