See how Autonomous Unified Commerce helps organizations respond faster when demand shifts, operations tighten, and customer commitments are on the line.
At SAP Sapphire 2026, SAP showcased how autonomous, unified commerce can connect intelligent buying moments with operational execution at scale. In this demo, demand for event kits surges just days before SAP Sapphire, creating a packing bottleneck and putting outbound deliveries at risk.
When SAP Logistics Management flags a delay risk, the logistics clerk consults Joule for a mitigation plan. Joule analyzes warehouse priorities, backlog, and resource allocation in real time, then recommends reassigning an autonomous robot from inbound putaway to outbound event kit packaging. With human approval, Joule triggers an SAP Embodied AI Agent, which translates delivery requirements and warehouse context into robot tasks prioritized by urgency and business impact.
Through SAP Business Technology Platform and the Cyberwave platform, robotic automation integrates into existing SAP workflows. The result is a closed loop from risk detection to execution — helping stabilize throughput, reduce backlog, and keep deliveries on track during peak demand.
This is Autonomous Unified Commerce in action: connected commerce, logistics, warehouse operations, AI agents, and robotics working together to help organizations deliver faster, more reliable customer experiences.

Engineering Quality in a Fast-Moving Open Source Project: WPE WebKit – Mario Sanchez-Prada, Igalia
Building an embedded product on top of a large Open Source codebase like WPE WebKit is only the first step. The real challenge is keeping its quality stable as thousands of lines evolve and hundreds of changes land every week across multiple platforms.
In such an environment, errors and regressions are inevitable. What matters is detecting them quickly, understanding their impact, and reacting before they propagate further. This talk focuses on the engineering work that makes this possible, an effort that is essential yet often invisible.
Using WPE WebKit as a case study, we will explore how quality becomes a continuous engineering effort rather than a final validation phase and how CI and QA infrastructure, testing strategies, and processes (e.g. stabilization windows) sustain upstream development while supporting downstream deployments. We will show how these feedback loops reinforce each other and why aligning upstream and downstream processes is critical to keep quality stable over time.
This talk targets engineers, maintainers, and technical leaders working on large Open Source projects, as well as teams building products on top of them who need to sustain quality at scale.
