Siemens Industrial Copilot uses Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service, combined with Siemens’ industrial expertise and data from its Xcelerator platform, to quickly generate, optimize and debug complex automated code through natural language interactions. The companies say this can reduce some tasks that take weeks to minutes, such as simulation processes.

IT House notes that Copilot also promises to improve efficiency across the entire industrial lifecycle by providing repair guidance to repair crews, as well as quick simulation access for engineers. The automotive manufacturer Schaeffler Group will be one of the first to adopt the product, which will generate reliable robot programming code for its engineers.
