FASTER, MORE FLEXIBLE, BETTER QUALITY: JLR TO DIGITALLY TRANSFORM ORGANISATION THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH TATA COMMUNICATIONS

• JLR partners with Tata Communications connecting 128 JLR global sites with cloud-first, software defined network capability
• Tata Communications will deploy a digital architecture enabling JLR to enhance vehicle build quality through real-time data diagnosis from production lines
• Advanced network capability to power AI adoption for JLR, providing robust and predictive risk management to reduce disruption to manufacturing
• Collaboration with leaders in their fields is a cornerstone of JLR’s Reimagine strategy

Gaydon, UK, 12 December 2023: JLR is partnering with Tata Communications, the global commtech (communications technology) player, to future-proof its digital transformation and pave the way for new standards such as Industry 4.0 and advanced analytics.  

The partnership will power the production of JLR’s next-generation vehicles, a key part of its Reimagine strategy, and provide the connectivity foundation for the next phase of digital transformation for the organisation. 

Tata Communications will deploy its cloud-first, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) technology, connecting all JLR’s 128 sites worldwide. This advanced global connected capability — between JLR’s global HQ and its plants, warehouses, sales centres, data centres and cloud services, will significantly boost supply chain efficiency and security.  

The transformation will enable JLR to bring in AI-powered and real-time data capturing, monitoring and analysis to improve production line performance. Through predictive risk management controls, the carmaker will be able to identify potential anomalies more effectively – driving greater efficiencies while also helping assure vehicle quality build. 

Further, this partnership will significantly shorten the time to upgrade manufacturing processes, strengthen operational resilience and increase agility to meet production demands. JLR estimates significant cost savings along with business benefits through scale and security. Tata Communications has already commenced implementation of the network transformation program and will complete the deployment by 2025.
