To speed up AI-powered manufacturing, TCS opens the Gemini Experience Center in the US

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Monday announced the launch of a new Gemini Experience Centre in Troy, Michigan in the United States to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence solutions in the manufacturing sector.

The centre has been set up in partnership with Google Cloud and is the seventh Gemini Experience Centre globally. It will focus on developing Physical AI solutions designed specifically for industrial and manufacturing environments.

According to TCS, the facility will allow manufacturers to explore, test and scale AI-powered applications that improve safety, product quality and operational efficiency. The centre combines Google’s Gemini AI models with TCS’s manufacturing expertise and includes the company’s Physical AI Blueprint—an end-to-end framework that integrates robotics, advanced sensors, edge intelligence and secure cloud systems.

The new centre will demonstrate several real-world use cases such as autonomous patrolling and surveillance, environmental anomaly detection, monitoring of personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance, intelligent quality inspection, progress tracking and predictive equipment health monitoring.

Anupam Singhal, President of Manufacturing at TCS, said Physical AI brings intelligence directly into real-world operations. He explained that it helps companies extend visibility and decision-making into environments that may be difficult or risky for humans to access.

He added that the centre follows a “human-in-the-loop” model, where AI systems work alongside employees to improve safety and efficiency while building more adaptive and future-ready industrial environments.

Saurabh Tiwary, Vice President and General Manager of Cloud AI at Google Cloud, said the collaboration aims to speed up the use of agentic AI in industrial operations. He noted that the Gemini Experience Centre will help manufacturers create more autonomous and data-driven businesses using Google Cloud technologies.

The launch is part of TCS’s global expansion of Gemini Experience Centres. The company plans to open 13 centres worldwide by the end of 2026, including six more facilities scheduled to launch later this year.

TCS currently operates other Gemini Experience Centres in cities such as Bengaluru, New York City, Chennai, Riyadh, Singapore and São Paulo as part of its Pace and innovation network, which connects startups, universities and businesses with emerging technologies.

The new centre also supports TCS’s strategy of working with major cloud providers to help enterprises adopt AI technologies across the full technology stack—from infrastructure to production-ready applications—enabling more autonomous industrial operations.
