Streamline automation engineering

by
Siemens AG
Context

Siemens AG leveraged Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service to enhance their Siemens Industrial Copilot, an AI assistant for industrial automation engineering. The Copilot uses generative AI to automate repetitive tasks such as data management, sensor configuration, and reporting, helping engineers focus on complex, value-added work. Over 100 companies are using the Copilot to streamline processes, address labor shortages, and drive innovation. thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering plans to roll out the Copilot globally starting in 2025.

Results

Engineers can create panel visualizations in 30 seconds and generate code that requires only 20% adaptation, streamlining workflows and reducing manual effort.
