Commercial Design / Prototyping / Engineering BioX is Taufeeq's commercial solution for the biometric fingerprint access control and attendance system, both functionalities fused together in one package. The solution comes with Digital Persona FP readers, high end software and user friendly, failsafe methodologies and touch buttons for switching between attendance and access control. The solution if being used by many organizations in the corporate sector.
Taufeeq at his own privately owned company Destiny Microsystems designed the PROGMOSYS - Progressive Gas Monitoring System, an NGV measurement and switching system that gives you accurate information on how much gas remains in your CNG tank. This is the first product of its kind in the market that enables you to estimate your car's overall mileage and performance.
Taufeeq Elahi designed, prototyped, manufactured and marketed the 2nd Generation, ultra high precision CNG metering system. This designs comes with 16x2 monochrome LCD. Least count is 1 bar and is produced as an OEM for custom installation in cars - followed by the 3rd Generation ultra high precision CNG metering system. This design comes with real time clock and temperature sensor. PROGMOSYS Maxima comes with a 20x4 monochrome LCD and has a least count of 1 bar. It is 50 times more accurate than conventional CNG metering systems, and probably the most accurate and vibrant CNG metering system in the world.
He designed a product for the agriculture industry - named after the god of agriculture, 'Saturn' is a system for remote monitoring of harvesters. The solution is fitted on all harvesters that are to be leased out. Saturn sends the live status of the thresher to the control center. It’s designed to report thresher sensor tampering, battery disconnection or device intrusion to the control center. Backup batteries and onboard chargers keep the device running even if the connections are tampered. Saturn and its control center communicate on GSM 1800 band.
Lead designer for the SCADA at Crescent Jute Products Limited. The site had a harsh industrial environment with 78% humidity, 39 degree Celsius temperature with moderate levels of vibration and shocks. The company needed to monitor its 52 spinning frames with a total of 5,200 delivery points. HMI, PLC and industrial micro controllers were used to collect the required information.
He is also the designer of the 2nd Generation Tracespin hardware, again for the jute industry. This hardware is in commission in various fiber mills across Pakistan.
He has been the founder president of Engineering Students' Initiative; an engineering organization busy in promoting professional engineering skills through print and media, organizing workshops, seminars and funding numerous engineering projects. Engineering Students' Initiative was founded in the June of 2005 and is constantly working hand in hand with its increasing members to achieve its goals.
In 2004, Taufeeq Elahi worked on an infrared based control system for PC, turning it into Pakistan's First ever computer hardware that was designed, coded, prototyped and manufactured in Pakistan. In January 2005, it was finally released. The product is patented to his name under international laws.
To provide a standard time to the University of Engineering & Technology, Taxila, he and his team created the X-time : Atomic Synchronized Clock, a full sized 5.5 feet stainless steel exterior with redundant runtime mechanism and servers.
He has been the designer of Advent Rising, a prepaid power system in which the conventional power meter was converted into solid state non tampering machine, prepaid card system developed along with the whole establishment of a service center that has all the facilities of an enterprise scratch card handling system. Power bill can be paid in advance through any cellular phone or fixed line in the country.
Taufeeq's Voltage Analyzer ( TVA ) is a voltage measuring mechanism by which you can acquire periodic readings on your PC. The system provides excellent observational opportunity for transformer voltage changes, battery charging and discarding rates etc. This system supports 4 channels, means one can hook its 4 inputs to 4 different points where voltage monitoring is required with respect to time. The hardware uses versions of software called TVA also coded by me, supported on windows platform 98-XP. The hardware and software communicate through standard serial port.
A recent prototype includes a system consists of a console having two monochrome LCDs, soft keys and keypads placed on each table in a café. The menu is displayed on the first LCD, and the customer can select the items and their quantities though soft keys/keypad. Selected items and their quantities are displayed on the second LCD, where items can also be deleted as per customer’s choice. In the café kitchen, a server runs an Access database that has username/password/credit information for all customers. The customer confirms the order, and selects either of the two payment modes: Prepaid or Cash. Incase of prepaid, the user gives his username and password. The order is placed digitally to the kitchen and displayed on a large LCD screen, and remaining balance is reported to the customer along with estimated time of serving. Warnings are sent to the users console incase of wrong username or other errors like insufficient balance in account.
Another prototype device for the fruit industry includes an intelligent fruit sorter which is a system for sorting fruit with respect to its diameter. Primarily used for apple, the sorting system consists of a conveyer belt and an electronic distributor. The system is able to sort fruit into four different categories. The fruit is dropped on the conveyer belt by a feeder, the conveyer automatically starts to move and when the fruit reaches the mid of the belt it is scanned for its diameter. The results are sent by the controller to the workstation running high-end software that monitors different parameters of the sorting process and issues a command to the servomechanism operating the distributor for placing the fruit in its target bucket. The software is flexible and presents run time charts and analysis of the whole process.

A prototype was designed for the power distribution company that used GSM band for sending bill information to the consumer. 'GEMMS' is a system that can be attached to conventional rotating disc meters as well as electronic solid-state meters. The system sends power bill (in rupees) as SMS to the user’s mobile number once in 24 hours. The destination mobile number, time of sending the message and current time can be adjusted through 12 button keypad and 3 soft keys attached with the LCD. A slab-wise tariff plan is followed by the system and calculates the bill accordingly. First 100 units are charged at Rs.3/unit. Next 200 units are charged at Rs.4/unit. Next 300 units are charged at Rs.5/unit and all other units after that are charged at Rs.7/unit.

Controls water pump through 3 different modes. (1) Automatic Mode (2) Timer Mode and (3) Manual Mode. Second Generation Advanced water management control has precision level detection and can presnt water level with 1% accuracy. Display provided is a monochrome LCD.
A small telephone add-on was prototyped some time back. It consists of a console fitted near the landline telephone set. The console has several buttons, each having a person’s name against it. To dial a call, one has to simply push the appropriate button in front of his/her name, and the device automatically sends DTMF over the telephone line and dials the number. It is a device built for disabled/elderly who have trouble in reading/memorizing/dialing numbers manually.
