Jaguar Land Rover has announced that it will be partnering with global communications technology firm Tata Communications to future-proof its digital transformation and pave its way towards new standards such as the adoption of Industry 4.0 and advanced analytics.

The partnership will power the production of Jaguar Land Rover's next generation vehicles. Tata Communications will also deploy its cloud-first, software-defined wide area network technology to connect all Jaguar Land Rover's 128 sites worldwide. This move promises significant boosts to the firm’s supply chain efficiency and security.

It will also enable Jaguar Land Rover 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.

Jaguar Land Rover additionally states that this new partnership will significantly shorten the time required to upgrade its manufacturing processes, strengthen operational resilience, and increase agility to meet production demands. Tata Communications has already commenced implementation of the network transformation programme and will complete its deployment by 2025.
