TCS launches India’s first lights-out factory lab to advance AI-
first manufacturing
This futuristic facility, based in Pune, will demonstrate how a manufacturing assembly line can use AI, digital
twins, robotics and factory systems to operate and optimise functions
PUNE | MUMBAI, September 09, 2026: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a global
leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has launched the TCS Industrial Autonomy &
Engineering Lab – Lights-Out Factory, at its Sahyadri Park campus in Pune. As India’s maiden lights-out factory
lab, this facility will simulate how self-optimising factories can automate operations using the TCS Human+AI
Service Autonomy Model. It brings together technologies such as digital twins, robotics, industrial AI, factory
control systems and real-time operational intelligence and seamlessly combines them for live manufacturing
environments.
A lights-out factory is a manufacturing unit where autonomous systems can run production with minimal
human intervention. The Pune lab houses a fully robotic battery pack assembly line, making it India's first lab
to demonstrate the principles of lights-out manufacturing. Simulations on this live set-up which has multiple
stages of production will help manufacturers prototype, validate and scale AI-first production systems. The
Pune lab addresses a key challenge faced by manufacturers: translating Industry 4.0, AI, and robotics
concepts into practical operating models. It gives customers a controlled setting to explore industrial
scenarios, assess their suitability for production environments, and reduce deployment risk.
The TCS Industrial Autonomy & Engineering Lab – Lights-Out Factory, is the latest addition to TCS' Industrial
Autonomy & Engineering innovation footprint. Earlier this year, TCS launched the TCS Industrial Autonomy
& Engineering Lab Powered by NVIDIA in Bengaluru to accelerate Physical AI innovation for industrial and
mobility applications.
As part of TCS’ Industrial Autonomy & Engineering capabilities, the facility supports a range of industry use
cases including predictive maintenance, automated quality inspection, real-time process optimisation,
human-machine collaboration, and autonomous factory operations.
Joakim Landholm, SVP Commercial & Operations Development, SKF, said, “Reducing friction has always
been central to industrial progress, and the next wave of manufacturing will depend on smarter, more energy-
efficient, and more reliable operations. We see TCS Industrial Autonomy & Engineering Lab – Lights-Out
Factory as an important step in helping industry translate advanced automation and industrial AI into
measurable operational value.”
Sreenivasa Chakravarti, Global Head & Vice President of Industrial Autonomy and Engineering,
TCS, said, “When we think of a manufacturing facility, we picture legacy factories and heavy equipment, that
run on intense manual effort. At TCS, we are reimagining those environments and building factories for the
future. With our state-of-the-art TCS Industrial Autonomy & Engineering Lab – Lights-Out Factory, we are
advancing TCS' vision of engineering AI-first production systems. We have built a facility that can help
customers turn their aspiration of lights-out manufacturing into a reality. The lab provides a tangible
demonstration of how the Human + AI model can help enterprises progress from digitally enabled operations
to increasingly autonomous production systems.”
Today, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to stay agile and improve outcomes, while keeping pace

with evolving operational complexities. The new lab addresses this need by enabling customers to move
beyond isolated automation initiatives and explore integrated approaches to engineering, manufacturing,
and operations.
The Pune facility focuses on a set of interconnected capabilities that span engineering, manufacturing and
factory operations, providing a practical environment to explore emerging industrial technologies and
operating models. These include:
• Autonomous Factory Concepts: AI-enabled production optimisation, predictive maintenance,
quality inspection, and resilient operations.
• Digital Twin and Simulation Environments: Virtual models and test environments to validate factory
scenarios before real-world deployment.
• Vision AI, Robotics, and Industrial Automation: Use cases that support machine perception,
adaptive workflows, and human-machine collaboration.
• Sensor-to-Cloud Industrial Intelligence: Connecting shop-floor signals with edge and cloud platforms
to enable real-time, context-aware decision-making.
• Software-Defined Engineering: Engineering capabilities that help industrial systems evolve
continuously through software, data, and AI-driven automation.
The lab is part of TCS’ ongoing work in industrial autonomy, smart manufacturing, engineering
transformation, and AI-led enterprise modernisation. With the launch of this facility in Pune, TCS continues
to work towards its commitment to build a more intelligent, connected and sustainable tomorrow by
enabling manufacturers to reimagine products, plants and operations.
