Intel and SAP demonstrate physical AI and autonomous warehouse deployment

Intel and SAP have collaborated to connect enterprise IT systems with the operational technology that controls physical devices, and demonstrated physical AI automating warehouse material handling through a proof of concept (PoC). In this PoC, business requests from SAP EWM are sent to autonomous robots equipped with Intel edge AI software and hardware; the robots transport materials and report task status back, forming a closed loop between enterprise workflows and physical execution. The demonstration reduced transport distances and repetitive manual handling.
