MG Motor India Join Hands with Siemens

On Tuesday, MG Motor India announced a collaboration with Siemens to use cutting-edge digital technologies to boost productivity, save energy and money, and reduce emissions in its operations. According to MG Motor India, the two companies will work together to develop innovative digital solutions to conserve energy and build a more sustainable future.

"Our partnership with Siemens is focused on industrial digitalisation and intelligent manufacturing. It will strengthen our commitment to lowering carbon footprints, increasing production efficiency, and providing significant energy and cost-saving solutions," MG Motor India, Director - Manufacturing, Ravi Mittal said.

As a closed-loop digital twin, MG will use Siemens' MindSphere and Plant Simulation software. According to the statement, these can connect plant assets and processes and provide insights into more streamlined paint processes, resulting in a 15% increase in the future pre-treatment and electro-coating paint process.

"What we have created with MG Motor is the digital twin of production. It allows MG to connect the plant through automation and monitor real-time operational performance," Siemens Ltd Head of Digital Industries Suprakash Chaudhuri said.

He claims that by applying advanced analytics to real-time data in a closed-loop simulation environment, he can generate valuable insights and that the seamless combination of the real and digital worlds lays the groundwork for continuous improvement.
