PARIS, June 5, 2025 /CNW/ -- Infosys (NSE: INFY), (BSE: INFY), (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, in partnership with the French Tennis Federation (FFT) today announced a powerful line-up of AI-first fan experiences for Roland-Garros 2025. Entering its seventh year as the official AI and Digital Innovation Partner, Infosys is leveraging its AI-first suite of offerings, Infosys Topaz, to apply agentic AI and generative AI to deliver immersive and interactive fan experiences that push the boundaries in sports technology.
The innovations for 2025 include:
AI Commentary: This feature allows fans to truly experience the various highs and lows of the matches. By capturing every thrilling twist and turn, it delivers commentary that brings alive each moment. With player-specific point-of-views, point-by-point or game-level highlights, AI Commentary ensures a viewing experience that is both personal and engaging. The feature leverages out-of-the-box large language models (LLMs) to combine real-time analytics with agentic AI built on multi-agent orchestration.
AI Stadium: Using advanced text-to-image generation to expand on the virtual reality fan zone concept, AI Stadium empowers fans to imagine their own 3D tennis arenas. With voice prompting, fans can create a range of environments from futuristic to nature-inspired in seconds, enabling rapid image generation optimised for VR spatial immersion. This gamified feature brings fans one step closer to their personalized tennis universe, redefining how the sport is experienced.
Generative AI Poster Challenge: New for this year, video generation elevates an experience to a new creative dimension. Using prompts like iconic French landmarks, art styles, and tennis motifs, fans can now generate short, AI-created videos. At the Infosys Fanzone in RG this year, fans can take it a step further by stepping into an immersive LED cube to experience their personalised posters come to life. Developed with responsible AI principles, this feature ensures safe, ethical exploration of generative AI possibilities and rewards winners with tickets and vouchers for Roland-Garros.
The AI innovations at Roland-Garros build on a journey of AI advancements by Infosys, incorporating machine learning and applied AI into properties like Match Centre, AI Videos & AI-Assisted Journalism. These continue to evolve with expanded feature sets to enhance player performance, fan engagement and tournament experiences.
Beyond tech innovations, Infosys is also collaborating with Fête le Mur (FLM), a charity partner of FFT, to support tech-enabled learning initiatives for underprivileged youth in Paris. As part of this, FLM will help develop tennis-related learning modules on Infosys Springboard, a digital learning platform which enables upskilling for digital inclusion and social impact. Courses will range from leadership and training to safeguarding for tennis camps and additional sports. A group of 60 students will be offered the chance to visit Roland-Garros and take part in AI and technology workshops led by Infosys experts. Additionally, the winner of a competition to identify the biggest Rafa fan will receive an exclusive two-day experience at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain.

Rockwell Automation Report Finds CPG Industry Prioritizing Innovation Over Cost-Cutting
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 19, 2025 /CNW/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced the results of the 10th annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report: Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Edition. The findings highlight how manufacturers are placing greater importance on innovation, workforce development, and long-term growth strategies. The CPG industry is facing pressure on multiple fronts, from the growth of store brands to the demand for faster innovation and more sustainable products. At the same time, consumer loyalty is harder to earn, and expectations for customization and transparency are rising. In response to this, CPG companies are moving away from small-scale technology pilots and investing in solutions that deliver measurable results across the organization. The combination of workforce training, better use of data, and more adaptable systems is helping these manufacturers stay competitive while managing complexity. And as private-label brands expand and consumer expectations evolve, CPG leaders are prioritizing investments that help them compete more effectively in a crowded and fast-changing market. Notable Key Trends from 2024 to 2025: Rising Competition Leads Industry Concerns: In 2024, economic uncertainty and inflation were main challenges noted in our annual survey. In 2025, competition has taken the lead, driven by increased market pressure from private-label products and changing consumer buying habits. Technology Needs to Work for People: Companies are focusing less on simply adopting new tools and more on making sure new technology fits their teams and operations. Usability and scalability are now critical factors in technological decisions. Capabilities CPG leaders are looking for in their workforce include: communications/teamwork (86%), adaptability/flexibility (85%), while analytical thinking and cybersecurity practices are tied (84%). AI and Robotics Lead Investment Priorities: At the heart of technology investment decisions is a shift in thinking. 70% of CPG manufacturers say they are investing in AI, robotics, and simulation technologies for long-term business growth. This is a shift from last year when technology supported more sales analytics and process optimization. More companies are using data effectively The number of manufacturers who say they are using their data to guide decision-making is up from 40% in 2024 to 44% in 2025. AI is playing a growing role in data utilization in key areas like quality control, logistics, and cybersecurity, scoring 5% above the general average. Workforce strategies are evolving While 2024 emphasized attracting skilled labor, the 2025 report shows 34% of manufacturers are concentrating more on training current employees on updated processes, while 33% of the focus is on managing change effectively and improving employee retention. "CPG manufacturers are no longer just reacting to disruption—they're proactively investing in technologies that deliver sustainable growth and competitive advantage," said Steve Deitzer, vice president, Global Industry, CPG, Rockwell Automation. "This year's report shows a clear pivot toward long-term thinking, where AI, automation, and workforce enablement are central to success." Scalability and integration are now central to how CPG leaders approach growth. By aligning technology, people and processes, companies are working to build more agile and efficient operations that can keep up with market changes. The 2025 State of Smart Manufacturing Report, based on insights from 174 CPG leaders across 15 countries, is part of Rockwell Automation's broader global research initiative surveying over 1,500 manufacturing decision-makers. The full findings of the report can be found here. About Rockwell Automation Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), is a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation. We connect the imaginations of people with the potential of technology to expand what is humanly possible, making the world more productive and more sustainable. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rockwell Automation employs approximately 27,000 problem solvers dedicated to our customers in more than 100 countries.
