Ola Electric Technologies Private Limited

High-Performance IT Passive Cabling Infrastructure for Manufacturing and R&D Operations in Krishnagiri and Bangalore

Ola Electric Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a key player in India’s rapidly evolving electric mobility sector, operates large-scale electric vehicle manufacturing, testing, and research facilities in Krishnagiri along with advanced engineering and corporate operations in Bangalore. These environments support EV production lines, battery development labs, quality testing units, IoT-based telemetry systems, cloud-driven software development, digital manufacturing workflows, and large collaborative engineering teams.

To sustain these high-density and data-intensive operations, Ola Electric required a robust, scalable, and interference-resistant IT passive cabling infrastructure engineered to perform reliably in both industrial and corporate environments.

Orchids Network & Systems (I) Pvt. Ltd. was selected to implement a next-generation structured cabling ecosystem across both Krishnagiri and Bangalore, ensuring seamless connectivity, high availability, and long-term scalability.

Project Objective

The objective was to engineer a unified IT passive cabling foundation capable of supporting EV manufacturing systems, MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), ERP platforms, R&D data capture tools, cloud-native engineering applications, IoT communication layers, and collaborative digital workspaces. Ola Electric needed an infrastructure that could endure the environmental challenges of production floors while meeting the bandwidth and performance expectations of modern engineering and software teams.

The solution had to align with Ola’s aggressive growth plans, high-volume R&D cycles, and digital-first operational model.

Industrial-Grade Structured Cabling for High-Performance Manufacturing

Orchids designed and deployed a CAT6A shielded copper cabling system across the Krishnagiri plant to support production lines, testing zones, quality control stations, warehouse operations, and digital monitoring systems. Shielded cabling ensured immunity from electromagnetic interference generated by high-power machinery, robotics, battery testing equipment, and manufacturing automation tools.

A multi-tier fiber backbone interconnected communication rooms, control zones, engineering environments, and administrative areas. This provided stable low-latency connectivity required for MES, real-time equipment monitoring, analytics dashboards, and continuous production data exchange.

Routing pathways were engineered with industrial containment, dust-resistant conduits, EMI-safe separation, and controlled bend radii to ensure durability and performance reliability.

High-Bandwidth Cabling for R&D and Engineering Workflows in Bangalore

The Bangalore facility required an engineering-focused cabling structure that supports cloud applications, software development systems, simulation environments, design engineering workloads, and high-definition collaboration.

Orchids deployed a uniform structured cabling system across engineering clusters, lab spaces, meeting rooms, collaborative zones, and administrative floors. The infrastructure ensured fast, stable network access for tasks such as firmware development, connected vehicle platform testing, IoT data streaming, and cross-functional engineering communication.

Multi-Location Standardization and Zero-Disruption Deployment

Ola Electric’s operations run continuously across manufacturing and engineering functions, leaving minimal room for system downtime. Orchids executed the implementation through a phased, non-disruptive deployment strategy, coordinating closely with plant managers, IT leadership, and safety compliance teams.

Both Krishnagiri and Bangalore received consistent engineering layouts, labeling systems, documentation formats, and certification reports. This standardization ensured uniform performance and simplified IT governance across all Ola Electric locations.

Compliance, Documentation, and Audit Integration

All cabling systems were designed in accordance with ISO and TIA standards as well as Ola’s internal IT governance frameworks. Orchids provided complete as-built documentation, including rack layouts, fiber test results, containment design diagrams, patch panel maps, and certification documents.

This ensures simplified audits, faster troubleshooting, and long-term maintainability of the infrastructure.

Outcome and Measurable Impact

Ola Electric’s Krishnagiri and Bangalore sites now operate on a high-availability, production-ready structured cabling backbone engineered for EV manufacturing and engineering innovation. The optimized infrastructure significantly reduced network latency, strengthened communication between production and R&D teams, and improved responsiveness for mission-critical digital systems.

Real-time manufacturing monitoring, IoT data capture, and quality tracking systems now function with enhanced reliability. Engineering teams experienced improved application performance, smoother collaboration, and more efficient access to cloud and on-premise development tools.

The infrastructure is fully prepared to support future expansions including increased EV production capacity, digital manufacturing automation, advanced testing systems, and software-driven vehicle innovations.
