Siemens Siemens Eigen Engineering Agent: The Era of Purpose-Driven AI in Industrial Automation

[Cengiz Özemli]

Siemens has launched Eigen Engineering Agent, an AI product specifically developed for industrial automation engineering. This new generation AI not only offers suggestions but also autonomously performs engineering tasks from start to finish with multi-step reasoning and self-correction capabilities.

Unlike traditional general AI systems, Eigen Engineering Agent operates within real engineering systems and can fully comprehend the context and constraints of each project. This enables it to automatically complete automation engineering tasks such as PLC coding, Human-Machine Interface (HMI) visualization, and device configuration, in compliance with accuracy, safety, and reliability standards.

As innovation cycles accelerate in the industry and the shortage of expert engineers persists, Eigen Engineering Agent allows engineers to focus on more complex system problems without compromising the accuracy and reliability of the work. It completes AI-powered workflows 2 to 5 times faster compared to manual methods, increasing solution quality by 80% and engineering efficiency by 50%.

### Eigen Engineering Agent Features

• Autonomous engineering task execution: PLC coding, HMI visualization, device configuration
• Operates with full understanding of project context and constraints
• Multi-step reasoning and self-correction mechanism
• Full integration with Siemens TIA Portal
• Compliance with standards: Guarantees accuracy, safety, reliability
• Increased speed and quality in use: 2-5 times faster, 80% higher quality solutions, 50% efficiency

Integrated into Siemens' TIA Portal platform, Eigen Engineering Agent analyzes data structures, blocks, parameters, and component relationships in each project to provide immediately applicable solutions. This ensures accurate results even in old or poorly documented systems.

This AI tool reduces the adaptation time for new engineers to projects from weeks to days. Engineers can directly access projects with their questions, and requests such as "Show me all blocks controlling station 3" are answered instantly and accurately.

Eigen Engineering Agent first verifies all its outputs, executes complex tasks step by step, evaluates its own performance according to project requirements, and performs necessary iterations to prepare the work for engineer review. This approach creates a significant difference in developing customer-specific automation logic compared to the broad suggestions offered by general AI systems.

### Customer Experiences

• US-based Prism Systems increased efficiency by reducing the process of creating, modifying, and importing SCL code to seconds.
• Chinese CASMT accelerated time-to-market by automating device configuration, code generation, and HMI visualization in production line setup for new energy vehicles.
• ANDRITZ Metals accelerated industrial automation software development by increasing speed and accuracy in coding, documentation, and troubleshooting processes within TIA Portal.

With Eigen Engineering Agent, Siemens signals a shift in automation engineering "from AI that offers suggestions to AI that completes the job." This technology enables faster development of complex systems and allows engineers to focus on high-value tasks.
