HCLTech and SAP expand collaboration to develop Physical AI for real-world industries.
New solutions aim to automate manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics operations.
Partnership focuses on embodied AI, warehouse automation, fleet optimization, and 3D reality capture.

HCLTech has expanded its partnership with SAP to build next-generation Physical AI solutions that bring artificial intelligence into real-world industrial and business environments. The companies will jointly develop and deploy AI-powered systems designed to boost productivity, streamline operations, and support faster decision-making for enterprise customers.

The collaboration will focus on using embodied AI, AI systems with a physical presence like robots or autonomous machines to solve complex challenges across manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics. Physical AI enables systems to sense, interpret, and act in real environments, making it a crucial technology for the future of smart operations.

One of the key areas of development is warehouse automation. HCLTech and SAP will work on AI-led tools that improve picking, sorting, and workflow efficiency, helping organizations move goods faster and more accurately. The partnership will also apply multi-agent AI models to large enterprise fleets to optimize route planning, improve coordination, and increase overall logistics performance.

The two firms plan to explore advanced embodied AI capabilities for 3D reality capture, enabling businesses to collect richer data and strengthen operational insights. This technology can support improved monitoring, maintenance, and decision-making across industrial sites.
