Demo: Physical AI | Business Processes & Robots | SAP TechEd 2025

See physical AI (embodied AI) in action: combining robots, computer vision, and SAP data to automate real-world tasks with governance on SAP BTP. In this SAP TechEd demo, we bring AI off the screen and into the real world. You’ll see how physical AI connects computer vision, sensors, and robots with SAP business processes – so a task on the shop floor, warehouse, or service bay triggers the right workflow, approvals, and updates in SAP. The scenario shows a camera detecting a condition, an AI model classifying it, and a robot (or cobot) taking action. Behind the scenes, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) orchestrates events, security, and data access, while keeping your core clean while extending with governed innovation. We walk through the end-to-end flow: streaming signals from edge devices, invoking AI models, and calling enterprise services to create orders, reservations, or maintenance notifications in SAP. You’ll see how role-based access, audit trails, and policy controls keep actions compliant, and how telemetry and dashboards provide observability across devices and processes. For builders, we highlight how to iterate fast using low-code for front-ends where it fits, pro-code for custom logic, and automation to stitch steps together. Whether you’re in manufacturing, logistics, or field service, this practical demo shows how to move from pilot to production with an architecture that scales across sites and use cases – grounded in trusted SAP data and open integrations.
