Sandvik Launches Artificial Intelligence in CAM Software Together with Microsoft
Sandvik launches AI in the manufacturing software in alliance with Microsoft. A Manufacturing Copilot will be available when the next versions of the CAD/CAM software Cimatron, GibbsCAM and SigmaNEST are released in September.
The Manufacturing Copilot will enable a shift in the user experience with seamless access to knowledge, which is not broadly accessible today, simplifying the user-experience. 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.
The Manufacturing Copilot is developed in collaboration with Microsoft Azure cloud and AI services. This will provide customers a simple and more accessible experience with 24/7 intelligent customer assistance. The Copilot offers real-time updates and enables informed choices. This is the first step in the AI roadmap to enhance the customer experience.
The functionality will be available in September in connection to the next versions of the market leading CAD/CAM solutions: Cimatron for die and mold, GibbsCAM for advanced machining and SigmaNEST for sheet metal fabrication. Sandvik plans to integrate the Manufacturing Copilot gradually into more manufacturing software in the portfolio, also within metrology, enabling AI for its 400 000 users globally.
