Tata Elxsi To Work With IIT Guwahati On EV Technologies

Tata Elxsi on Monday 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.

The collaboration between Tata Elxsi and IIT Guwahati will look to enable both collaborators to apply their research capabilities to real-world problems, such as advancing state-of-the-art predictive maintenance.

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.

The MoU was signed between Prof Parameswar K. Iyer, Officiating Director, IIT Guwahati and Manoj Raghavan, Chief Executive Officer, and Managing Director of Tata Elxsi, in the presence of Prof Praveen Kumar, Dept. of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, IIT Guwahati, and Anil Radhakrishnan, Director Products, and Atul Kulkarni, Chief Technical Officer, Tata Elxsi.

This collaboration is expected to bring together researchers and experts for advanced research in Material Science, Digital Twins, and Deep Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques.

In a statement, Manoj Raghavan, CEO and MD at Tata Elxsi said, “This collaboration will bring together the best minds from Tata Elxsi and IIT Guwahati to envisage and develop future-looking solutions for the fast-evolving space of electric mobility. 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.”
