Schneider Electric has introduced a cutting-edge industrial copilot, crafted in partnership with Microsoft. This initiative merges Azure AI Foundry with Schneider’s industrial automation expertise, aiming to boost supply chain efficiency amidst a landscape riddled with labour shortages and demands for heightened productivity.
Housed within Schneider’s newly released EcoStruxure Automation Expert Platform, the AI assistant targets the reduction of repetitive tasks and aids in streamlining application development.
According to Schneider, these functionalities are designed to quicken system deployment by engineers and operators while tuning them for enduring operational excellence.
“We are at a pivotal moment where industry must achieve unprecedented levels of flexibility and efficiency with Gen AI,” says Aurelien LeSant, chief technology officer for Schneider’s industrial automation division.
“Our copilot, developed in collaboration with Microsoft and leveraging our deep domain expertise, is designed to improve industrial competitiveness by boosting worker confidence, simplifying processes and bridging skills gaps.”
Strengthening supply chain through enhanced automation
This innovative copilot is built on the robust foundation of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Automation Expert platform. Touted as the world’s first software-defined open automation solution, this platform forms the backbone required to implement Gen AI capabilities within industrial settings.
The dependability of systems remains crucial in these environments, where enhanced automation can significantly aid in achieving operational objectives.
