Overview

The Infosys Industrial Manufacturing practice integrates Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) to capitalize on ‘digital twins’ for superior enterprise management. A digital twin allows the enterprise to validate business ideas while rationalizing capital expenditure as well as mitigating risks. IT-OT integration facilitates advanced technology to boost production (3D visualization, additive manufacturing and industrial robots), improve process efficiency (intelligent control and traceability), and ensure sustainability (predictive analytics and data science) at an industrial manufacturing enterprise.

Our cloud-hosted solutions transform legacy enterprises at the technology, process, application, and data level. Further, it provides the enterprise with capabilities to sense and respond to events, without disrupting shop floor or supply chain operations. Data tools embedded in industrial assets offer contextual intelligence to streamline operations and maximize resource utilization.

Our experts have rich knowledge of engineering systems, production equipment / assets, microprocessors / sensors, and communication protocols for interconnected industrial control systems. It addresses unique requirements of mission-critical systems and control processes of industrial manufacturing enterprises. In addition, it enables our team to develop seamless IT-OT networks for engineering, production, maintenance, and field operations. We use a pilot network to address governance and compliance issues prior to go-live.

Infosys develops APIs and Human Machine Interface (HMI) for integrating connected production assets, Industrial IoT (IIoT) tracking / monitoring devices, and process control systems in real time. An integrated data network and digital platforms facilitate automation, distributed control, embedded software, and self-monitoring systems.
