Industrial

Our industrial manufacturing practice supports makers of durable and non-durable products for a wide range of markets, including the communications, digital equipment, building controls, electrical, and construction sectors.

Global supply chains, localized products, and virtualized product development are changing the nature of industrial manufacturing. Promising emerging markets require increasingly distributed and flexible operations. At the same time, industrial manufacturers must adopt new business models as they seek to differentiate products and boost profits from ancillary services.

How Cognizant Can Help

Cognizant offers the skills, insights, and capabilities to help industrial manufacturers harness technology to meet their organizational goals, overcome their business challenges, and capitalize on their market opportunities. We have deep and diverse expertise as partners with the world's leading industrial manufacturers, counting many within the Fortune 500 as our clients.

Every day we help industrial manufacturers address a broad array of business strategies and technology initiatives. A few examples of our recent engagements include:

  • Multifaceted relationship with a global products manufacturer: We created a joint engineering center for product innovation, deployed integrated production controls for increased plant uptime, and developed mobility tools for field service operations.
  • Application management for a multinational conglomerate: Through a managed service model, we are supporting more than 12 application service lines that run the client's global operations, with $5.2 million in benefits so far.
  • Mobile field service application for global building systems manufacturer: To boost customer service and reduce maintenance costs, we created an iPhone application that digitized technical information and made job order, scheduling, and invoice applications available anywhere in the field.
