SMART PRINTING LABS: AI-ENABLED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Vivek Saraswat, Mahi Singh, Amritpal Sidhu, Mohd Faisal, Satish Upadhyay, S. Murugan, Ila Shridhar Savant Shodhkosh Journal of Visual and Performing Arts, 2025 With the development of the printing technology toward automation and smartness, there is the emergence of Smart Printing Labs, areas that involve artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing to form self-optimizing, data-driven production environments. The evidence in this paper is a framework of AI-Enhanced Smart Printing Lab that can improve operational efficiency and predictive maintenance and managerial decision-making via built-in sensing, analytics, and control. The suggested system uses machine learning algorithms (convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and reinforcement learning (RL)) to plan the workflow, identify defects, and control the process in a real-time manner. Data collection and cloud data synchronization with IoT guarantee the constant control of print parameters, allowing to predict faults and maximize energy consumption. Experimental evidence shows throughput increase by 24 percent, reduction of downtimes by 36 percent and 18 percent decrease in energy and 50 percent cut in defect rates respectively as compared to conventional configurations. The study brings in a modular scalable architecture in line with the principles of Industry 4.0 and sustainable manufacturing. The future work aims to develop this system further with the help of federated AI models and cross-facility learning networks, which facilitate joint intelligence in the distributed industrial setting.
Modeling a Novel Self-Optimized Wolf Optimizer for a Heterogeneous Network Model for Energy and Node Lifetime Analysis Narla Mahendra, S. Murugan Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2025 The vital services of surveillance, information collection, and data transmission from high-risk environments to safer locations are still provided by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). These services are improved by the majority of energy-efficient routing protocols structured for this purpose. A homogeneous routing protocol is applied to decrease the energy utilization of far-off hubs more efficiently; however, the energy utilization rate is higher for this protocol, poorer dependability, and more unfavorable information broadcast to the Wireless Router (WR) or base station (BS) when employed for a longer timeframe. To overcome these drawbacks, a modified Self-Optimized Wolf Optimizer (SOWO) is employed in this research. Incorporating heterogeneous nodes into the current approach, selecting the head based on remaining energy introduces a multi-level interaction strategy throughout the connections. Employing an energy hole elimination method is the foundation of the developed routing technique. Each approach aims to extend the network's lifetime and reduce energy consumption. Based on the findings, the proposed routing scheme demonstrates superior consistency periods, residual energy, throughputs, and network lifespan compared to existing ones. The research addresses the classical clustered-WSN problem of maximizing lifetime and sustained delivery under tight per-node energy budgets while keeping load/fairness balanced. The simulation results show a 3.4% and 32.22% improvement in network stability and residual energy, respectively, over existing algorithms.
Artificial intelligence in social sectors: Designing an innovative Climate-Resilient Road Maintenance System (CEEMS) Parul Bansal, S. Murugan, Amit Kumar, Jatin Khurana, Anantha Subramanya Iyer, Neha Multidisciplinary Science Journal, 2025 The safety and effectiveness of transport networks, critical to social and economic development, depend on Road Maintenance Systems (RMS). The resilience of road infrastructure is increasingly at risk as climate change enhances extreme weather events, especially in developing countries. To overcome this difficulty, this research suggests the Climate-Resilient Road Maintenance System (CRRMS). This cutting-edge method combines climate adaptation techniques with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve road maintenance. By capturing temporal relationships in road conditions, CRRMS integrates Adaptive Black-winged kite optimized-Self-Attentive Graph Neural Network (ABW-SAGNN) with sensor inputs and road weather data to estimate maintenance requirements. Preprocessing methods like z-score normalization and Fourier Transform are used on the raw sensor and meteorological data to guarantee high-quality input for the model; significant features are extracted to better understand how climate variables affect road conditions, such as road surface temperature, humidity levels, and precipitation rates. A specially designed simulation program that simulates real-world situations and tests different climate change projections is used to assess the system. It examines the effects of climatic factors and harsh weather on road infrastructure. In key performance measures like resilience to extreme weather events, resource allocation efficiency, and maintenance prediction accuracy, CRRMS performs better than standard models in Mean Absolute Error (MAE) (0.03), Mean Standard Error (MSE) (0.02), and (0.98). The findings show that CRRMS could accurately predict repair requirements, reduce costs, and lessen congestion by taking proactive measures. The strategy emphasizes that AI could be used to solve important issues with road infrastructure, create more climate-resilient transport systems, advance long-term sustainability, and enhance community safety in the face of climate evaluation.
