About Us

Vision

o be a leader at the National level for designing and developing scientific and industrial instruments, systems and devices; play a lead role in providing support for testing & calibration services; developing skilled manpower by way of training on state-of-the-art instrument technologies and be a custodian of instrumentation activity in the country.

CSIR-CSIO

Central Scientific Instruments Organization (CSIO) Chandigarh, is a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), a national laboratory dedicated to research, design and development of scientific and industrial instruments. It is a multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional apex industrial research & development organization in the country to stimulate growth of the Instrument Industry in India covering a wide range of applications. CSIR CSIO has working in various areas of instrumentation and skill development program by awarding diplomas through Indo-Swiss Training Centre (ISTC) at Chandigarh and established centres at Chennai and Delhi to meet the regional needs.

CSIR-CSIO, Chennai Centre

The CSIO Chennai Centre was established in 1965 to meet the repair and maintenance requirements of scientific and industrial instruments of the southern region. Its objective is to reduce the down time of sophisticated instruments in research institutes, universities, laboratories, industries and hospitals etc. CSIR - CSIO Chennai Center started the design and development work in respect of instruments where spares were either too costly or not available.

In the 90’s the centre identified energy instrumentation as a thrust area and started research & development work with the support from various Government and private organisations. Many projects related to instrumentation in the area of energy conservation and efficiency was successfully completed by demonstrating at different industries and technologies were transferred. The Centre provides consultancy services for Energy Management Systems and Energy Studies. At present, CSIO focused its activities on Advanced Metering infrastructure, Building Energy Management Systems for Smart Grid components development. To reduce the dependency on imported equipment in the health sector, the centre started developing the biosensor based instruments for health care in collaboration with academic institutions under National Hub for Healthcare Instrumentation Development.

CSIR- CSIO established latest facilities for conducting energy audits and studies to help the industries in the energy conservation and waste minimization. An instrument calibration laboratory for testing and certification was also established.

Under Human Resource Development (HRD) activity, the center conducts technology based entrepreneur development programs and training courses for instrument users on the operation, handling and preventive maintenance of instruments. CSIO Chennai Centre conducts Management Development Program on Energy Management System & Instrumentation for international participants under ITEC/SCAAP program of Ministry of External Affairs.

CSIR CSIO Chennai Centre is participating in CSIR SERC AcSIR’s M. Tech program in Renewable Energy. This novel program in renewable energy is aimed at equipping the next generation of young Indians in science/engineering with the right skills to tackle the toughest challenges facing in the area of Energy.

Research and Development Activities

CSIO Chennai Centre carried out various projects on design & development of instrumentation systems for Energy Management Systems in different industrial sectors. It has successfully executed several projects sponsored by National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), Department of Science Technology (DST), Department of Information Technology(DIETY), Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA), Ministry of Power, Indo German Energy Efficiency Program(IGEEP) and private industries. CSIO provides consultancy services for energy conservation studies and implementation of energy management systems and third party evaluation. CSIO Chennai Centre has diversified its activities in the area of health sector by taking up projects on design and development of Bio sensor based instrumentation systems for pathogen detection using fluorescence and imaging techniques. The activities of the centre carried out in the last 10 years are listed below
