Industrial Automation

The broad adoption of new technologies is driving the future of work in industrial automation. Virtualization, cloud applications and wireless are among the latest technologies now taking industrial automation to the next level. Tomorrow’s organizations will be more connected, software functionality will be more embedded, and nanotechnology will bring advances that will change manufacturing in a big way.

Cognizant’s EMS practice is well equipped to apply these and other solutions to your specific business needs on a local, regional or global scale. While we have helped clients become more competitive in many different ways, our industrial automation expertise is commonly applied in two broad areas: product development and control automation.

Product Development

EMS has deep experience working with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original design manufacturers (ODMs), process plants and systems integrators. Our expertise applies to all product phases including concept development, implementation, testing, maintenance and sustenance. And thanks to our partnership with Invensys, our consulting team has grown with the addition of more than 600+ operations professionals working out of two R&D centers.

We have delivered lasting business value to plant management and safety critical systems as well as supervisory and distributed control systems (including SCADA, distributed control systems and GUI development). Our targeted solutions leverage the acquisition, monitoring, analysis, processing and control of data. Meanwhile, we have helped clients enhance field instruments, improve device configuration and networking.

Cognizant’s skills in product engineering capabilities can be grouped into three broad areas:

  • Legacy Products – Re-engineering, porting, migration, value engineering and support
