Airtel partners with Tech Mahindra to deploy 5G private network at Mahindra’s Chakan unit | Jobs Vox

As part of the strategic partnership, Airtel deployed a ‘5G for Enterprise’ solution that significantly improved Chakan’s network connectivity, resulting in improved software flashing speeds, a critical operation for all vehicle dispatches.

Incredibly high speeds and ultra-low latency now allow managers to undertake multiple software flashing sessions in parallel, resulting in reduced operation time, the companies said in a joint statement on Thursday.

Furthermore, computerized vision-based inspection is now fully automated resulting in improved paint quality.

Speaking on the partnership, Ajay Chitkara, Director and CEO, Airtel Business, said, “We are delighted to partner with Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Auto to demonstrate this transformation and make the Chakan manufacturing facility India’s first 5G-enabled car manufacturing facility . As Industry Paradigm 4.0 gains momentum, reliable data networks will prove to be a key differentiator in factory and manufacturing performance. This is just the beginning and I am sure we will showcase many more innovative use cases that will help redefine manufacturing in India.”

Manish Vyas, President, Communications, Media and Entertainment Business, and CEO, Network Services, Tech Mahindra said, “Our collaboration with Airtel is aimed at enhancing the customer experience through digitally enabled platforms and new age solutions. We are confident that this partnership will help unlock opportunities across industries to improve productivity, drive the intelligent digitization of the network-driven enterprise and drive innovation.”
