Manufacturing Exchange

Physical AI in Action: Building the real time intelligence backbone for manufacturing

How manufacturing leaders are applying AI across machines, processes, and operations to drive real-world impact

⚪ 7 May 2026  |  2:00 PM

⚪ Cognizant Digital Studio, Amsterdam

⚪ Executive Roundtable + Immersive Demos + Lab Experience

⚪ Private Seated Drinks & Dinner: Premium Venue

JOIN US THIS MAY

Join senior manufacturing leaders at the Cognizant Digital Studio in Amsterdam for a closed-door exchange on how Physical AI is reshaping modern manufacturing. This exclusive session brings together peers to explore how intelligence is being embedded into real world environments—across production, quality, maintenance, and supply networks—to move from experimentation to operational impact.

 

Manufacturers are investing heavily in AI. Yet many initiatives stall at pilots, dashboards, or isolated use cases. The challenge is no longer data or models, it’s how contextual intelligence is engineered into physical systems that operate in real time.

 

Physical AI goes beyond digital analytics. It connects AI models directly to machines, processes, and human workflows—enabling systems that sense, decide, and act in dynamic manufacturing environments.

 

At scale, this requires more than technology. It demands new operating models, trusted architectures, and tight alignment between IT, OT, and engineering teams.

 

This roundtable explores how enterprises are:

 

  • Embedding AI into physical processes to drive real time, intuitive operations

  • Moving from AI experimentation to repeatable, scalable manufacturing outcomes

  • Combining cloud, edge, and OT systems to enable intelligent decision making on the factory floor

  • Applying Physical AI across priority use cases, from quality and throughput to energy, maintenance, and resilience


Hosted at the Cognizant Digital Studio in Amsterdam, this session gives leaders hands on exposure to how intelligent systems are designed, tested, and refined in real world settings—bridging strategy and execution.

 

Led by Cognizant, this exclusive, closed-door experience is designed for manufacturing leaders focused on translating AI ambition into measurable operational value.
