TCS, Rolls Royce to jointly harness data for improved engines

British engine maker is among the top five clients of TCS in UK

Tata Consultancy Services says it will jointly work with Rolls Royce to push the British engine maker's "Digital First" vision of using data to improve maintenance of its engines that power planes and ships, focus on compliance and safety and also design newer engines in the future.
 

TCS will use its in-house "connected universe platform" to harness data from the sensors on Rolls Royce engines, analyse and help identify problems and look for solutions that help to cut costs and improve efficiency. The solution is offered as a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that helps in deploying internet of things (IoT) applications faster.
