The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has initiated a purchase order of Advanced Spray Coater developed by Delgado Coating and Technology Solutions, incubated at Maker Village here.
The purchase order was handed over by Ajay Kumar, Secretary, Defence Production, to Delgado CEO R. Sree Kumar on Saturday.
This technology is used in solar cells as transparent electrode, touch-screen devices (mobiles), flat panel displays, OLEDs, energy saving smart windows, nanocoating and biomedical coatings over needles and surgical stents. This Advanced Spray Coater can slash the production cost by 30% compared to the present technology used by other countries.
Mr. Sree Kumar said the product was manufactured after incubating at Maker Village. The idea of the product was developed while doing his post-doctoral research and it was manufactured within the first year of reaching Maker Village, he said.
