Outcomes of the Cisco and NTT DATA partnership

Together, we can accelerate Ford’s transformation and drive improvements in quality, efficiency, resilience and innovation by:

Elevating quality and protecting Ford’s reputation

Modernize factories with AI-powered visual inspection and predictive analytics to detect defects early, prevent costly recalls and ensure quality in critical components. Doing so strengthens brand trust and delivers precision manufacturing for reliable, high-quality vehicles.

Reducing costs and increasing efficiency

Fault-Managed Power cuts costs and secures infrastructure for sustainable factories. Combined with AI automation, robotics and intelligent agents, it boosts efficiency, reduces complexity and lowers total ownership costs. This empowers leaner and more agile operations and better customer experiences.

Strengthening resilience and reducing risk across the enterprise

Protect factories, fleets and vehicles with advanced security and a “cyber dome” that safeguards assets and data. Improved supply chain visibility and updated platforms reduce risks, prevent disruptions and minimize recalls — ensuring safer, more reliable automotive operations.

Accelerating revenue growth and time to market

Innovate faster with AI automation, humanoid robotics and advanced visual systems — compressing design cycles and speeding production. Fault-Managed Power helps you expand into new markets like energy storage, unlocking growth through intelligent, sustainable automotive products and services.
