JCB’s Livelink telematics system built on
Wipro’s cloud-based Industrial Internet platform
Wipro Ltd. (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading
global information technology, consulting and business process
services company, today announced that it has achieved a
significant milestone in its ongoing Internet of Things (IoT)
deployment for JCB India Ltd, a leading construction equipment
manufacturer. JCB’s Livelink telematics system has successfully
connected over 10,000 construction equipment and machines, such as
Backhoe Loaders, Excavators and Compact Wheel Loaders, deployed for
its customers across India.
The Livelink IoT solution has been designed and deployed on
Wipro’s cloud-based Industrial asset platform. Wipro’s After
Markets solution team, a part of the Manufacturing and Hi-tech SBU,
brought together a consortium of specialist partners to provide the
turnkey solution and is responsible for ongoing deployment and
support.
The Livelink system allows JCB to remotely monitor the real-time
health and performance of JCB assets in the field. The predictive
capability of the platform helps all stakeholders to collaborate in
ensuring operational availability of the asset whereby maximizing
the value derived from it. The geo-fencing feature prevents misuse
and theft of assets, while allowing asset owners to enforce
contract compliance. The stakeholders have already started to see
the benefit of the solution.
“IoT is an emerging technology domain and one where there are no
proven paths for success. Wipro has been a trusted partner through
the design and deployment of JCB’s Livelink IoT solution. Through a
combination of strong technology expertise and excellent program
management capabilities, Wipro has provided end-to-end integrated
support to enable this milestone for our customers,” said Vipin
Sondhi, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, JCB India
Limited.
“IoT presents a huge opportunity for industrial manufacturers
world-wide and this platform is one of the few live cases. We are
privileged to have partnered with JCB India to bring the Livelink
initiative to life. Today, we are delighted to have over 10,000 JCB
machines across India, running successfully on Wipro’s cloud-based
industrial internet platform. This platform provides an ideal base
for us to deliver differentiated value to JCB’s end customers,”
said N. S. Bala, Chief Executive, Manufacturing & Hi-Tech
Industry SBU, Wipro Limited.
