As part of their collaboration, the companies plan to launch AI-powered co-pilots for industries like manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation and healthcare.
German technology company Siemens AG has partnered with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) will introduce Siemens Industrial Copilot, a generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered assistant. AI assistants are designed to enhance human-machine collaboration and boost productivity in manufacturing. The companies will continue to work together to create AI co-pilots for use in the manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation, and health care industries.
“Together with Microsoft, our shared vision is to empower customers with the adoption of generic AI,” says Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens AG. “It has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, build and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation, and combat skilled labor shortages.
Promoting human-machine collaboration
as of tuesday Announcement, Siemens Industrial CoPilot will enable users in industrial sectors to generate, optimize and debug complex automation code in record time. The tool will also significantly reduce simulation time, bringing tasks that previously took weeks to complete in minutes. Maintenance staff will be able to receive detailed repair instructions while engineers will have instant access to simulation tools.
Siemens Industrial Copilot inputs automation and process information from Siemens’ open digital business platform, Siemens Accelerator, and enhances it with Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service. The companies assured users that they will retain full control over their data as it will not be used to train Co-Pilot’s underlying AI models.
Multi-industry co-pilot and virtual collaboration coming soon
As part of their collaboration, the companies plan to launch AI-powered co-pilots for industries like manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation and healthcare. Particularly in the manufacturing industry, co-pilot is already planned for sectors such as automotive, consumer packaged goods and machine manufacturing.
German automotive manufacturer Schaeffler AG is an early adopter of AI technology and is using it to generate reliable code for programming industrial automation systems such as robots. The company plans to use Siemens Industrial CoPilot in its operations to reduce future downtime and for its customers.
Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler Group, commented:
“With this joint pilot, we are stepping into a new era of productivity and innovation. This Siemens Industrial Copilot will help our team work more efficiently, reduce repetitive tasks, and unleash creativity. We are excited to partner with Siemens and Microsoft on this project.
Microsoft has also revealed that Teamcenter for Microsoft Teams will be generally available starting in December 2023. The new app harnesses the power of AI to enhance virtual collaboration between teams in product design and manufacturing. It connects Siemens’ Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management with Microsoft’s Teams platform to make data more accessible to factory and field service workers.
