With industries undergoing rapid digital transformation, AI and autonomous systems represent the impending technological disruption that will reimagine and revolutionize industrial operations in the coming years. Industrial AI applications have enormous potential to bring down prevailing inefficiencies by making plants agile, processes flexible, machines intelligent and by supporting plant operators through autonomous decision systems.

TCS InTwinTM platform engages the power of AI to deliver intelligent digital twin solutions that can help industries transform their operations, optimize assets, and ensure compliance across facilities. The unique combination of purpose-built industrial digital twin workspace, industry-oriented algorithms, advanced orchestration frameworks, cognitive AI services and flexible cloud deployment capabilities enable users to go beyond generic data-driven insights. It also creates robust industrial AI solutions that effectively combine engineering fundamentals, data science and IoT technologies to simulate, predict, calibrate, and optimize assets and processes for safe, sustainable, agile and intelligent operations.

OverviewOrganizations are turning to digital twins and AI to tap into the immense value embedded in industrial data and liberate siloed operational knowledge. But such initiatives are currently encountering development and deployment issues arising from sector-specific challenges such as inconsistent data quality, intricate industrial data-processing pipelines, dearth of plant/process modelling knowledge, pervasive model degradation, complex model management, strenuous solution scaling, and so on.

TCS InTwin is an industrial AI platform that enables users to rapidly create, deploy, and manage advanced digital twins. The flexible, scalable, and domain agnostic platform provides core elements to build intelligent digital twins of the plants, systems and processes by leveraging proprietary algorithms curated for industrial AI, pre-built industrial templates, and digital twin orchestration, configuration, deployment and self-organizing services. The platform aids the user to deal with all the nuances and challenges of industrial analytics to realize self-aware industrial digital twin solutions that can connect-in-context, predict future state and potential problems and prescribe appropriate actions to plant operators; enabling them to make better production, maintenance, and safety decisions. The industrial AI solutions powered by TCS InTwin help organizations reduce operations and maintenance costs, improve product quality, derive more revenue through increased throughput, and make production lines agile and safe.
