JAINHITS attains BIS certification for its set top boxes
NEW DELHI: JAINHITS, India’s only HITS Platform based service in India, today announced that it has successfully attained the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for its set top boxes. This certification is in line with the DeitY’s (Department of Electronics and Information Technology) recent mandate on compliance of all imported as well as locally manufactured products electronic goods across 15 categories to comply with BIS’ quality benchmarks.
The ruling has been brought into effect owing to the increasing demand for electronic goods in India and includes product ranges from set top box laptops to tablets, and TV sets to microwave ovens. With this outline, all such products will need to be BIS-compliant for sale, manufacture or importing in the country.
Adding to this, Devinder Singh, Head- Regulatory & Corporate Affairs, Noida Software Technology Park Ltd. said, “Any Certification by itself is a tedious and time taking process. Where the aspect of human safety is required it becomes all the more tedious. It not only involves monetary expenditure at various stages, but also requires time and extensive documentation, testing both in-house & various International Certification agencies like “CE”, “UL” etc. The equipments presently requiring BIS certification for import or manufacturing in India need to be tested by Govt. recognized laboratories for meeting all standards including safety and transmission. Besides BIS certified, our subscribers would get to choose from SD and HD quality, MPEG4 STBs.”
Motorola is the end to end technology partner providing end-to-end networks solution, including video core solutions, access network solutions and customer premises solutions (set-top-boxes).
MUMBAI: Addverb has taken a decisive turn on the road to humanoid automation, unveiling its first wheeled humanoid robot, Elixis-W, at LogiMAT India 2026 in Mumbai. Built and manufactured in India, the robot signals the company’s push to make so-called physical AI a practical presence on the factory floor rather than a futuristic concept.
Unlike traditional fixed automation, Elixis-W is designed to move, think and work alongside people in dynamic industrial settings. The robot combines adaptive wheeled mobility with dual arms, each fitted with five-fingered dexterous hands, allowing it to handle tasks that demand precision as well as flexibility.
At its core sits a Physical AI-ready architecture, supported by dual Nvidia Jetson Orin and Thor computing units. This setup is intended to give the robot the ability to perceive, plan and adapt to changing environments, rather than simply follow pre-programmed routines.
According to Addverb CEO and co-founder Sangeet Kumar, the humanoid reflects the company’s long-standing belief in human-robot collaboration. He said the robot is designed to take on repetitive, risky or physically demanding tasks, freeing human workers to focus on higher-value decision-making roles.
Alongside the humanoid, Addverb also showcased two new intralogistics solutions. The Cruiser 360, a four-way pallet shuttle, is aimed at high-density storage environments where space and speed matter. The FlowT, an autonomous forklift, is designed to move materials safely in busy warehouses and factory spaces.
Visitors also saw Trakr, the company’s quadruped robot, navigating the exhibition floor, offering a glimpse of how legged machines could assist in future warehouse and industrial operations.
Addverb, which began as a warehouse automation specialist, has steadily expanded its global footprint across the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia. Its client list includes Reliance, HUL, PepsiCo, Maersk, Mondial Relay and DHL.
With the launch of Elixis-W, the company is steering towards a future where robots are not just bolted to the floor, but rolling, reasoning and working shoulder to shoulder with people on the shopfloor.
