lotus x iprova

Lotus reveals that it is teaming up with Iprova, a data-driven invention company, to deliver an AI-accelerated approach to the global transport sector. Their partnership, per the Hethel-based automotive brand, combines the latest AI-enabled way of creating breakthrough inventions with the ability to develop proof of concept, design, and engineering of products based on them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • In what field is Iprova an expert?

    The Swiss tech company specializes in data and algorithms. Its Invention Studio platform leverages AI, data, and automation to transform what can often be very manual and slow-moving invention processes.
  • How will Lotus and Iprova bring AI acceleration to the global transport sector?

    Per the British car brand, both companies will offer their expertise in creating breakthrough inventions across the transportation sector.
  • “Our clients have told us that they want to make bold and breakthrough products at key points of disruption. It’s a process driven by creativity and therefore a need to invent. Iprova’s technology delivers this efficiently at scale and so this collaboration adds a vital new element to our portfolio of consultancy services,” said Lotus Engineering Commercial Director Mark Stringer.

    Both the British carmaker and the Swiss tech company will target the transportation center and promote innovation at key points of industry disruption, then produce the resulting inventions more quickly and efficiently than ever before.

    “Just as there is a need for invention, there is also a need for implementation — to develop proof-of-concept prototypes and then engineer products. This is what Lotus Engineering provides. Our own technical services range from design and concept engineering through to full-scale industrialization, attribute development, and even manufacturing. This partnership with Iprova means we can better support our clients throughout the product development process, aiding collaboration and ingenuity right from the very start,” Stringer added.

    Lotus has a wealth of experience in identifying and adapting ideas from other fields of industry. An example is the automotive adhesive bonding process pioneered on the Lotus Elise which was inspired by the non-stick coating used on cookware.

    Meanwhile, Iprova’s expertise lies in data and algorithms. Iprova’s Invention Studio platform leverages AI, data, and automation to transform what can often be very manual and slow-moving invention processes. Its data-driven approach to invention brings a systematic and repeatable process to creating breakthrough inventions across the transportation sector.

    Together, Lotus and Iprova will offer a unique proposition that provides a comprehensive and integrated solution for companies that need to “invent big and implement fast” in order to stay ahead of their competition.

    “Lotus leads the world in driving dynamics and engagement by enabling the driver to sense feedback from the road. Our invention platform, Invention Studio, transforms the process of invention by enabling engineers and scientists to sense inventive signals as they occur, in real-time, even if they are very distant to the target invention area. This enables sector-defining inventions to be created with great speed and efficiency. There are no prizes for coming second in the race to invent and implement and, for this reason, partnering with Lotus Engineering makes perfect sense. Together we are able to invent and implement faster, minimizing the time from opportunity identification through to product launch,” commented Iprova CEO Julian Nolan.