Energy Efficient Power-Aware DSR-based Routing for Homogeneous and Heterogeneous WSNs Mahendra Narla, S. Murugan Engineering Technology and Applied Science Research, 2025 The research on managing resources and bandwidth evaluation within ad-hoc networks has highlighted energy-efficient routing protocols as a critical mechanism for conserving energy and prolonging the network's operational lifespan. This study introduces the Energy-Efficient Power Aware DSR (EEPW-DSR) routing protocol, which enhances Cluster Head (CH) selection by incorporating a distance-aware approach and addresses energy consumption challenges. The proposed method optimizes CH selection based on proximity to the Base Station (BS) and the node energy levels, significantly reducing communication distance and balancing energy consumption. Conventional methods, such as Standard DSR and Multi-hop Routing (MR), were considered for comparative performance analysis with the EEPW-DSR. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms conventional methods in network lifetime, network stability, and period of active node operation. These improvements highlight the robustness of the proposed approach in ensuring network longevity in both homogeneous and heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).
Modelling An Efficient Routing Model For Heterogeneous Ad-Hoc Network Using Improved Vector Protocol Mahendra Narla, S. Murugan 6th IEEE International Conference on Recent Advances in Information Technology Rait 2025, 2025 Wireless Ad-hoc networks present a promising solution for the escalating demand for wireless sensor network applications across various domains. The inherent limitations in end-sensor nodes pose challenges, primarily concerning the quality of service provision. This article introduces an efficient resource allocation method, termed the Improved Ad hoc Ondemand Associative Distance Vector Protocol (IAHADV) aimed at addressing the multifaceted heterogeneity within ad-hoc networks. This heterogeneity exists on two levels: The variety of applications and the ever-changing radio environment. The suggested method addresses scheduling and radio channel distribution problems. It adopts a centralized approach for allocation decision-making while distributing spectrum sensing tasks, thereby enhancing efficiency and minimizing interference. Despite the constrained capabilities of ad-hoc networks, this method significantly improves the capacity to leverage a broader spectrum range. IAHADV is well-suited for critical communications, gaining prominence in the evolution of wireless networks like the forthcoming 5G era. Simulation outcomes and comparisons conducted between the proposed protocol and others underscore the robust performance of this scheme. The results highlight its considerable effectiveness, exhibiting only a minor trade-off in terms of complexity.

Utilizing Deep Learning for Automated Detection of Endangered Species in Camera Trap Data Dr. Suhas Ballal, Ritika Mehra, Sachin Mittal, Aarsi Kumari, Dr.S. Murugan, Dr. Satya Narayan Satapathy Natural and Engineering Sciences, 2025 Effective and efficient monitoring of endangered species is a vital part of biodiversity conservation; however, the process of analysing camera trap data is not without its difficulties, being very labour intensive, and vulnerable to the potential for human error. Traditional image analysis frameworks have drawbacks with regards to classification accuracy when assessing animals in low light, occluded, or other complex environments. This study outlines the design and development of an automated assessment process using deep learning techniques, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNN), using transfer learning from large-scale wildlife datasets. The framework processes raw camera trap images and assigns correct identities to species, identifying and scoring endangered species with confidence levels through proper temporal data augmentation, based on the environmental conditions the photos were taken in. The performance of the automated method is then assessed against a traditional classifier based on feature-engineering, as well as human expert annotations. The comparative metrics used include precision, recall,F1-score, and processing length for original images, assessed in a variety of ecologically-meaningful zones and lighting contexts. Results show a detection accuracy of 94.6%, with a more than 15% improvement on baseline measures, and substantial savings in manual review time also derived from the automated processing. The method outlined presents an opportunity for enhanced efficiencies in biodiversity studies involving large numbers of images and will facilitate timely action in regards to conservation where needed. This system represents a doorway between computational development and ecological fieldwork, supporting evidence-led animal management and policy decisions within the context of exploring nature-inspired design in the environmental engineering context.
