April 2024 : Tech Mahindra has announced a strategic partnership with AVEVA, a leading industrial software provider, driving digital transformation and sustainability for innovative business solutions, to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE). Located at Tech Mahindra's campus in Pune, India, the CoE will create digital transformation solutions for industry-specific use cases.

This CoE will combine Tech Mahindra's expertise in process manufacturing, Industry 4.0 capabilities, and AVEVA's deep industry knowledge and software applications. It will offer various solutions, including digital production, digital supply chains, connected operations, asset performance, plant digitisation, and engineering information management. The solutions will also cover the entire industrial lifecycle, from conceptual engineering to operations and supply chain, helping industries such as Oil and Gas, Energy, Power and Utilities, Infrastructure, Mining, Metal Minerals, and Manufacturing to accelerate the digital adoption process and enhance performance.

Emon Zaman, AVEVA Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific said, “The inauguration of our leading-edge joint Center of Excellence here in Pune is a testament to AVEVA’s commitment to our long-term partnership with Tech Mahindra, and to our ongoing innovation and growth globally. Within this immersive demonstration environment, our customers can explore our mutual capabilities and learn more about the value of connected ecosystems. Bringing together information and AI-enhanced analysis across the entire value chain enables businesses to unlock true industrial intelligence and drive sustainable growth. We see this as the key driver of industrial innovation in today’s disrupted markets and we are committed to supporting our customers in driving more efficient, lower carbon and more responsible businesses.”

The CoE was inaugurated in the presence of dignitaries, including Emon Zaman, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, AVEVA, and Narasimham RV, President, Engineering Services, Tech Mahindra. During the inauguration event, the organizations showcased some industry-leading case studies and demonstrated how their combined capabilities will accelerate digital transformation for enterprises globally.

Narasimham RV, President, Engineering Services, Tech Mahindra, said, “It is estimated that the worldwide digital transformation spending will reach nearly USD $3.9 trillion in 2027. However, industries like Oil and Gas, Mining, and Manufacturing continue to face legacy infrastructure challenges resulting in the slow adoption of new digital solutions that can help improve their efficiency and quality. In this direction, our CoE will develop next-gen solutions to accelerate digital adoption within these sectors, offering relevant analytics and business outcomes. We believe this partnership will enable enterprises to accelerate their digital strategies with innovative, digitally powered platforms and solutions.”

This partnership is a shared commitment to drive innovation and growth through industrial intelligence. In addition, the CoE will leverage technologies such as the industrial internet of things (IIoT), digital twin technology, cloud infrastructure, and connected worker platforms to enable efficient plant engineering through data management, asset performance management, and smart factory processes for enterprises.

A Joint Venture “SAFHAL Helicopter Engines Pvt. Ltd.” was formed with Safran Helicopter Engines, France for indigenous design and development of Engines for IMRH and DBMRH.

During FY 2023-24, HAL and Airbus signed a contract for establishing MRO facilities for A-320 family of aircraft in New Delhi. This collaboration will strengthen Make-in-India mission and also enhance export potential.

Continental at CES 2024: Continental will showcase its latest technologies at a private structure exhibit in Central Plaza across from the Las Vegas Convention Center from Tuesday, January 9 through Friday, January 12. The technology company has numerous solutions that highlight mobility innovations, from the road to the cloud.

2027 and beyond – Deployment at Scale: Thousands of trucks integrated with the Aurora Driver are ready to autonomously haul freight across the U.S. “Entering an exclusive partnership with Aurora was a very good decision as it is an ideal match,” von Hirschheydt added. “Being the industry’s only tier-one supplier with a commitment to industrialize autonomous hardware kits at scale allows us to be at the forefront of and capitalize on this groundbreaking technology.”

ReNew (Ratlam, Madya Pradesh, India): To maximize productivity, streamline costs and redeploy the existing workforce to help in-source operations and maintenance (O&M) capabilities, renewable energy company ReNew built on and scaled the digital and analytics backbone from its first Lighthouse site, including new proprietary AI models and the rapid scaling of Fourth Industrial Revolution use cases across 70 wind farms, 10 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and 22 unique wind turbine models. Ratlam, the company’s benchmark site for this scale transformation, has sustained improvements of 1.7 percent higher energy yield, 17 percent reductions in operating expenses and 40 percent less waste. This led to a 20 percent increase in profitability.

End-to-End (E2E) Value Chain Lighthouse
Unilever (Sonepat, India): To improve agility and cater to diverse product segments, reduce costs in an inflationary environment and improve sustainability, Unilever Sonepat implemented 30+ Fourth Industrial Revolution use cases in its E2E supply chain. Top use cases included boiler and spray dryer process twins, as well as customer data-informed no-touch production planning and inventory optimization. This improved service by 18 percent, forecast accuracy by 53 percent, conversion cost by 40 percent and Scope 1 carbon footprint by 88 percent. The use of biofuels enabled by a boiler process twin also supports livelihoods for local farmers.
