Manufacturing processes of breakthrough batteries need a robust digital foundation, says Sullivan
Infosys (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE: INFY) has formed a strategic collaboration with Japan’s Envision AESC to develop a cloud-based platform to digitize and automate manual processes at the latter’s Electric Vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing plants.
Initially, the cloud-based platform seeks to digitize key processes that require a high level of human intervention. In the long-term, the cloud-based platform aims to improve productivity, enhance end-to-end visibility, and simplify quality monitoring through data-driven reporting and analytics tools.
Further, the modular and extensible cloud-based platform will not only offer rich user experience but also bring about scalable, resilient and predictable performance of business applications across geographies.
This new cloud-based platform, co-developed by Infosys and Envision AESC, leverages AWS Cloud components of Infosys Cobalt, a set of services, solutions and platforms for enterprises to accelerate their cloud journey.
“At Envision AESC, we believe that advancements in battery technology will propel the EV revolution to newer heights,” said Brian Sullivan, Executive Vice President of Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain at Envision AESC.
