Tata Elxsi has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G), to jointly work on developing and commercialising state-of-the-art solutions for the electric mobility market.
One key area of work under this collaboration will be the digital analysis of electrical signature data for traction motors which underpins EV mobility across segments, including automotive and rail. The solution will provide deep insights for proactive fault prediction, maintenance schedule formulation, and design and manufacturing defects traceability.
A press release from the company noted that the collaboration will bring together researchers and experts for advanced research in material science, digital twins, and deep artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
The collaboration between the two parties will enable both collaborators to apply their research capabilities to real-world problems, such as advancing state-of-the-art predictive maintenance.
Manoj Raghavan, CEO and MD, Tata Elxsi, stated, “The fault analysis solution is an excellent example of how industry-academia collaboration can bring together original thinking and application of the latest digital technologies to solve very specific industry needs from operators, OEMs and system suppliers in the transportation industry.”
Prof Parameswar K Iyer, Officiating Director, IIT Guwahati, noted that electric vehicles are increasingly considered the solution to carbon emissions from the transportation sector. There is an essential need to create more future-ready solutions in the EV automotive and transportation industry.
“The shared knowledge between IIT Guwahati researchers and Tata Elxsi team will help in building a research ecosystem in this field, and its commitment to further strengthen the partnership going forward will help in achieving the Government of India’s mission of making our country Atma Nirbhar,' he added.
