L&T Technology Services expands Siemens partnership to deliver AI-enabled automation-what it means for real estate and construction
Bengaluru, India - Oct 4, 2025. L&T Technology Services (LTTS) has expanded its partnership with Siemens Limited to accelerate Machine & Line Simulation and IIoT adoption across manufacturing-heavy sectors. The collaboration focuses on Siemens' TIA Portal, Industrial Edge, and Tecnomatix platforms, paired with LTTS' AI-driven engineering. The goal: faster design cycles, better accuracy, and data-backed decisions across factories and plants.
For construction firms, building product manufacturers, and large real estate operators, this is a direct path to smarter production, higher uptime, and lower energy intensity. The partnership builds on a decade of joint work and extends into LTTS' Sustainability segment covering process engineering, discrete manufacturing, and industrial products.
Why construction and real estate leaders should care
- Offsite and prefabrication: Simulate full lines for precast, MEP skids, façades, and modular assemblies before equipment hits the floor-cut commissioning time and rework.
- Building products manufacturing: From cement and steel auxiliaries to HVAC, glazing, and insulation lines-use IIoT to reduce scrap, energy per unit, and unplanned downtime.
- Large assets and facilities: Connect plant equipment and building systems for predictive maintenance and energy optimization across campuses and industrial parks.
- Compliance and safety: Digital models help test throughput, ergonomics, and safety logic in advance, supporting smoother audits and fewer on-site incidents.
How the stack delivers value
- Tecnomatix: Line and process simulation to validate layouts, throughput, and automation logic before physical build-out. Scenario testing without halting production.
- TIA Portal: Centralized engineering for PLCs, drives, and HMI-shorter commissioning, standardized code blocks, and easier change control across sites.
- Industrial Edge: On-site analytics and IIoT connectivity to capture machine data, run models near the source, and act in real time.
Combined with LTTS' AI-led engineering, teams can move from reactive fixes to predictive operations. Expect clearer visibility into OEE, energy, and quality, with faster iteration from design to production.
What LTTS and Siemens said
Alind Saxena, President & Executive Director - Mobility & Tech at LTTS, said the collaboration aims to push AI-enabled innovation and operational excellence across industrial ecosystems, with a focus on Machine & Line Simulation and IIoT for measurable outcomes.
Suprakash Chaudhuri, Head of Digital Industries at Siemens, highlighted partnerships as central to digital transformation for Indian enterprises, noting that combining domain expertise with proven digital platforms enables scalable, future-ready solutions.
90-day action plan for owners, contractors, and plant leaders
- Pick one pilot line or process with clear pain (downtime, rework, energy). Baseline OEE, scrap, and kWh per unit.
- Create a simulation model (layout, cycle times, constraints) and test alternative routings, buffer sizes, and staffing.
- Instrument critical equipment with Edge connectivity and standardize tags for data quality.
- Automate a small but valuable decision loop (e.g., maintenance trigger from vibration data, energy throttling during peak pricing).
- Review results bi-weekly and lock in wins as standard work before scaling.
Vendor and partner checklist
- Can you simulate my exact product mix and variability, not just ideal cycles?
- How do you integrate with existing PLC/HMI standards and my CMMS/BIM/BMS stack?
- What's the security posture for Edge deployments and remote support?
- Which KPIs will move in 90 days, and how will we prove it?
- What's the plan for change management, training, and documentation?
