Siemens and Microsoft have launched a collaborative endeavor to
employ artificial intelligence to boost productivity and
human-machine communication.
"We're building on our longstanding collaboration with Siemens and bringing together AI advances across the Microsoft Cloud with Siemens' industrial domain expertise to empower both frontline and knowledge workers with new, AI-powered tools, starting with Siemens Industrial Copilot," Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft, said.
Siemens Industrial Copilot will allow users to rapidly generate, optimise and debug complex automation code, and significantly shorten simulation times, reducing a task that previously took weeks to minutes, as per economic times.
"This has the potential to revolutionise the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation and tackle skilled labour shortages," said Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens AG.
Furthermore, the corporations see AI copilots aiding experts in a variety of areas, such as manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare. Numerous copilots are already in the works in industries such as automotive, consumer packaged products, and machine construction. According to the firm, Schaeffler AG, a
leading automotive supplier, is an early adopter of Siemens Industrial Copilot.
The Siemens Teamcenter app for Microsoft Teams will be publicly available in December 2023,
accelerating innovation across the product lifecycle. This innovative program connects tasks across the product design and production lifecycle, such as frontline workers to engineering teams, using the most recent breakthroughs in generative AI.
