TCS Innovation Labs - Cincinnati

Lab Head: Gautam Sardar

We create IT based solutions for engineering and manufacturing in collaboration with universities, research institutes and customers in North America. Our aim is to develop solutions based on formal methods in optimization, modeling, and analytics. The lab addresses challenges in product design sustainability, early stage design, portfolio optimization, and applications of mathematical modeling/analytic techniques to engineering problems.

Research Areas

The Cincinnati Innovation Lab focuses on the following areas of research:

• Product Design and Sustainability: Challenges in extracting semantic understanding in design data/information and making tacit knowledge useful for others involved in the design process (Working Knowledge Models - WKM), Visualization, interaction and collaboration (social Networking) frameworks in early stage product design, and methods/tools for product re-design and sustainability.
• Analytics and Process Based Modeling: Application of process based modeling concepts to product and process improvement. The work would focus on development of tools and techniques for applying formal modeling, simulation, and optimization techniques for product design and improvement in industry verticals such as medical devices, automotive, lifesciences, etc.
• Multi-product Optimization: Development of processes and methods for optimization driven product rationalization for manufacturing domain. The initiative focuses on solving challenging problems in product rationalization leading to cost advantage in downstream manufacturing and service functions.
