L&T Technology Services (LTTS) has announced a strategic partnership with Cognite to develop and deliver industrial AI and data solutions for asset-intensive industries. The collaboration will combine LTTS’ engineering, manufacturing operations and asset lifecycle management expertise with Cognite’s industrial AI and data capabilities.
As part of the partnership, LTTS has established a dedicated Cognite Centre of Excellence and certified an initial group of more than 50 engineers. The companies are also co-developing industry-specific solutions for sectors including oil and gas, chemicals, LNG, CPG/FMCG, mining and industrial manufacturing.
The partnership will focus on accelerating the deployment of AI-powered industrial applications, digital twins, predictive maintenance solutions and operational intelligence platforms across asset-intensive enterprises.
For their first joint project, LTTS and Cognite have begun working with a global top-10 oil and gas company to transform its manual mechanical-integrity process into a contextualised and scalable digital workflow. The solution is intended to help engineers work more efficiently, identify risks faster and reduce the potential for downtime and safety events.
Girish Rishi, CEO of Cognite, said the company’s growing scale across industries complements LTTS’ domain and engineering expertise. He added that the partnership is aimed at creating value for joint customers as AI becomes increasingly integrated into modern manufacturing.
Amit Chadha, CEO and Managing Director of L&T Technology Services and Member of Nasscom Executive Council, said the partnership will combine LTTS’ engineering expertise with AI-based industrial capabilities to address complex industrial challenges and help enterprises move from AI pilots to production.
The collaboration will also integrate Cognite’s capabilities with LTTS’ EIOne platform to support solutions focused on productivity, asset performance, operational resilience and business value.
