As India\u2019s maiden lights-out factory lab, this facility will simulate how self-optimising factories can automate operations using the TCS Human+AI Service Autonomy Model. It brings together technologies such as digital twins, robotics, industrial AI, factory control systems and real-time operational intelligence and seamlessly combines them for live manufacturing environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lights-out factory is a manufacturing unit where autonomous systems can run production with minimal human intervention. The Pune lab houses a fully robotic battery pack assembly line, making it India&#8217;s first lab to demonstrate the principles of lights-out manufacturing. Simulations on this live setup which has multiple stages of production will help manufacturers prototype, validate and scale AI-first production systems. The Pune lab addresses a key challenge faced by manufacturers: translating Industry 4.0, AI and robotics concepts into practical operating models. It gives customers a controlled setting to explore industrial scenarios, assess their suitability for production environments and reduce deployment risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TCS Industrial Autonomy &amp; Engineering Lab \u2013 Lights-Out Factory, is the latest addition to TCS&#8217; Industrial Autonomy &amp; Engineering innovation footprint. Earlier this year, TCS launched the TCS Industrial Autonomy &amp; Engineering Lab Powered by NVIDIA in Bengaluru to accelerate Physical AI innovation for industrial and mobility applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of TCS\u2019 Industrial Autonomy &amp; Engineering capabilities, the facility supports a range of industry use cases including predictive maintenance, automated quality inspection, real-time process optimisation, human-machine collaboration and autonomous factory operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting and business solutions, has launched the TCS Industrial Autonomy &amp; Engineering Lab \u2013 Lights-Out Factory, at its Sahyadri Park campus in Pune.
