Physical AI is here. Is your IT/OT foundation ready for it?
What happened
Manufacturers have made AI strategic. Now they need the operating architecture to turn intelligence into impact, safely and at scale.
Why it matters
A machine can detect signs of failure before production stops. The harder question is whether that warning can reach the systems and people are able to act on it.
The Infosys Manufacturing Tech Index: AI Pulse reveals both the progress and the execution gap: 75% of manufacturers have embedded AI into their enterprise strategy, but only one in five manufacturing AI initiatives meets its business objectives.
This challenge is not unique to manufacturing. The Infosys AI Business Value Radar 2025 found that 19% of AI use cases across industries achieve all business objectives, while another 32% partially meet them. The same research links AI success to changes in operating models and data structures. For manufacturers, success depends on connecting AI to the systems, people, and decisions that run the factory.
