Tata Elxsi, Viridium AI launch material intelligence platform for medtech firms
Tata Elxsi on Tuesday announced the launch of ViTel, a new material intelligence solution for medical device manufacturers, developed in partnership with Viridium AI, as companies across the medtech sector grapple with growing regulatory and supply chain pressures.
The platform is being formally introduced at the DeviceTalks Boston 2026, where Tata Elxsi is showcasing its latest work in AI-powered medical technology engineering and compliance. The launch comes at a time when medical device manufacturers are under increasing pressure to manage sourcing risks, regulatory compliance and supply chain disruptions across global markets.
According to the companies, material-related decisions now directly affect manufacturing margins, product development timelines, continuity of supply and market access. Yet much of the underlying product information remains fragmented across bills of materials, supplier records, enterprise resource planning systems and product lifecycle management platforms.
ViTel is designed to address this by creating what the companies described as a reusable “Material Intelligence” layer across the enterprise. The system enables manufacturers to identify material and supplier dependencies, assess country-of-origin risks, evaluate sourcing alternatives and map how material-related issues could affect product costs or regulatory compliance.
The platform is powered by Viridium AI’s Knowledge Cloud, Chemical Digital Twin and science-constrained AI models. The companies said these technologies convert fragmented enterprise data into a connected product-material knowledge graph linking products, materials, chemicals, suppliers, regulations and supporting evidence.
Tata Elxsi said the platform also incorporates its experience in medtech engineering and regulatory services developed over three decades. The company said this expertise has been integrated into how the system evaluates compliance, sourcing and material risks.
Sreevatsa Sahasranaman, Senior Vice President and Head of Healthcare and Life Sciences at Tata Elxsi, said the platform would help medical device companies improve decision-making across sourcing, engineering, quality and regulatory workflows.
“ViTel brings Material Intelligence directly into the product and compliance workflows that matter most, helping our customers make faster, more confident decisions across sourcing, engineering, quality and regulatory readiness,” Sahasranaman said.
Niraj Deo, Chief Executive Officer of Viridium AI, said digitising product and material information could help manufacturers build reusable enterprise intelligence for sourcing, engineering and regulatory decisions.
“Once product and material knowledge are digitized, it becomes a reusable enterprise asset for margin, sourcing, engineering, quality, and regulatory decisions,” Deo said.
Muthusamy Selvaraj, Vice President for Innovation and Partnerships in Healthcare and Life Sciences at Tata Elxsi, said the partnership emerged from an effort to adapt advanced material intelligence systems specifically for healthcare applications.
