Thyssenkrupp bridges manufacturing skill gap with AI-powered copilots
thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering · Conversational assistants · Microsoft
Thyssenkrupp, a global manufacturing company, collaborated with Siemens and Microsoft to address a pressing shortage of skilled labor in their industrial engineering and operational processes. Through the adoption of Siemens Industrial Copilot, powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, thyssenkrupp enables both engineers and machine operators to interact with complex manufacturing machinery using natural language input—via text and, soon, voice. By integrating this copilot into their production workflow, they have accelerated programming, troubleshooting, and knowledge transfer. The solution allows even less experienced engineers to program machines, diagnose problems, and understand legacy code, significantly increasing efficiency and bridging generational knowledge gaps. The copilot securely leverages company-specific data in a private Azure cloud. With over 100 other manufacturers also piloting the copilot, the initiative is poised for global rollout.
