MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD. | Integrated Annual Report 2022-23

To test the power of AI, the team at Mahindra Digital Engine along with our development partner Uneeq created a digital human - a digital avatar of Mr. Anand Mahindra. The Digital Human uses artif icial intelligence and natural language processing to synthesise answers to questions that one may have on our Rise philosophy, Leadership and Sustainability. Following a successful soft launch and with testing underway, Mahindra Digital Engine is planned for launch across the Mahindra Group in the near future. Digital Human Project We adopted DevSecOps platform to improve the end-to-end code quality security from the development stage to production deployment. DevSecOps NAC has been implemented to improve the overall enterprise network infra visibility and access management through policy enforcement on authorised devices and users. NAC (Network Access Control) Segregation of OT network from IT network is recommended, for better visibility, security of IT layer and to enable 3 party vendor to access OT devices securely when required. IT-OT Segregation To secure the enterprise network from malicious attacks and avoid down-time of critical business operations, cloud based Anti-DDOS mitigation services have been implemented for data centres. This helps f ilter out malicious traff ic before it impacts the network and servers. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Protection We have deployed a drone-based solution that accurately geotags vehicles in the yard against their unique identif ication numbers, thereby enabling accurate vehicle tracking, quick navigation and saving signif icant time and efforts of drivers. Drone-based vehicle inventory management Paint Defect Inspection using computer vision A SMART machine learning model was built and deployed across various plants to bring down hot f iring and load testing to 10% and leading to savings of around INR 200 per engine. Smart Engine testing using AI Extensive use of digital manufacturing technologies such as simulations, analytics, 3D factory and collaboration to design and setup world class facilities and deliver best in class products. Digital manufacturing A programme institutionalised to expedite our digital transformation efforts and become a technology leader leveraging advanced analytics and automation to deliver exponential impact. Manufacturing NEXT A Next Generation Paint Defect Inspection system has been employed. It uses Artif icial Intelligence, Edge Computing and Computer Vision to identify Paint Defects in just 20 seconds with more than 95% accuracy, resulting in better quality, fewer complaints and more satisf ied customers.
