Engineering Copilot TIA is a generative AI-powered assistant that operates alongside this company’s TIA Portal software, enabling automation engineers to work smarter and faster by issuing natural language instructions that automatically generate and modify project elements. Delivered as a managed service, the beta version integrates seamlessly with TIA Portal versions 19 and 20, executing complex engineering tasks directly within the environment. Unlike traditional tools that merely offer suggestions, the Engineering Copilot TIA autonomously executes complex engineering tasks – automatically generating and modifying project elements, delegating time-consuming and repetitive work so engineers can focus on high-value activities. The Copilot offers a range of capabilities spanning code generation and testing, visualization development, project localization and workflow automation. Additionally, it provides configuration support for hardware and drives, as well as guidance and contextual assistance throughout the TIA Portal environment. Users can simply enable or disable these capabilities depending on their specific requirements. This company is currently testing the beta version together with pilot customers, for example the machinery manufacturer F. Zimmermann. — Siemens AG, Munich, Germany
