Manufacturing Copilot
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.
Manufacturing Copilot features
Each 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 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.

What are the phases of development for Manufacturing Copilot?
- Initially, generative AI will assist in component design by interpreting prompts to allow contextual queries and offer suggestions based on in-house product knowledge bases.
- Next, the Manufacturing Copilot 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 and allow time for the employees to have more time for creativity and value creation.
