TCS Launches NVIDIA Business Unit To Make AI Omnipresent

In order to assist clients embrace artificial intelligence (AI) more quickly and extensively, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has extended its partnership with NVIDIA to introduce industry-specific products and solutions.

Under its AI.Cloud business segment, TCS’s new NVIDIA-focused business unit will provide these products and services. The new business unit from TCS expands on a partnership with NVIDIA that lasted for more than five years. It combines the complementary skills of both companies and provides customized solutions for a range of industries.

There is no agreement on an AI adoption plan, despite the fact that businesses all over the world are rushing to implement AI, according to the most recent TCS AI for Business Study. Every business’s path to adopting AI is different and requires combining AI with pre-existing organizational capabilities.

Building context-specific AI models and having a thorough understanding of the business and its procedures are essential for the widespread deployment of AI.

Through investments in the NVIDIA AI platform, which includes accelerated computing and AI software, as well as the NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse platforms, as well as global centers of excellence (CoEs), the new unit will develop and implement customized AI adoption plans.

The new unit also offers TCS’ proprietary framework, which brings together its deep domain expertise, enterprise contextual knowledge and NVIDIA AI technology for building and deploying agentic AI solutions  – including NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints, which are part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform and NVIDIA AI Foundry – to deliver value at scale to customers. TCS and NVIDIA have collaborated to build innovative, value chain-centric solutions and offerings for industry verticals on the NVIDIA AI platform.

In order to provide customers with value at scale, the new unit also offers TCS’ proprietary framework, which combines its enterprise contextual knowledge, deep domain expertise, and NVIDIA AI technology for developing and implementing agentic AI solutions, such as NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints, which are a part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform and NVIDIA AI Foundry. Together, TCS and NVIDIA have developed cutting-edge, value chain-focused products and services for various industry verticals on the NVIDIA AI platform.

They include:

1. TCS Manufacturing AI for Industrials: This offering leverages the power of AI and large language models (LLMs) to transform raw data into actionable insights for manufacturing enterprises. While general-purpose LLMs lack the capabilities to understand specific industry nuances, TCS’ Manufacturing AI for Industrials LLMs leverage the company’s contextual knowledge, technical prowess and the power of NVIDIA’s application frameworks to help accurately address industry challenges.
2. TCS AI Spectrum for BFSI: This offering delivers innovative and secure ways of infusing the power of LLMs and AI into BFSI lines at enterprise scale. Built on the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform, it enables faster decision-making, improved regulatory compliance and enhanced risk management for financial institutions.
3. TCS Cognitive Visual Receiving: This is a holistic composite AI offering built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise and Omniverse that revolutionizes retail warehousing with greater accuracy, efficiency and speed by automating quality check, product identification, measurement and attribute extraction.
4. TCS AI-Native Telco Offerings: These offerings built on NVIDIA AI and NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin enables telcos to rapidly create custom telco domain-specific models to meet business needs such as autonomous network anomaly management, billing & revenue assurance, 3D network visualization and customer experience.
5. TCS AI-based Autonomous Vehicle Platform:TCS’ IoT and Digital Engineering unit is working with NVIDIA to leverage generative AI and deep learning technologies, such as Omniverse for simulation and NVIDIA AI Enterprise for synthetic data generation, to accelerate the development of end-to-end autonomous features and capabilities for automotive OEMs and tier 1 suppliers.

The collaboration with NVIDIA is part of TCS’ broader efforts to strengthen its AI-readiness and build end-to-end capabilities powered by NVIDIA technology to foster enterprise-wide AI transformation for its key customers.

To help manufacturers embrace the next wave of digital manufacturing, TCS is also working on a new suite of digital twin solutions built on the NVIDIA Omniverse development platform, enabling clients to design, simulate, operate, and optimize products and production facilities across heavy industries:

1. Factory of the Future: Real-time factory planning, monitoring, and predictive maintenance in a virtual environment, reducing downtime and speeding up time to market.
2. In-Car Digital Twin: Autonomous vehicle simulation using Omniverse’s physics-based simulations, reducing the need for physical testing.
3. Aero Care Efficiency: Digital twins creation for aircraft components, enabling immersive training, enhanced problem-solving and the early detection of failures, helping improve safety and reduce operational risks.
4. Smart Farming Digital Twin: Farming scenario simulations with real-world physics, including soil interactions, terrain analysis, and weather conditions to improve equipment performance, process optimization and sustainability in modern agriculture.
