On Wednesday, Microsoft Corporation and Siemens launched new artificial intelligence (AI) models for modernization across industries.
The tech giant and the automation company aim to provide advanced technologies to sectors still relying on traditional methods and tools.
More specifically, the specialized AI models are created to resolve particular challenges in agriculture, manufacturing, and financial services.
In line with this, the latest Microsoft partnership is centered around Siemens’ NX X software to simplify tasks and downsize human error. Correspondingly, this underscores the trend of using smart technology to enhance daily operations instead of long-term applications.
Additionally, the offerings of the two companies could immensely lessen the onboarding time for new users.
Moreover, the Azure AI catalog of the Windows maker already offers the purpose-built models. It also emphasizes the corporation’s objective of developing tools designed to address the needs of various sectors.
According to Corporate Vice President of Business & Industry Solutions Satish Thomas, this will help workers on the factory floor. He added that Microsoft is fit to deliver the solutions through its Cloud, expertise, and global partners.
In connection, Thomas also emphasized that these models will handle key industry use cases.
Furthermore, apart from Siemens, Microsoft collaborated with Bayer, Rockwell Automation, and other big techs for the AI project.
