Manufacturing & JV Network

Plants at Sikandrabad, Gailpur and Malootana, Srikalahasti in the South, a Nepal operation and a set of Morbi joint ventures that flex capacity with demand. Gas, glaze, clay and freight dominate cost; consistency of shade and gloss dominates quality.

What runs the business today

  • Plant SCADA, kiln controllers and press logs
  • SAP PP/MM for production and materials
  • Quality inspection recorded per lot, partially manual
  • Energy metering at plant level, not line level

Data already being created

  • Kiln, press and dryer time-series across plants
  • Shade, gloss and dimensional QC results by lot
  • Gas, power and glaze consumption per msm
  • JV production and dispatch feeds

Where value leaks today

  • Best-run line's recipe is not transferable because no one has the data side by side
  • Rejections and shade variance are found at grading, not at the kiln
  • Gas cost per square metre varies plant to plant without explanation
  • JV output quality is trusted rather than verified

What we would build for Manufacturing & JV Network

A plant twin that pays for itself in gas and rejection savings alone.
