Siemens is highlighting its progress toward autonomous production at SPS 2025 with the introduction of its Engineering Copilot TIA, a generative AI–powered assistant designed to automate engineering workflows within the TIA Portal. The Copilot allows automation engineers to issue natural language commands that the system converts into project elements, enabling tasks such as code generation, testing, visualization development, localization, hardware configuration, and workflow automation. Unlike conventional systems that offer only recommendations, the Copilot autonomously executes engineering steps, reducing manual work and allowing engineers to focus on high-value tasks.
The beta version is delivered as a managed service and integrates with TIA Portal versions 19 and 20. Pilot customers, including machinery manufacturer F. Zimmermann, report gains in engineering efficiency, quality, and machine development speed through AI-supported operations.
At SPS 2025, Siemens will demonstrate how these capabilities extend to fully automated production workflows. With increasing market competition, Siemens positions the Engineering Copilot TIA as part of a broader shift toward intelligent automation, supporting industrial customers in achieving faster development cycles and more efficient engineering processes. The company plans to expand beta deployments to additional pilot users as part of its ongoing development.
