At automatica, the leading trade show for
automation and robotics, Siemens is an-
nouncing plans to integrate its Operations
Copilot into driverless transport systems
and mobile robots. The Operations Copi-
lot is an industrial copilot for machine
operation and maintenance. As mobile
transport robots increasingly operate as
autonomous physical agents powered by
artificial intelligence (AI), the Operations
Copilot will serve as a user interface for
humans. Through this agent-based interfa-
ce, users will be able to configure autono-
mous mobile robots (AMRs) and automa-
ted guided vehicles (AGVs), assigning
them tasks like transporting materials and
goods across the shop floor. This is yet
another building block for automating au-
tomation in a factory with the help of ge-
nerative AI.
Operations Copilot will be
enhanced with agents for AMRs
and AGVs d
In a next step, Siemens plans to expand
the capabilities of the Operations Copilot
by introducing AI agents specifically deve-
loped for use with AMRs and AGVs. The-
se agents support both the commissio-
ning and operation of individual vehicles
and entire fleets. Commissioning in parti-
cular is a complex and time-intensive pro-
cess: AGVs need to be integrated into the
factory's existing IT and OT infrastructure
and configured for specific conditions like
routes and transfer stations. To streamline
this task, engineers can rely on the Ope-
rations Copilot: It leverages AGV sensors
and cameras to generate a detailed un-
derstanding of their environment. The
Operations Copilot can access all rele-
vant technical documentation of the in-
stalled components and retrieve real-time
system data through its agent interface.
This enables commissioning engineers
