TCS Inaugurates New IoT Engineering Lab in Ohio

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has opened a new IoT engineering lab in Cincinnati, Ohio, aimed at speeding up innovation for its clients. Covering an area of 3000 square feet, the lab is specifically set up for quick prototyping, testing, and widespread deployment of AI, GenAI, and IoT engineering solutions.

The lab will enhance the implementation of TCS’ wide range of IoT solutions, including TCS Clever Energy, TCS Digital Manufacturing Platform (DMP), and TCS Digifleet. These solutions will serve diverse sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, energy, consumer goods, and others.

This facility will empower TCS to support clients in developing innovative solutions. It will also foster collaboration and co-innovation among businesses, integrating physical assets, and partner technologies, and addressing customer challenges to generate new offerings and solutions.

Key initiatives at this IoT Engineering Lab include:

• Digital Twin of the Heart: TCS has developed the first digital representation of a professional runner's heart, showcasing AI-driven digital twin technology's potential to revolutionize athlete training and healthcare.
• Software-Defined Vehicles: TCS aids automakers and OEMs in advancing toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), using GenAI and object detection to monitor people, vehicles, and potential hazards along a vehicle's path.
• Smart Gardening Technology: Through TCS Grow+, the lab collaborates with the local community on smart gardening technology, contributing to the harvest of over 3,500 pounds of produce. This initiative has supported more than 500 families through charitable efforts.

Transforming Business with IoT and AI Innovation

“On the demand side, structural shifts such as energy transition, supply chain relocation, and AI are requiring significant new production capacity in the United States that is connected, intelligent, and autonomous by design. On the supply side, Intelligent Edge, powered by advances in connectivity, sensor, and AI technology, is reinventing customer experience, personalized products, and connected manufacturing. TCS’ investment in the Bringing Life to Things Lab in Ohio will help our clients bridge the traditional divide between operational and digital technology by rapidly turning their ideas into minimum viable products that reimagine their value chain at scale. With its strategic location in Cincinnati, home of TCS’ largest American delivery center, the lab is well positioned to tap into the area’s tech talent to help our customers across North America”, said Amit Bajaj, President-North America, TCS.

“With the inauguration of the Bringing Life to Things Lab, TCS reaffirms its commitment to driving innovation and digital excellence in an era defined by Artificial Intelligence and GenAI. This lab will spark co-innovation, enabling clients to brainstorm and collaborate through design thinking workshops, and unlock the full potential of IoT, AI, and GenAI technologies”, said Regu Ayyaswamy, Global Head of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Engineering, Tata Consultancy Services.

In Cincinnati, the site of TCS’ largest American delivery center, this new lab leverages local tech talent to support clients across North America, aiming to unify operational and digital technologies for enhanced client outcomes.
