Microsoft Software Solutions Accelerate Data Transformation for AI

Microsoft showcases AI and data solutions to help manufacturers unlock innovation, enable intelligent factories, optimize operations and enhance employee productivity.

Microsoft Fabric — and copilot template for factory operations on Azure AI —are designed to help manufacturers unify their operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) data estate and accelerate and scale data transformation for AI. Fabric is an end-to-end analytics SaaS-based platform. The copilot template for factory operations helps manufacturers to create their own copilots for front-line workers utilize unified data. Frontline employees can use natural language to query the data for knowledge discovery, training, issue resolution, asset maintenance and more. For example, if a factory plant manager wants to understand why a machine is breaking, they can query the copilot to get insights and resolve the issue in days, according to Microsoft.

These new industry innovations in data and AI are strengthened through the Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing, which enables organizations to accelerate their data and AI journey by augmenting the Microsoft Cloud with industry relevant data solutions, application templates and AI services. The Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing brings together Microsoft and its partners to jointly accelerate the digital transformation in manufacturing.
