Siemens Unleashes AI for Automation

Siemens introduces AI agents for industrial automation. This innovation aims to automate automation itself. Their architecture features Industrial Copilots for user interaction. Behind them, powerful AI agents operate. Moreover, Siemens develops digital and integrates physical agents. Mobile robots are part of this integration. Consequently, a comprehensive multi-AI-agent system emerges. These agents are highly connected and collaborative. Siemens orchestrates these agents with a broad ecosystem. These agents work with Siemens and third-party agents. This enables unprecedented interoperability.

Marketplace for Industrial AI Agents

Siemens plans an industrial AI agent marketplace hub. It will reside on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace. Customers gain access to Siemens' and third-party AI agents. This will accelerate adoption and foster innovation.

The Comprehensive Industrial Copilot

The Siemens Industrial Copilot uses Industrial AI agents. It addresses every phase of the industrial value chain. This includes both process and discrete industries.

Design Copilot Enhances Creativity

The Design Copilot is available for NX CAD. It helps users achieve new creative heights. It accelerates the product design process. Design engineers navigate complex data efficiently. They balance trade-offs and perform multi-domain tasks faster. The AI assistant understands natural language questions. It provides quick access to technical insights. This streamlines complex design tasks. Ultimately, it leads to significant efficiency gains. Siemens is also developing a Hydrogen Configurator. Users can generate precise plant layouts easily.

Planning Copilot Optimizes Production

The Planning Copilot is in pre-release. Customer testimonials are already available. This solution optimizes production planning. It also improves resource allocation and scheduling. Generative AI-powered insights are key. Manufacturers can maximize efficiency and minimize waste.

Engineering Copilot Simplifies Tasks

The Engineering Copilot is available for TIA Portal. A Managed Service is coming in 2025. It enables engineering without repetitive tasks. It generates automation code from natural language. This speeds up SCL code generation. It also minimizes errors. The P&ID Digitalization copilot helps process industries. It digitalizes legacy P&ID diagrams. Several customers have already tested it.

Operations Copilot Provides Holistic Insights

The Operations Copilot is available for Insights Hub. It provides holistic plant insights. Siemens plans a machine-level Operations Copilot by end of 2025. This empowers shop floor workers. Service technicians and maintenance engineers benefit too. They can query machine data easily. They receive error resolution guidance via natural language. Implementing it at the machine level is simple. It provides machine instructions and operator guidance. Simatic eaSie assists process industries. Technicians access plant data via chat or voice. This makes operations and maintenance safer.

Services Copilot Improves Maintenance

The Maintenance Copilot Senseye aids maintenance teams. It provides expert equipment diagnostics. No specialized knowledge is needed. It now covers the entire maintenance lifecycle. This includes reactive, predictive, and preventive strategies. Pilot implementations show a 25% reduction in reactive maintenance time.

Addressing the Manufacturing Skills Gap

The Siemens Industrial Copilot delivers measurable results. This is evident in Siemens' and customer plants globally. At thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering, engineers report better code quality. They also see faster development speed. At Siemens’ Bad Neustadt site, the Insights Hub Production Copilot transformed operations. It turns scattered data into actionable insights.

Brehm states that Industrial AI agents connect different copilots. They automate workflows across the value chain. This creates a unified approach. It makes industrial AI accessible to everyone. This is regardless of their technical background. He envisions AI agents working seamlessly with humans. They handle routine processes independently. This allows humans to focus on innovation. Creativity and complex problem-solving become the priority.
