Background

The growth of AI and robotics in manufacturing is poised to redefine the industry, with an anticipated 25-30% CAGR over the next five years. This growth is fuelled by transformative trends like the emergence of collaborative robots, or ‘cobots’, which work harmoniously alongside humans, advancements in machine learning and computer vision, and the integration of AI with IoT and big data, driving Industry 4.0.​

Tata Elxsi’s partnership with a renowned Japanese manufacturing giant marked a transformative leap in production processes. In response to rising market competition, Tata Elxsi delivered a GenAI-driven solution that seamlessly integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), and advanced robotics.  Tata Elxsi enabled real-time production line reconfigurations, boosting operational efficiency by 30% and driving substantial business value.

Challenge

The client’s traditional production reconfiguration was a complex, time-consuming task, creating significant operational inefficiencies and limiting scalability. Frequent product changes demanded an adaptable solution, but the existing approach led to increased costs and downtime. AI and robotics  in manufacturing was the clear choice for automating these processes in order to scale operations to meet global demand.​

Solution

Tata Elxsi delivered a breakthrough GenAI solution combining AI and robotics in manufacturing to bring automation. The solution enabled real-time adjustments based on dynamic product specifications. No longer was manual intervention required—robotic arms could now be controlled with precision through simple commands, allowing seamless transitions between different product lines.​

This innovation empowered the client to achieve a 3x faster production reconfiguration and significant cost reductions. The solution, showcased at the International Robotics Expo 2023 (IREX), highlighted Tata Elxsi’s capacity to drive transformative change in AI and robotics in manufacturing at scale.
