By Michael Gonsalves: Evolve Technologies and Services, manufacturer of x-ray imaging machines, has launched what it claims to be India’s first digital dental detectors targetted at dentists in the country and overseas. The machine OraDect Pro DDX 1500 also comes with a health metre, the first of its kind, to track radiation effect on the dentist using the machine on patients. The Pune-based company which also manufactured digital x-ray machines for industrial applications and food sector is targetting sales revenues of Rs 100 crore from FY19. “OraDect Pro DDX 1500 is India’s first indigenously designed, developed and manufactured oral digital dental detector for use of dentists, dental clinics and dental surgery and endodontic treatment facilities,” Tilakraj Tandon, managing director at Evolve Technologies and Services told Financial Chronicle. He said the company’s team of 30 scientists and engineers worked over a year to design and develop the new OraDect Pro DDX 1500 machine with an investment of Rs 15 crore. “It has sensor chip, optics, electronics and software chip to produce accurate dental images for treatment,” Tandon said. The machine which carries a price tag of Rs 1.35 lakh would be launched pan-India in phases and also exported to Southeast Asia, Africa and West Asia, he said. Tandon said the OraDect Pro DDX 1500 is integrated with an in-house developed software for near instantaneous image capture and display. “Image enhancement functions like zoom, brightness, contrast and gamma supplement the dentist’s decision-making skills, helping them arrive at the correct diagnosis, quickly and confidently,” he said. Amitoj Sethio, executive director at Evolve Technologies and Services said the new machine also comes with a patient management system at no additional cost to the dentist so that they can take their practice digital in all aspects. “The patient management system allows the dentist to manage their appointment calendar as well as track patient information and their dental needs,” he said. Sethio said the company had already sold over 10 units in Pune city alone when it carried out a soft launch for trial and testing some time back. “At present, we have the capacity to produce 5,000 units annually,” he said. Tandon said Evolve was first company in India to receive a licence for commercial production of the digital X-Ray industrial inspection system from atomic energy regulatory board in 2012. He said the company competes with American General Electric and Korean Y-xlon companies which import and sell industrial ex-ray machines in the country. michaelgonsalves@mydigitalfc.com.
