Platform enables engineering-grade digital twins and Industrial AI across manufacturing, energy and infrastructure sectors
Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE), a Tata Group company and India’s largest private sector pure-play engineering and consulting organisation, today announced the launch of its Cognitive Digital Twin and Industrial AI platform. Built on NVIDIA Accelerated Computing and NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, the platform is designed to embed Industrial AI and engineering-grade Cognitive Digital Twins across manufacturing, energy and infrastructure sectors, enabling data-driven decision-making throughout the full lifecycle of industrial assets.
At the core of the platform is TCE’s Cognitive Twin framework, built on NVIDIA libraries and open models, enabling high-fidelity, real-time, AI-driven digital twins that mirror, simulate and optimise physical systems. These digital twins act as living representations of complex industrial environments, integrating engineering data with operational intelligence to enhance precision, reliability and performance.
The platform strengthens TCE’s position as an engineering-led execution partner for Industrial AI by combining NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, NVIDIA NIM microservices (part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise), along with open NVIDIA Cosmos and NVIDIA Nemotron models, with deep expertise in engineering design, project delivery and full asset lifecycle management. Pilot implementations are underway with National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (the implementing agency for India’s high-speed rail programme), Torrent Power, and Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, demonstrating a transition from static digital models to cognitive digital twins that actively support operational decision-making and sustainable engineering outcomes.
By embedding Cognitive Digital Twins at the concept and FEED stages, operational requirements such as safety, reliability, maintainability and energy efficiency are addressed early in the design process. This facilitates informed capital investment decisions and enhances long-term asset performance once operational.
The platform enables industries to move beyond isolated AI experiments and embed AI directly into factories, power systems and critical infrastructure. Its focus is on tangible outcomes, including safety, quality, reliability, precision, sustainability and energy efficiency, with Cognitive Digital Twins supporting both engineering decisions and operational performance.
As an engineering design and consulting organisation, TCE integrates Cognitive Digital Twins and Industrial AI into assets from inception, rather than applying AI post-deployment. This lifecycle-first approach ensures Industrial AI becomes intrinsic to how assets are conceived, delivered and operated.
The platform addresses high-impact Industrial AI use cases, including safety monitoring, quality inspection, reliability and predictive maintenance, energy optimisation and digital twin-driven operations. It aligns with global priorities around manufacturing competitiveness, infrastructure modernisation, the energy transition and operational resilience, as well as NVIDIA’s vision for AI factories, physical AI and real-world industrial digital twins.
Commenting on the launch, Mr Amit Sharma, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, TCE, said,
“Industrial AI must be engineered into assets, not added later. As an engineering organisation, we have the unique ability to embed Cognitive Digital Twins at the design stage and carry them through construction, commissioning and operations. Built on NVIDIA technology, this platform brings Industrial AI into the heart of factories, power systems and infrastructure, delivering outcomes that matter in the real world.”
Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director, Asia South, NVIDIA, said,
“The industrial landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation as AI moves decisively from the digital realm into the physical world. Leveraging NVIDIA accelerated AI infrastructure, NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, and open NVIDIA Cosmos and NVIDIA Nemotron models, TCE is a leader in advancing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of critical industrial infrastructure.”
The launch marks an important step in the evolution of Industrial AI adoption. By embedding Cognitive Digital Twins and AI across the full lifecycle of industrial assets, Tata Consulting Engineers aims to lay the foundation for safer, more reliable, more efficient and more sustainable industrial systems.
