SAP, Tuesday, October 27th, 2026
SAP launches Physical AI by SAP at TechEd 2026, connecting robots and field systems to governed enterprise processes.
SAP introduced Physical AI by SAP at SAP TechEd 2026 to connect robots and other physical systems to enterprise processes so field work is governed and auditable.
In SAP's model, business context triggers physical tasks, field data flows back into SAP as structured information, and every action leaves a traceable record.
The offering is built on the SAP Business AI Platform, keeps humans in the loop, and works with partner hardware and AI models.
Examples include Arcelik-LG using a humanoid robot for inbound storage, Intel automating warehouse material movement, and Holcim using drones and quadruped robots for inspections that create maintenance notifications.
