In addition, the launch of the integration between Siemens Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management and Microsoft Teams will further pave the way to enabling the industrial metaverse. 

It will simplify the virtual collaboration of design engineers, frontline workers, and other teams across business functions.

Siemens Industrial Copilot will allow users to rapidly generate, optimize, and debug complex automation code and significantly shorten simulation times. 

This will reduce a task that previously took weeks to minutes. The copilot ingests automation and process simulation information from Siemens' open digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator, and enhances it with Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service. 

The companies envision AI copilots assisting professionals in various industries, including manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare. 

Schaeffler AG, a leading automotive supplier, is among the first in the automotive industry to embrace generative AI in the engineering phase.
