Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has launched its seventh Gemini Experience Center (GEC) at its Innovation Hub in Troy, Michigan, US.
Established in partnership with Google Cloud, the newest TCS GEC focuses on developing cutting-edge physical AI solutions tailored for the manufacturing sector.
The centre marks a significant step in the global expansion of TCS’ Gemini Experience Centres. By the end of 2026, TCS and Google Cloud will have a total of 13 GECs worldwide, with six additional centres set to launch this year, the company said in a statement.
As AI adoption accelerates across industries, these centres will play a critical role in helping enterprises move from isolated AI pilots to scalable, production-ready transformation programmes, it said.
The Physical AI GEC for Manufacturing in Troy will enable global manufacturers to explore, test, and scale physical AI use cases for safety, quality, and operational efficiency with intelligence at the core, the company said in a statement.
The centre features the TCS Physical AI Blueprint—an end-to-end framework that integrates AI-powered quadruped and humanoid robotics with advanced sensing, edge intelligence, and secure cloud orchestration to deliver real-time operational insight and autonomous decision support.
The key use cases include autonomous patrolling and surveillance, environmental anomaly detection, personal protective equipment compliance monitoring, intelligent quality inspection, progress mapping, and predictive equipment health monitoring.
Anupam Singhal, President – Manufacturing, TCS, said, “Physical AI is where intelligence moves to the edge—into the real world of operations. With the launch, we are enabling manufacturers to extend visibility and decision-making into environments that are difficult, risky, or inefficient for humans to access.”
Designed with a human-in-the-loop approach, physical AI operates alongside the workforce, strengthening safety and resilience, Singhal added.
Saurabh Tiwary, VP and General Manager, Cloud AI, Google Cloud, noted, “Our partnership with TCS focuses on accelerating the deployment of agentic AI where it delivers the most significant value to industrial operations. Through the new centre, we are equipping global manufacturers with the intelligence to build more autonomous, resilient, and data-driven enterprises, allowing them to fully optimise their business models with Google Cloud’s leading technology.”
Through curated demonstrations and scenario-based workshops at the centre, enterprises can experience how to accelerate end-to-end AI adoption from infrastructure to production-ready outcomes to enhance shopfloor performance, modernise enterprise AI platforms, and enable autonomous industrial operations.
So far, TCS has launched six GECs in Bengaluru, New York, Chennai, Riyadh, Singapore, and Sao Paulo. These are part of the TCS Pace innovation network, which connects startups, universities, and customers with industry players.
