Siemens and Microsoft collaborate to use artificial intelligence to boost productivity

Siemens and Microsoft launched a cooperation on Tuesday to harness artificial intelligence to boost productivity and human-machine communication.

 

Under the Siemens Industrial Copilot program, the two businesses will collaborate to employ generative AI in the manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare industries.

 

Siemens announced that Schaeffler AG, a German automotive supplier, has implemented the Siemens Industrial Copilot.

 

There was no mention of any payment sums associated with the arrangement, which will also supply Siemens.

 

The initiative will develop AI copilots to help customers' personnel design new goods and organize manufacturing and maintenance.

It analyzes data obtained by Siemens and assists clients in swiftly creating, improving, and debugging complicated automation programs, as well as shortening simulation times at their factories and other facilities.

 

Schaeffler has used generative AI to assist its engineers in programming industrial automation systems such as robots. It plans to deploy the Siemens Industrial Copilot to decrease downtime in its factories.

Siemens claims that tasks that formerly took weeks to accomplish may now be performed in a matter of minutes.

 

"This has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate," Siemens CEO Roland Busch stated.

 

"Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation and tackle skilled labour shortages."
