Wipro and Kongsberg Digital Partner To Deploy AI Digital Twins

28 Apr 2026 CW Team

The joint offering will bring together physics?based engineering models, real?time operations and enterprise AI in a unified environment that reflects live conditions across plants, grids and distributed assets. Wipro will integrate its Industrial?AssetsAI and UpstreamAI platforms with Kongsberg Digital’s solutions to combine simulation, data, AI and automation in a single framework. The partners said this integration aims to simplify digital transformation and strengthen operational resilience for asset?intensive organisations.

Wipro’s managing partner and global head of engineering, Srikumar Rao, described the collaboration as a move to rethink how industrial intelligence is designed and applied and said it will enable enterprises to embed autonomy into operations to anticipate change and navigate complexity. Kongsberg Digital’s chief executive, Shane McArdle, noted that combining the Industrial Work Surface with Wipro’s AI?powered platforms will extend digital twin capability at scale and help customers move from insight to operational impact faster. Both companies will advance a joint roadmap to scale AI?powered digital twin capabilities across energy and utilities environments.

Wipro said the partnership will help organisations accelerate innovation and deliver sustained improvements in performance, safety and sustainability while strengthening operational resilience. The company described its consulting?led approach and the Wipro Intelligence suite as central to co?innovation and co?creation across innovation labs, partner labs and academia. Wipro reported a workforce of 240,000 employees and business partners across 65 countries and advised readers to visit its website for further information.
