ABB is working with Microsoft to integrate generative AI capabilities into industrial digital solutions for safer, smarter and more sustainable operations.
The purpose of this collaboration is to introduce Copilot functionality to enable a more intuitive user interaction with ABB Skill Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite and its applications, further enhancing the value of contextualized data and increasing efficiency. and to improve sustainability.
ABB leverages Microsoft Azure OpenAI service to complement ABB Skill Genix
ABB extends its long-standing partnership to work with Microsoft to integrate Azure OpenAI services into the ABB Abability Genix Industrial Analytics and AI suite. The two companies will work together to implement generative AI technology to help industrial customers uncover hidden insights in their operational data. Improved data collection and restoration significantly improve efficiency and productivity, asset reliability, operational safety, reduced energy consumption, and environmental impact.
ABB integrates generative AI, including large-scale language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, into its Genix platform and applications through its Azure OpenAI service, enabling capabilities such as code, image and text generation. When launched, Genix Copilot, a new application, provides intuitive functionality and improves the user experience by streamlining the flow of contextualized data across processes and operations. This gives industry executives, functional specialists, and shop floor engineers real-time, actionable insights that help them make better decisions and improve productivity. Such insights can potentially extend asset life by up to 20% and minimize unplanned downtime by up to 60%.
Additionally, the solution has the ability to help customers achieve their sustainability and energy transition goals by providing advanced monitoring and optimization insights on industrial greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage. I have it.
With Genix Copilot, you can focus on protecting data and knowledge within your enterprise, while also capturing operator knowledge and facilitating collaborative decision-making across roles.
