Siemens Siemens' Purpose-Built AI for Industrial Automation: Eigen Engineering Agent

[Cengiz Özemli]

Siemens has launched Eigen Engineering Agent, an AI solution specifically designed for industrial automation engineering. This AI tool no longer just offers suggestions; it can now autonomously complete engineering tasks from start to finish with multi-step reasoning and self-correction capabilities.

Unlike general AI, Eigen Engineering Agent operates within real engineering systems and fully understands the context and constraints of each project. This enables it to perform automation engineering tasks such as PLC coding, Human-Machine Interface (HMI) visualization, and device configuration with accuracy, safety, and adherence to industrial standards.

### Key Advantages of Eigen Engineering Agent

• Optimizes workforce by allowing engineers to focus on more complex system problems
• Offers AI-supported workflows 2 to 5 times faster compared to manual tasks
• Provides up to 80% higher solution quality
• Achieves 50% greater engineering efficiency

### Verified Automation Logic in Project Context
Eigen Engineering Agent works integrated with Siemens’ TIA Portal platform, providing full access to each project's structure, data relationships, and parameters. This allows it to generate ready-to-use, customized solutions for engineers. It delivers clear results even in complex or undocumented systems.

This contextual understanding also enables new engineers to adapt quickly to projects; the learning process, which previously took weeks, is now reduced to days. Furthermore, AI-generated outputs are self-validated, and repetitions are performed to minimize the risk of errors.

### Real-World Use Cases from Industry Leaders

• US-based Prism Systems reduced its SCL coding process to seconds.
• Chinese CASMT accelerated production line processes for new energy vehicles.
• ANDRITZ Metals made automation and control software development within TIA Portal fast and targeted.

### Siemens and the Industrial AI Vision
Eigen Engineering Agent is positioned as a continuous and reliable solution built on Siemens’ industrial heritage, where AI complements real business processes. With this technology, Siemens aims to significantly reduce repetitive tasks and increase efficiency in automation engineering.
