Driving Industry 4.0: Tata Communications Powers Jaguar Land Rover’s Cloud-First Network Transformation
With a Cloud-first, software-defined network capability, Tata Communications is connecting 128 global locations of the British automaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR).
Tata will put into place a modern architecture that enables JLR to enhance the quality of vehicle construction by real-time data diagnosis from production lines. The adoption of AI will be facilitated by this network capability, which also offers forecast risk management to reduce manufacturing disruptions.
Tata Motors subsidiary JLR is eager to complete its modern transformation and pave the way for analytics and Industry4.0.
This partnership will aid in the creation of JLR’s vehicles and lay the groundwork for the organization to undergo its second phase of modern transformation.
Tata Communications will introduce its Cloud-first, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) technology, which will link all 128 JLR locations worldwide. Supply chain efficiency and security are anticipated to increase as a result of this world connectivity, which connects JLR’s world headquarters with its facilities, warehouses, sales centers, data centres, and cloud services.
Accelerating Automotive Excellence: JLR and Tata Communications Forge Ahead with AI-Driven Network Transformation
JLR will be able to integrate AI-powered real-time data collection, monitoring, and analysis as a result of the transformation to improve production line performance. Forecast risk management controls will help the car manufacturer identify possible irregularities, improve driving efficiency, and ensure the construction of the vehicle.
Additionally, this collaboration will shorten the time needed to improve manufacturing procedures, improve administrative resiliency, and boost production agility. Through scale and security, JLR anticipates cost savings and business advantages. By 2025, Tata hopes to have finished the deployment of its network transformation program, which it has already started.
Tony Battle, the group chief information officer for JLR, said “This is an exciting stage in the modern transformation of our business, leveraging the technologies and capabilities of Tata Communications that will advance our networks into the future.” By switching to SD-WAN, we can use AI-powered automation to identify vulnerabilities, actively intervene, stop problems, and improve network performance on a worldwide scale. The state-of-the-art connectivity platform will help us create the top-notch ecosystem needed to provide contemporary luxury vehicles and exceptional driving experiences.
Tata Communications and JLR Forge Stronger Bonds in the Era of Automotive Transformation
