Tata Steel Envisions at multi-year Metamorphosis to become a leader in digital Steel-making

The company also stated, "Over the past couple of years, investments made to create a robust IT infrastructure have helped improve our agility. This has also enabled us to respond to the current COVID-19 situation wherein ~8,000 employees are logging into enterprise applications and ~3,500 virtual meetings are being conducted daily as a majority of our workforce continue to operate from home."

Furthermore, the company is also strengthening its network capabilities. Adding to this, the company highlighted, "Our cybersecurity cell can pre-empt a significant amount of ever-increasing intrusion attempts," it added.

Tata Steel said that it has improved its IT infrastructure with a disciplined approach in structured data capturing and hence has led to higher generation with secured storage of data and seamless transmission.

If we look at the statistics in FY 2019-2020, the company’s data generation increased its volume by 2.5 times to reach about 20 TB per month. Because of this, to drive insight-based decision-making, the company has deployed more than 100 data analytics models across processes.

Similarly, the company has also said that in order to help identify sensorisation requirements and enable predictive maintenance for mission-critical equipment, they are developing a robust MTR (Maintenance Technology Roadmap).
