Vedanta Aluminium Accelerates Digital Transformation with AI and IoT for Smart Manufacturing

Recently, Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminum producer, has accelerated the digital transformation of its plants, deploying artificial intelligence, industrial IoT, advanced analytics, and intelligent safety systems at scale to build a next-generation connected smart manufacturing system and comprehensively enhance site safety, production efficiency, and operational resilience. Its digital transformation has already delivered tangible results across multiple business areas, including production and manufacturing, logistics and transportation, asset management, and on-site safety.

In logistics management, the Korba smelter, Vedanta Aluminium’s core production site, has built an AI control tower that integrates GPS positioning, IoT vehicle tracking, video telematics, geofencing, and real-time data analytics to enable end-to-end intelligent monitoring of coal transportation, finished product warehouse withdrawals, fly ash disposal, and other logistics processes, significantly improving logistics scheduling and oversight. In safety development, the Lanjigarh site has focused its digital efforts on personnel safety training and emergency response capability building.
