“The next phase of industrial transformation will be shaped by the ability to convert industrial intelligence into timely action. By combining Infinite Uptime’s domain-specific intelligence with Tech Mahindra’s manufacturing transformation and integration capabilities, we will help enterprises embed this intelligence across complex plant environments and achieve tangible improvements in reliability, productivity, and operational resilience.” - Manikantan NS, SVP & Global Head - Manufacturing Vertical, Tech Mahindra

October 2026 : Industrial AI is moving from simple detection to decisive action. Infinite Uptime and Tech Mahindra have recently announced a global partnership designed to help heavy industries turn raw operational data into verified production outcomes.

By combining Infinite Uptime’s PlantOS™ - a physics-aware Outcome Intelligence Engine - with Tech Mahindra’s deep IT-OT transformation expertise, the collaboration addresses a long-standing manufacturing bottleneck. While sensor adoption has exploded, bridging the gap between identifying an issue and executing the right fix remains a major hurdle for frontline teams.

PlantOS™ bridges this gap by delivering clear, contextual recommendations on what actions operators need to take and when. Tech Mahindra will deploy its "SIIM" approach - Simulate, Integrate, Implement, and Maintain - to integrate these AI insights into legacy plant systems and daily workflows.

Targeting asset-intensive sectors such as steel, cement, chemicals, and mining, the joint initiative will launch globally, with an initial focus on large-scale transformations across North America and Europe.

Manikantan NS, SVP & Global Head - Manufacturing Vertical, Tech Mahindra, said: “The next phase of industrial transformation will be shaped by the ability to convert industrial intelligence into timely action. By combining Infinite Uptime’s domain-specific intelligence with Tech Mahindra’s manufacturing transformation and integration capabilities, we will help enterprises embed this intelligence across complex plant environments and achieve tangible improvements in reliability, productivity, and operational resilience.”

Karthikeyan Natarajan, CEO, Infinite Uptime, said, “Physical AI creates lasting value when it gives frontline teams the context and confidence to take the right action and verify the result. By combining PlantOS™ with Tech Mahindra’s industrial transformation capabilities and global reach, we can bring this closed-loop approach to more manufacturers and help them improve plant performance consistently.”

With Infinite Uptime already tracking over 167,000 hours of validated downtime savings across 1,000+ plants worldwide, the partnership sets a new standard for bringing Physical AI straight to the factory floor.
