Intelligent Infrastructure

Samsung is expanding its agentic AI strategy beyond consumer devices and into intelligent infrastructure, extending its leadership from mobile innovation to AI-powered manufacturing and connected health.

Through its AI-Driven Factories initiative, Samsung is accelerating its evolution toward autonomous manufacturing powered by AI. Building on its plan to transition global manufacturing operations into AI-Driven Factories by 2030, Samsung is demonstrating how AI agents, digital twin simulations and real-time data analysis can work together to optimize production, strengthen quality control and enhance operational resilience.

Samsung will also showcases its Connected Care vision, strengthened by Xealth following its acquisition in 2025. By integrating health metrics across the Galaxy ecosystem, Samsung is enhancing Samsung Health capabilities to enable more proactive, personalized and continuous health management. At the clinical level, Xealth enables health systems to integrate digital health tools, care programs and patient data directly into physician workflows across a network of hundreds of hospitals and vendors — allowing clinicians to prescribe, monitor and manage digital care in ways that align with real-world patient needs.

Next-Generation Leadership and Innovation

Reinforcing its design heritage, Samsung is presenting a forward-looking vision for next-generation form factors and emerging technologies, underscoring its long-term commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation. Through exclusive, hands-on experiences with Galaxy XR and Galaxy TriFold, visitors will see how Samsung continues to lead the industry into the mobile AI era.

The company is also highlighting the Galaxy Foundation, emphasizing its commitment to privacy, security, sustainability and responsible development — including advancements in Samsung Knox and hardware-based protective technology.

Expanding Satellite Connectivity Through Regional Partnerships

Visitors can explore these groundbreaking AI innovations firsthand at Samsung’s Galaxy Experience Booth in Hall 3 at Fira Gran Via from March 2-5.

Networks Business’ AI Vision: Bringing AI Into Every Layer of the Network

Building on the company’s AI leadership across various business portfolios, Samsung is leading the charge in end-to-end software-driven networks. By providing a flexible foundation that seamlessly accommodates high-performance computing platforms (CPUs and GPUs) from leading ecosystem partners, Samsung enables operators to rapidly deploy AI-driven capabilities and scale innovative services. This software-centric approach not only optimizes network efficiency and performance but also empowers operators to transform their existing infrastructure into a powerful engine for AI innovation.

Samsung is accelerating the transition toward networks that are fully autonomous by 2027. Central to this vision is Samsung CognitiV Network Operations Suite (NOS), a set of diverse AI-powered network automation solutions featuring Agent Fabric. As a unified, decision intelligence layer, Agent Fabric enables multi-agent systems where specialized AI agents work independently or collectively based on their reasoning. These agents streamline the entire network lifecycle — from planning and installation to maintenance, troubleshooting, optimization and user experience management, and live demonstrations of multi-agent systems will be presented at the event.

Samsung will also unveil the power and potential of “Network in a Server,” its software-driven, next-gen edge AI solution, opening up new business opportunities for enterprises. By consolidating multiple network functions into a single server powered by the latest processors, enterprises can easily adopt AI services, such as safety monitoring and AR overlays, which require local processing for real-time responsiveness.

The Samsung Networks booth is located in Hall 2, Stand 2M20 and is accessible by invitation only.
