AVEVA Unveils Industrial Intelligence Platform CONNECT to Drive Digital Transformation in India!

AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software focused on driving digital transformation and sustainability, introduced its latest innovation, the CONNECT industrial intelligence platform, at AVEVA Day India 2024 held in Mumbai. This launch underscores the pivotal role of industrial intelligence in supporting India’s ambitious goal of achieving a trillion dollars in merchandise exports by 2030.

As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India’s industries are increasingly leveraging data, analytics, and artificial intelligence to foster innovation and capitalize on global opportunities. AVEVA’s CONNECT platform is designed to break down data silos, enabling enterprises to gain trusted and actionable insights that streamline workflows, facilitate real-time monitoring and control, improve remote collaboration, and maximize the lifecycle performance of industrial assets.

The CONNECT platform empowers industrial leaders with AI-infused insights through an intelligent digital twin that unifies data across their industrial ecosystem. This open and neutral platform spans the entire industrial lifecycle in real-time, offering services ranging from data management and visualization to modeling, analytics, and application development. By facilitating seamless data sharing among internal and external stakeholders, CONNECT fosters collaboration throughout the lifecycle, unlocking greater value and sustainability gains. Built on AVEVA’s trusted software, CONNECT integrates applications from diverse providers, including Schneider Electric, RIB, ETAP, and other partners.

Recent enhancements to the CONNECT platform have introduced new levels of collaboration and efficiency. AVEVA Unified Engineering brings together teams across locations, disciplines, and organizations, enabling them to transition from siloed applications with document-based workflows to an agile, intelligent, and collaborative digital environment. Additionally, AVEVA Operations Control now includes key CONNECT capabilities for every subscription, providing users with purpose-built AI tools to optimize production throughput, quality, and sustainability metrics. These tools allow businesses to investigate issues, solve problems, and gain actionable insights to enhance production processes. Enhanced AVEVA PI System capabilities enable both internal and external stakeholders to leverage real-time operations data for a wider array of use cases, supporting data users in achieving greater productivity, uptime, and cost savings.

Ajit Kulkarni, Vice President and India Market Leader at AVEVA, stated, “India stands at the cusp of a major industrial revolution, with our sights set on becoming a global manufacturing and export powerhouse. CONNECT provides industrial companies in India with a unique and complete data ecosystem, where teams are empowered to engineer smarter, operate better, and drive profitability. By driving radical collaboration across multi-discipline and multi-organization teams, CONNECT can help pave the way to global success.”

AVEVA’s industrial intelligence solutions are already being utilized by tens of thousands of active users each month, including several leading Indian enterprises across manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure sectors. AVEVA Day India 2024 brought together more than 400 attendees from various industries, including prominent organizations such as Adani Power, L&T Hydrocarbon, and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The event provided a platform for participants to connect with industry peers, explore the latest innovations in industrial technology, and examine strategies to achieve greater sustainability and business growth through data-driven solutions.

Throughout the event, breakout sessions featured customer-sharing segments where companies from the energy, power, and manufacturing sectors showcased how they utilized advanced industrial intelligence technologies to achieve both operational efficiency and sustainability. These real-world examples highlighted that digital transformation extends beyond improving operations to creating more sustainable and resilient businesses capable of meeting global demand.
