AI power-bidding application and root-cause analysis tool in plants
Apollo Tyres reported over Rs 1 crore saved in three months from an AI power-bidding application
Problem
Tyre plants buy large amounts of electricity, and finding the cause of a production problem took analysts long hours.
Approach
Apollo deployed an AI-based power-bidding application at its Andhra Pradesh plant and an AI root-cause analysis tool. It also set up an AI Innovation Unit covering manufacturing, supply chain and R&D, and was developing AI and machine-learning compound-mixing systems. The company did not disclose a plant-wise schedule or investment.

Takeaway
Both figures are company claims taken from its annual report, and the basis for each was not given.
