Enterprises are rapidly adopting and deploying robotics across manufacturing, logistics, and industrial environments, but face steep challenges around software, speed-of-deployment, and integration with existing systems. Viam’s advanced robotics and automation platform provides a unified software layer to build, deploy, and manage robotics applications at scale, enabling enterprises to manage robots with the same level of visibility and control as traditional IT systems. Viam’s platform is both hardware agnostic and cloud agnostic, enabling Tech Mahindra’s clients to accelerate adoption of advanced robotics and automation.

Manikantan N S, Global Delivery Head, Manufacturing Service Line, Tech Mahindra, said, “Across industries, enterprises are increasingly looking at robotics and automation as strategic enablers of resilience, productivity, and intelligent decision-making. However, scaling robotics across complex industrial environments continues to remain a challenge due to fragmented software ecosystems, integration complexities, and the need for real-time fleet visibility and management. Our partnership with Viam will help address these challenges by combining Tech Mahindra’s deep engineering and industry expertise with Viam’s advanced hardware-agnostic robotics platform. Together, we aim to enable enterprises to accelerate the adoption of scalable, secure, and intelligent automation solutions while improving operational efficiency and business agility.”

Tech Mahindra plans to expand its dedicated robotics and automation practice leveraging the Viam platform, enabling its global manufacturing clients to deploy automation solutions for customers across industries. The partnership will include training and educating large cohorts of Tech Mahindra engineers on the Viam platform.

“Partnering with Tech Mahindra provides a massive opportunity for enterprises to leverage Viam’s platform on a global scale,” says Eliot Horowitz, CEO and Founder of Viam. “As AI enters the physical world, the future of automation will be defined by software in every industrial environment.”

Tech Mahindra’s global customers are working to meet stringent requirements when it comes to robotics and automation deployment, trustworthiness, and resilience. It will leverage the Viam platform in delivering remote fleet management, predictive and preventive maintenance across robotic fleets and facilities, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates to ensure uptime and optimal productivity.
