Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, has developed an innovative digital solution to connect intelligent LEDs, to GE’s Predix operating system for the Industrial Internet through Intel Atom-based gateways, providing critical analytics to save significant time and costs in the manufacturing process.  The digital solution will analyze temperature at various points on the metal turbine parts as they are assembled and cooled, allowing operators to know when the next operation can be performed, reducing wait time between operations and improving quality monitoring. The pilot application was built and deployed for GE Power’s gas turbine manufacturing plant in Greenville, South Carolina.

TCS’s new digital solution provides automatic data collection of ambient room and rotor surface temperatures, measuring for unacceptable variations, notifying workers when the next operation may proceed and alerting workers to any non-uniformity. This application is built on the intelligent LED platform by GE and Intel that can reduce costs and energy consumption and provide data collection and analytics capabilities. This platform is composed of smart LED fixtures from Current, powered by GE, integrated with sensors that monitor temperature, humidity and any physical object presence, transmitting the data to an Intel Atom-based gateway where the information is streamed to the Predix cloud.

TCS is a global leader in IT services, digital and business solutions that partners with its clients to simplify, strengthen and transform their businesses. The company highly ranked in the ‘Leadership Zones’ of the Education, Publishing, Broadcasting, and Entertainment sectors.
