Leading worldwide engineering services provider L&T Technology Services Limited has opened a new Center of Excellence (CoE) in Mysore, Karnataka, India, that makes use of Amazon Web Services and the cloud (AWS). By utilising the CoE, LTTS will be able to accelerate time-to-market for end users and transform its portfolio of cutting-edge technologies centred on the future of mobility. LTTS will offer a chance to use AWS to help the automotive area by utilising AWS infrastructure.
With its extensive technical domain knowledge in Electric, Autonomous, and Connected Vehicles (EACV), LTTS has been assisting OEMs in developing next-generation cars and planes with specialised solutions centred on security and safety. The new CoE will make use of the multidisciplinary skill sets that LTTS possesses in the areas of embedded, mechanical, and digital engineering.
To provide digital engineering solutions to end users on the cloud, LTTS has been actively collaborating with leading international technology companies like AWS. Some of the LTTS technologies that will be made available in the Amazon Marketplace are AnnotAI, Connected Vehicles, and SafeX, with the goal of maximising cloud-based R&D innovation to provide market-leading technological solutions.
Manufacturers are building cutting-edge next-generation vehicles with the aid of LTTS' market-leading mobility solutions to meet and even surpass the criteria for transportation safety, security, and emission laws. Leading international automotive OEMs and Tier-1 customers have already used LTTS' AnnotAI, Connected Vehicles, and SafeX solutions to benefit from the products' significantly accelerated time to market. As part of the CoE, LTTS' digital services will be combined with AWS software-defined vehicle and AWS IoT FleetWise to gather and send vehicle data to the cloud in almost real-time.
AnnotAI: A substantial amount of data, more engineering, and data labelling services are needed in order to create and test a self-driving artificial intelligence (AI). AnnotAI, LTTS' intelligent data annotation platform, smart labels media assets like text, images, videos, and LiDAR, assisting international automakers in their pursuit of Level 5 autonomy (full driving automation or where the dynamic driving task is eliminated).
Connected Car: Modern driver assistance systems, cloud services, and connection modules are provided by LTTS' Connected Car technologies to automotive clients in order to enable the design of the V2X platform while implementing secured gateways and preventing malicious assaults.
SafeX: When it comes to creating cutting-edge software, the automotive industry has particular difficulties. Automotive manufacturers can speed up their releases while maintaining security and reducing the chance of failed or recalled software releases thanks to SafeX DevOps and CI/CD automation.
Innovative technologies from LTTS have produced benefits for clients throughout the world that have been shown.
A Spokesperson from BMW Group said, “The AnnotAI platform from LTTS, by enabling state-of-the-art image, video, and LiDAR data annotation capabilities on AWS, is driving a robust and integrated validation framework for BMW Group and helping the global leader in luxury vehicles engineer innovative and sustainable vehicles for the future.”
Amit Chadha, CEO and Managing Director, L&T Technology Services said, “Electric, Autonomous and Connected Vehicle (EACV) is the first of our six big bets that are helping global automotive players accelerate their technological development journey towards an autonomous and sustainable future built on the highest considerations of security and safety. By working with AWS, LTTS can help global automotive organizations realize the full potential of its high-performance and scalable technologies built on an agile AWS cloud infrastructure.”
Puneet Chandok, President of Commercial Business, AWS India & South Asia (Amazon Web Services India Pvt. Ltd.) said, “The digital transformation in the automotive industry is accelerating, in many cases thanks to innovative solutions coming from our AWS partners. LTTS’ digital engineering offerings will help our joint customers realize the benefits of moving to the cloud, such as reduced time to market, increased business value and accelerated pace of digital innovation. With the launch of the new Centre of Excellence in India, LTTS will enable customers and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) with a broader range of services and solutions to support their digital transformation journeys.”
Akshat Vaid, Partner at Everest Group said, “For some years now, innovation in mobility has been software and technology centric with themes such as hybrid and electric, autonomous driving, connected experiences, and shared mobility, continuing to be top ER&D spend segments. Cloud and edge computing are naturally at the front and centre in this new era of automotive engineering. Alliances between cloud leaders and engineering service providers will go a long way in helping OEMs in driving best engineering outcomes and in the process creating new possibilities for their end-consumers.”
