    The client is a leading Indian engineering and manufacturing enterprise from the Kirloskar Group. With large-scale industrial operations, the company relies on connected assets, automation systems, and real-time data exchange across expansive plant environments to drive operational efficiency and productivity. Problem Statement The manufacturer was facing critical challenges in enabling connectivity across its industrial environment: • Limited scalability of legacy Wi-Fi: Industrial automation use cases were constrained due to inadequate device density and inconsistent performance. • Patchy network coverage: Large plant areas experienced connectivity gaps, impacting seamless machine-to-machine communication. • High latency impacting operations: Delay-sensitive, mission-critical applications struggled due to latency limitations of existing networks. Airtel’s Solution We designed and deployed a next-generation private network tailored for industrial automation needs: • Campus-wide Private 5G deployment: Established a dedicated, high-performance private 5G network across the manufacturing facility. • High device density enablement: Enabled seamless connectivity for 1500+ devices with superior capacity and scalability. • Low-latency connectivity: Delivered sub-25 ms latency to support real-time, mission-critical industrial applications. • Future-ready network foundation: Built a scalable infrastructure to support evolving Industry 4.0 use cases. The Impact • Assured operational continuity: Achieved 99.9% uptime for plant-wide connectivity, ensuring uninterrupted industrial operations. • Improved automation performance: Reduced latency significantly, enabling real-time responsiveness for critical processes. • Scalable industrial connectivity: Established a robust network capable of supporting growing device ecosystems and advanced use cases. Conclusion By partnering with Airtel, the manufacturing enterprise transformed its connectivity backbone from fragmented and latency-prone networks to a unified, high-performance Private 5G infrastructure. This upgrade enabled reliable, low-latency communication at scale, unlocking smarter automation, enhanced productivity, and a future-ready digital manufacturing ecosystem.
