JLR partners with Tata Communications for digital transformation
Luxury car brand JLR has partnered with Tata Communications for digital transformation, paving the way for new standards such as Industry 4.0 and advanced analytics.
Under this partnership, Tata Communications will deploy its cloud-first, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) technology, connecting all JLR’s 128 sites worldwide. This connected capability—between JLR’s global HQ and its plants, warehouses, sales centres, data centres and cloud services—is expected to boost supply chain efficiency and security.
Further, it will power the production of JLR’s next-generation vehicles, a key part of its Reimagine strategy, and provide the connectivity foundation for the next phase of digital transformation for the organisation.
This will enable JLR to bring in AI-powered and real-time data capturing, monitoring, and analysis to improve production line performance. Through predictive risk management controls, the carmaker will be able to identify potential anomalies more effectively.
Tata Communications has started the implementation of the network transformation programme and will complete the deployment by 2025.

DeepTek.ai unveils AI-powered chest X-ray solution
, a provider of AI solutions for medical imaging, unveiled Augmento X-Ray, a CADe chest X-ray AI solution powered by the US FDA, designed to reduce radiologist workload and improve the quality of chest X-ray reporting.
Chest radiography is the most common medical imaging tool used in routine clinical practices to identify different disease findings. With 3.5 billion annual X-rays performed, 1.5 billion dedicated to chest examinations, the need for precise interpretation is critical. However, due to heavy workloads and a scarcity of experienced radiologists, timely reporting of every image is not always possible, potentially leading to missed detections.
The shortage of radiologists accentuates the significance of AI in tackling this challenge head-on. According to the company, Augmento X-Ray helps in reducing the workload of radiologists by around 30-50%. It further claimed that the solution also provides in-depth analysis for a wide spectrum of lung, pleura, and cardiac findings, as well as detection of foreign bodies and hardware within the chest.
