IRIS Foundry · Industrial Copilots

Ask your plant what happened, why, and what to do next

Industrial copilots give plant managers, engineers, and operators a natural-language way into plant data. Built on the Industrial LLM and your knowledge graph, each copilot is tailored to a role and turns questions into recommended actions, instead of sending people through dashboards, databases, and manuals.

Plant knowledge is spread across too many places

To answer a simple question, people search databases, read dashboards, and dig through manuals, or wait for a more experienced colleague. Each role needs different information, and an answer only helps if it arrives in time to act. Industrial copilots pull from the same contextualized data and respond in plain language, tailored to the role asking.

One conversation across data, documents, and decisions

Copilots draw on an industrial knowledge graph that connects events, sensor data, asset details, product documentation and manuals, and reliability and maintenance reports. Conventional, operational, and engineering data pass through data contextualization, predictive models, and the Industrial LLM before an answer reaches the user.

The copilots combine SymphonyAI's Industrial LLM with Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and work inside SymphonyAI industrial applications. Answers come back in plain language with a recommended next step, so teams start corrective and mitigating action right away.

From question to corrective action

Every copilot follows the same path: understand the question, find the evidence in your plant data, and recommend what to do.

Ask the way you would ask a colleague

Plant managers, engineers, and operators ask questions in plain language. Each copilot is tailored to a role, so a production manager and a reliability engineer each get answers shaped to their work.

Grounded in your plant knowledge graph

Answers draw on an industrial knowledge graph of events, sensor data, asset details, manuals, and reliability and maintenance reports. Copilots scan procedures and knowledge bases too, so guidance comes from your own documents.

Find the cause and what it costs

Anomalies trace to likely causes, with the KPI impact of underperforming assets and processes. What-if scenarios show how a scheduling change affects throughput and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) before the schedule changes.

Act inside the apps you already use

Copilots run inside SymphonyAI industrial applications and combine the Industrial LLM with Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service. Recommendations arrive where the work happens, so teams start corrective action right away.

Connected Worker Copilot

Frontline operators get workflow insights, procedure documentation, and inspection and quality support on demand, so new operators get up to speed faster.

Answers from your own documents

Ask how to fix a fault and get the steps from your own machine manuals and procedures, without long research or waiting for an experienced colleague.

Questions about industrial copilots

Straight answers for operations, engineering, and IT teams evaluating generative AI copilots for the plant.

What are industrial copilots?

Role-based generative AI assistants that answer questions in natural language using your contextualized plant data. They help plant managers, engineers, and operators understand what happened and why, anticipate what comes next, and start corrective action.

Which copilots are there?

The Plant Performance Copilot for reliability and maintenance engineers, the Digital Manufacturing Copilot for production managers, and the Connected Worker Copilot for frontline operators.

What data do they use?

An industrial knowledge graph that includes events, sensor data, asset details, product documentation and manuals, and reliability and maintenance reports, built from conventional, operational, and engineering data sources.

What model powers them?

SymphonyAI's Industrial LLM, together with Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, working from your industrial knowledge graph.

Where do people use them?

Inside SymphonyAI industrial applications. In Connected Worker, for example, the Connected Worker Copilot streamlines inspections, reduces rework, and cuts wasted resources for frontline workers.

How do copilots help new operators?

A continuously available digital agent gives frontline operators workflow insights, procedure documentation, and inspection and quality support, which speeds onboarding and shortens training.
