Polycab India Limited is revolutionizing the wires and cables market. By leveraging Siemens Xcelerator and collaborating with Hi-Mak, one of the leading Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem partners in India, Polycab is driving digital transformation to support India's booming market.
To stay competitive and meet the increasing demands of the infrastructure sector, Polycab recognized the need for digital transformation. The company faced challenges such as lack of transparency at the shop floor level on production, machine downtime analysis and energy consumption. Siemens curated a perfect solution.
The comprehensive Siemens Xcelerator suite facilitates seamless integration of digital technologies into Polycab's operations. Siemens' ecosystem partners played a crucial role in realizing these digital transformation goals.
Edge-enabled SIMATIC IPC227G connected Polycab’s S7-based and third-party systems for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. Data flowed to AWS via SiteWise Edge, enabling analytics dashboards and local operation.
Hi-Mak, a key Xcelerator partner in India, played a pivotal role in developing a tailored, fast-scaling digitalization approach and deploying Polycab’s solution using its strong Industrial Edge and cloud expertise.
Polycab India uses Siemens Xcelerator and Hi-Mak's expertise to digitize wire and cable production. At Hannover Messe 2025, Bhargav Vyas from Hi-Mak shared how this enables real-time data, predictive maintenance and advanced analytics in Polycab's operations.
Polycab realized several benefits from this digital transformation initiative. The company achieved real-time production transparency, both shift-wise and machine-wise, on the shop floor level for each plant. Energy consumption was monitored both product-wise and machine-wise, and machine downtime analysis was conducted along with reasons for downtime. Customized reporting solutions provided valuable insights, and the implementation ensured IEC 62443 cybersecurity compliance. The flexibility of using Edge Apps in the future for various use cases, such as local data analytics and condition monitoring, was also a significant advantage.
Polycab's successful digital transformation journey sets the stage for future growth and expansion. The company plans to scale the solution to other manufacturing sites along with dedicated solutions focusing on predictive maintenance.
As the wires and cables industry continues to grow, the commitment to quality and safety remains paramount. Companies like Polycab India Limited are leading the way by embracing digital transformation and leveraging advanced technologies to ensure their products meet the highest standards.
Through strategic partnerships with Siemens and ecosystem partners like Hi-Mak, Polycab has successfully implemented solutions that provide real-time production transparency, energy efficiency, while meeting production standards and benchmarks. As they continue to expand their digital footprint across India, Polycab sets new standards in the industry, demonstrating how innovation and collaboration can drive excellence and reliability in the wires and cables sector.
