Why Engineering Copilot TIA Standard?

The Engineering Copilot TIA is a genAI-powered assistant for engineering within the TIA Portal. It generates PLC code, test cases, HMI visualizations, JavaScript code, drive configurations and provides quick answers to your engineering questions.

  • Reduced errors: Automated code generation minimizes potential bugs, leading to more reliable automation systems
  • Enhanced understanding: The ability to explain code helps in training engineers
  • Increased efficiency: Engineers can focus on more critical tasks, enhancing overall productivity

Key benefits

Tackling the shortage of skilled workers 

The growing lack of skilled automation engineers makes efficient work processes essential. The new standard enhances productivity and quality while lowering error risk in complex engineering ensuring long-term success.

Game-changer for short innovation cycles 

Ever-shorter innovation cycles increase time-pressures in engineering. With faster, automated code generation and streamlined panel visualization, development times are significantly reduced saving valuable time.

From repetitive tasks to high-value work 

Automation engineers spend a significant amount of time on repetitive tasks, limiting efficiency. Generative AI reduces the workload by automating these tasks, allowing engineers to focus on more high-impact work.
