AI for manufacturing
Sandvik AI is making manufacturing knowledge more accessible. We want to support unleashing human creativity at every stage of the process, from design to finished product, and reduce barriers between each process.
Simplifying manufacturing with Sandvik AI
We are on a journey to make manufacturing more efficient and sustainable by supporting increased automation and digitalization on the shop floor. The Manufacturing Copilots (Sandvik AI) will enable a shift in the user experience with seamless access to knowledge, which is not broadly accessible today, simplifying the user-experience.
Press release
Sandvik launches Artificial Intelligence in CAM software together with Microsoft​
Sandvik launches AI in the manufacturing software in alliance with Microsoft. Manufacturing Copilots will be available when the next versions of the CAD/CAM software Cimatron, GibbsCAM and SigmaNEST are released in September.
Sandvik AI Manufacturing Copilot features
Each Sandvik AI Copilot has been trained on proprietary knowledge, unique to each brand, such as product knowledge base, and prompt optimized during 12 months. The Copilots will be further trained on technical support continuously and eventually connect with each other to bring even more intelligence to the shop floor.
- Initially, generative Sandvik AI will assist in component design by interpreting prompts to allow contextual queries and offer suggestions
- Next, it will evolve into an intelligent user experience that cooperatively optimizes and verifies processes by intelligent integration with our products.
- After that, we envision use of alternative choice to use voice and command line interface driven manufacturing.
