Siemens & Microsoft release GPT-powered Industrial Copilot for the automation of the assembly line

Good news! Another industrial revolution in the making!

"... Siemens and Microsoft launched a joint pilot program of a GPT-powered model for controlling manufacturing machinery. German automotive parts manufacturer Schaeffler is testing the system in its factories, as is Siemens itself. 
How it works: Industrial Copilot (distinct from similarly named Microsoft products such as GitHub Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot) enables users to interact with software that drives industrial machines using natural language. ...
Given natural-language instructions, Industrial Copilot can write code for the programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that drive assembly lines. 
It can translate instructions written in other programming languages into PLC code, allowing developers to more easily build new software. It can also run simulations, for example, to check a machine’s performance in a new task without setting it in motion.
The system can troubleshoot malfunctioning machines. It identifies bug locations and suggests fixes, responding in natural language. ..."

Industrial Copilot that Siemens has developed with the help of Microsoft Chatbots with brains packed with artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize the jobs of programming and automation component diagnosis. The revolution is being started by the Industrial Copilot that Siemens has developed with the help of Microsoft: The copilot writes the programming code for machinery in factories and helps track down software bugs. The application is now being tested in practice ...
