Case Study
Industrial Copilot
Tackling workforce shortages and complexity with AI-powered shopfloor automation
Faced with a growing shortage of specialized automation engineers and increasing complexity on the shopfloor, a leading industrial company partnered with Siemens Advanta to explore how generative AI could transform automation. The result: an AI-powered Copilot that supports engineering, maintenance, and error handling - delivering a working demo in just ten weeks.
- Critical shortage of specialized and skilled automation programmers creates significant operational bottlenecks
- Manual automation programming is time-intensive and error-prone, leading to extended development cycles and increased project risks
Leveraging Generative AI to revolutionize industrial automation across the entire lifecycle:
- Industrial automation engineering – generation, optimization, debugging and troubleshooting, documentation of PLC codes
- Industrial automation maintenance – identification of error in an automation solution and provide suggestions on how to fix it
- Error reporting – change request addition to Teamcenter
Bringing Generative AI into industrial automation and operation via:
- Development acceleration and cost reduction through GenAI-assisted automation development and maintenance, enabling faster engineering delivery
- Productivity optimization on the shopfloor through GenAI-powered maintenance support and streamlined error handling
