The Company places immense focus on innovation, and that has translated into the quality of its products, which are considered one of the best in the industry. As part of Ambuja Cements, the Company will now amplify its thrust on research and innovation to improve its products and increase overall efficiencies.
ACL has established Ambuja Knowledge Centres (AKCs) across 18 sites in India, serving as knowledge-sharing hubs for architects and engineers. These centres focus on educating construction professionals about sustainable construction, advanced materials, and techniques. The Company will look to leverage the AKC platform and actively promote and educate professionals through various physical and virtual knowledge-sharing activities.
As strong proponents of digitalisation, the Company recognises its pivotal role in fostering sustainable business growth. The Company has initiated the integration of various digital techniques into its core business operations, including sales, logistics, material management, manufacturing, control systems, and technology operations. With a well-defined digital transformation strategy, the Company aims to revolutionise these processes, optimising resource allocation for sustainable business growth while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Its digital transformation endeavours align with Industry 4.0, and substantial investments underscore its dedication to enhancing its position in the Indian cement manufacturing sector.
The Company’s focus on supply chain transformation revolves around strategic investments in automated logistics infrastructure and process automation. It is in the process of deploying hardware and software solutions, including integrating Push API with SAP ERP, to optimise its extensive supply chain network. The real-time AI-enabled tracking platform, supported by analytics and machine learning, provides actionable insights derived from track and trace data. Ongoing efforts are directed towards expanding GPS coverage, minimising warehouse diversion, and reducing logistics costs. The Company’s goal is to address data gaps and automate all operations currently managed by the operations team, ensuring the long-term sustainability of this transformative supply chain.
The Company is focused on aligning with the IEC 62443 standard and Adani Operational Technology (OT) security guidelines to ensure robust protection of its business. Implementing operational technology network segmentation is crucial in blocking unauthorised access to sensitive data and devices. Its strategy includes segregating IT and OT networks, adhering to IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 62443 standards, and complying with various cybersecurity measures like DLP (Data Loss Prevention), SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), Proxy, and MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). Recently, Sanghipuram underwent a thorough compliance audit, validating the effectiveness of its security measures and alignment with industry standards. This proactive approach underscores the Company’s commitment to data protection and operational integrity, positioning it as cybersecurity resilient.
