The partnership combines Wandelbots’ intelligent Physical AI software platform with Tech Mahindra’s extensive expertise in manufacturing transformation, AI, cloud, and systems integration. This enables companies to implement industrial automation more quickly, reduce the complexity of implementation, and improve their operational agility across various production environments.

As manufacturing companies increasingly adopt Industry 4.0, they continue to face challenges such as complex robot programming, fragmented automation landscapes, a shortage of skilled workers, and scaling automation across multiple sites. By combining Physical-AI software with enterprise-level implementation expertise, this collaboration helps companies simplify the deployment of industrial robotics—leveraging Wandelbots’ NOVA platform and Tech Mahindra’s expertise.

“We envision a future in which factories continuously learn, adapt, and respond to changing business needs. Robotics will evolve from isolated machines performing predefined tasks to an intelligent, connected, and autonomous work environment—enabled by software, data, and Physical AI. Through our partnership with Wandelbots, we aim to democratize industrial robotics by making automation easier to program, faster to deploy, and scalable across various technologies and manufacturing environments. By combining Wandelbots’ software-defined, robot-agnostic platform with Tech Mahindra’s manufacturing expertise, AI capabilities, and global transformation strength, we are helping companies move decisively toward the adaptive, autonomous, and human-centered factories of the future.”, said Manikantan N. S., Senior Vice President and Global Head – Manufacturing, Tech Mahindra.

“This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver NOVA-based automation at scale to enterprise customers. With NOVA as a platform for Physical AI, combined with Tech Mahindra’s technical expertise and customer relationships, we can integrate the platform into manufacturing processes more quickly and effectively,” explains Tobias Schmidt, Head of Partnerships at Wandelbots.

By combining intelligent robotics, Physical AI, and enterprise-level implementation expertise, the collaboration will help manufacturing companies modernize their operations while accelerating their Industry 4.0 transformation. Beyond technological integration, Wandelbots and Tech Mahindra will collaborate on joint go-to-market initiatives, customer workshops, innovation programs, customer projects, and strategic activities. Through these efforts, the companies aim to demonstrate how AI-powered robotics can transform manufacturing processes across industries.

The partnership will initially focus on key manufacturing sectors, including the automotive industry, industrial equipment, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods. This is intended to help companies gain greater flexibility, increase employee productivity, and deliver value more quickly through intelligent automation.
