With nearly 130,000 global business and government leaders in attendance, Hannover Messe is the event to showcase innovation in the manufacturing industry. This year, together with our partners and customers, Microsoft showcased how our technology is enabling manufacturers to “Accelerate Industrial Transformation with AI.”
Microsoft and our partners are investing in industry-specific capabilities to help customers adopt revolutionary AI solutions faster like copilot templates to create AI assistants for high value scenarios and industry data solutions that provide a data and analytics foundation to ensure your data is AI ready.
Microsoft helps partners benefit from its unified data estate platform to create personalized, role-specific AI that can empower customers with meaningful and relevant experiences.
During this wave, we’ve invested heavily in the development of copilot templates to enhance capabilities and integration across various industries. These customizable templates offer improved operational efficiency, enhanced customer engagement, and seamless integration with existing technology, all while supporting a diverse, global customer base.
The integration of Microsoft Copilot into Dynamic 365 Guides brings generative AI to this mixed reality solution. Copilot for Dynamics 365 Guides transforms frontline operations, putting AI in the flow of work, giving skilled and knowledge workers access to relevant information where and when they need it.
We are announcing the private preview of manufacturing data solutions in Fabric and copilot template for factory operations on Azure AI, under the Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing. These solutions help manufacturers unify their OT and IT data estate and accelerate and scale data transformation for AI on Fabric, our end-to-end analytics SaaS based platform.
Manufacturing is an industry known for generating data from a wide variety of sources. From machines and sensors to enterprise systems and human interactions, companies create massive amounts of siloed data that remains an untapped resource, limiting the potential for data-driven advancements and agility. Data fragmentation created by proprietary formats and lack of interoperability makes it difficult to achieve cross-domain applications of data.
Microsoft commissioned a research report in collaboration with MIT Technology Review Insights to uncover the state of AI adoption, expectations, and challenges to scaling AI in the manufacturing industry.
There’s much to explore on this topic—that is why we developed A New Era of Industrial Transformation. This series, featuring analysts from Forrester, digs into the changing face of manufacturing, examining the related trends, use cases, and technology leading the way.
During CES 2024, our customers and partners shared with us their incredibly exciting AI journeys. While we see companies at various stages of AI maturity, they all have one thing in common—they are all looking for cost-effective ways to harness the power of AI to drive value faster in their own businesses.
In 2024, we are adding four new reference architectures to our industry portfolio. These new resources help our partner ecosystem support their customers in driving the future of mobility across research and development, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, marketing, sales, and aftersales.
The manufacturing industry is under a lot of pressure to advance sustainability commitments, with enormous challenges given modern lengthy, complex, and geographically diverse production operations and supply chains. Let’s take a look at one of the key sustainability strategies: decarbonization, and what it means for the manufacturing industry.
Each year at Microsoft Ignite we announce new technologies and innovations designed to bring value to your business. This year in particular there’s a lot of exciting developments for the manufacturing industry, so manufacturers can leverage the best of Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing to accelerate their transformation.
