Siemens to Introduce Generative AI in Industrial Copilot

Siemens is making waves in the engineering industry with the launch of its first generative AI-powered product designed specifically for industrial environments. The Siemens Industrial Copilot, developed in collaboration with Microsoft, is set to revolutionize the way automation code is generated, ultimately leading to reduced development times and increased productivity.

The Industrial Copilot leverages cutting-edge generative AI technology to streamline the process of creating complex automation code. By seamlessly integrating with the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal, engineering teams can now access a wealth of resources to expedite their tasks, from finding help topics to generating code for programmable logic controllers (PLC) in a more efficient manner.

One of the key advantages of the Siemens Industrial Copilot is its ability to significantly reduce the workload of engineers by automating repetitive tasks and minimizing the risk of errors in complex engineering processes. This not only enhances the overall quality of work but also paves the way for long-term improvements in productivity.

For companies like the Grenzebach Group, an early adopter of the Siemens Industrial Copilot, the benefits of generative AI in industrial automation are already becoming apparent. By harnessing the power of AI, engineers can save time, reduce effort, and enhance the accuracy of their work, ultimately leading to a more streamlined and efficient engineering process.

Looking ahead, Siemens is set to release the Industrial Copilot for TIA Portal Engineering on the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace in the summer of 2024. This innovative product combines automation and process simulation data from Siemens Xcelerator with Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, offering a comprehensive solution for optimizing code creation in factory automation software.
