by design, ensuring consistency as deployments expand across plants. This was evident in an MDT programme delivered for a global automotive leader, where a robust IIoT architecture enabled standardised data models, scalable analytics and measurable operational improvements across multiple facilities.
Q. COULD YOU SHARE A FEW SUCCESS STORIES FROM SMART FACTORY IMPLEMENTATIONS?

» We’ ve delivered several impactful smart factory implementations across industries. For a global FMCG client, we deployed an AR- and ML-based solution that significantly improved frontline worker productivity and execution efficiency. At our Hagerstown Advanced Rail Digital Factory, we have driven IT – OT – AI innovation using GenAI-powered quality inspection, computer vision, the Spot robot and industrial metaverse capabilities, creating a highly advanced digital manufacturing environment. We have also helped clients advance their sustainability goals through Rita ONE, our ESG and sustainability reporting solution. In another engagement with a multinational tyre manufacturer, we leveraged advanced AI / ML models to implement advanced process control, enabling the prediction of critical quality metrics and improved process stability. Additionally, we have delivered Digital Twin – based factory simulations using the NVIDIA Omniverse platform, enabling manufacturers to model, optimise and de-risk factory operations before deploying changes in the physical environment.
