L&T Technology Services Limited, a leading global pure-play engineering services company, has announced its partnership with Critical Manufacturing, the provider of innovative, future-ready Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). The strategic alliance sees the companies working with the multi-national engineering group, Danfoss, to implement a comprehensive digital framework that harnesses cutting-edge technologies and next-gen capabilities.
LTTS works with plant operators worldwide to optimise efficiency, improve productivity, and simplify operations while ensuring compliance with global sustainability standards. LTTS offers consulting, engineering, and implementation services across sectors including semiconductors, electronics, medical devices, and discrete manufacturing. Here, Critical Manufacturing MES offers rich functionality and is recognised as one of the most innovative, flexible, and comprehensive platforms to support businesses on their journey to Industry 4.0.
Abhishek Sinha, Chief Operating Officer and Board Member at L&T Technology Services, said, "The advanced Critical Manufacturing MES complements our industry-leading technology services. Our combined expertise and understanding of the markets we serve, supported by the most modern MES platform for Industry 4.0 success, will enable us to drive better business outcomes for our manufacturing and industrial clients."
The selection of the Critical Manufacturing MES is part of a Smart Manufacturing Journey for Danfoss, with aims to achieve greater visibility, create transparency, enhance quality, secure IT/OT operations, and faster time to market. The platform will help standardise operations and processes to improve business process outcomes, compliance, and risk management. The initial MES deployment will be within the Danfoss Climate Solutions segment and will focus on leading the way to a greener future with integrated, energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions that enhance sustainability across areas including buildings, cold chains, industry, and infrastructure.
Tarun Chopra, Sr. Director, Head of Manufacturing Service, Danfoss Group IT commented, "While the Critical Manufacturing MES is being implemented in our Climate Solutions segment, we are also in the process of defining a global MES roadmap. The ease of deployment of the platform and its performance is an important element as we continue our pathway to digitalisation and standardisation throughout the global Danfoss group."
"The use of DevOps within our platform means that new functionality and upgrades can be quickly and easily deployed and new sites added, ensuring the system is always future-ready," comments Augusto Vilarinho, Head of Global Sales at Critical Manufacturing. "This supports Danfoss, LTTS and Critical Manufacturing's aligned visions to take manufacturing to a future state that will deliver new benchmarks in the levels of efficiency, quality, agility, and sustainability."