Artificial Intelligence Driven Skin Cancer Detection Using R-FCN Enhanced Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with SMOTE Balancing A Ronald Doni, Chin-Shiuh Shieh, Siva Shankar S, Prasun Chakrabarti, G Nagarajan, S Murugan International Journal of Engineering Science and Information Technology, 2025 Skin cancer is a serious worldwide health issue, and earlier diagnosis is crucial for patient outcomes and efficient treatment. However, due to the variety of skin cancer types and the complexity of medical imaging, making an accurate diagnosis can be challenging. This study tackles this issue by introducing a new deep learning (DL) algorithm that is specifically designed for skin tumor diagnosis and employs the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology. This study offers a novel approach that makes use of Region-based Fully Convolutional Networks (R-FCN) to address the crucial problem of skin cancer lesion categorization. The suggested system seeks to increase classification efficiency by using region-based detection which improves classification accuracy and localization. The HAM10000 and ISIC-2020 datasets, which are difficult and unbalanced, were used to thoroughly evaluate the created Deep CNN (DCNN) architecture. The Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) was purposefully used as the method of random sampling in order to lessen the imbalanced datasets. This greatly enhanced the suggested models generalization and robustness. The results demonstrate the remarkable efficacy of the research contribution, yielding performance metrics consistently above 98% for F1-score, specificity, sensitivity, recall, accuracy, precision, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC). In terms of balancing speed and accuracy the suggested approach also performs better than traditional methods like R-CNN and YOLOv8. The study demonstrates that a strong framework for automatic skin cancer detection and classification is provided by combining R-FCN with SMOTE and CNN techniques. This framework facilitates early diagnosis and aids dermatologists in clinical decision-making.
Spotted Hyena with Fire Hawk Optimization Algorithm Driven Cluster Based Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks Nirmal K, Murugan S International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology, 2024 A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) collects data about the environment and transmits it to a central location via distributed Sensor Nodes (SNs). Advancements in sensor equipment, size, interfaces, and cost have led to many WSN applications. Energy effectualness is the most researchable topic of the energy-constrained WSN. Many models are used to handle energy consumption (ECON), and the most promising methods are clustering and routing. The WSN requires a routing protocol to transmit data to the sink via a cost-effective link. A primary issue is detecting the element's constrained energy so that the higher power is utilized consistently over time. Energy-efficient routing can extend lifespan by using less energy. This study develops a spotted hyena with fire hawk optimization algorithm-driven cluster-based routing (SHFHOA-CBR) technique in WSN. The SHFHOA-CBR technique follows two significant processes: energy-efficient clustering and routing. To accomplish this, the SHFHOA-CBR technique includes a spotted hyena optimizer-based clustering approach (SHO-CA) to choose an optimal set of CHs and generate clusters. The SHO-CA technique derives a fitness function (FF) comprised of distance to neighbouring nodes (DTN), residual energy (RE), and trust level (TL). For route selection, the SHFHOA-CBR technique encompasses the fire hawk optimizer-based routing (FHO-R) technique to choose optimal routes to BS. Finally, the FHO-R technique includes three input variables: node degree (ND), RE, and DTN. The investigational evaluation of the SHFHOA-CBR model is conducted using diverse measures, namely ECON, Latency, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Throughput (THRO), Network Life-Time (NLT), End-to-End Delay (EED). The experimental outputs infer that the SHFHOA-CBR technique achieves promising performance over current techniques.
