ABB launches Genix Copilot, built with Microsoft on Azure OpenAI: the assistant combines real-time operations data to produce alerts, forecasts and recommendations on asset health.

What changes

Conversational assistant built on models such as GPT-4, tailored to industrial use cases.
It uses shop floor data, enterprise systems and unstructured documents.
Role-based experience, from plant manager to maintenance technician.
A dedicated Asset Performance Management (APM) module targets predictive maintenance.

### Background On 11 December 2024, ABB launches **ABB Ability Genix Copilot**, a generative AI solution developed through its collaboration with Microsoft (Azure OpenAI Service). Where classic text assistants only handle documents, Genix Copilot relies on real production data to suggest concrete actions. ### Key facts - Language models such as GPT-4, customized for industry. - Combined sources: shop floor operations, operator conversations, enterprise systems, unstructured data and metadata. - Conversational interface: asset health, performance, fault analysis, daily plant event summary, work order status. - **Genix APM Copilot** for maintenance teams in asset-intensive industries. - ABB announces significant savings in operations and maintenance, with no published figure (vendor estimate). ### Why it matters The target is not the design office but operations: energy, utilities, process. The copilot plugs into the existing industrial data layer (Genix) and focuses on maintenance, root-cause analysis and passing on experienced operators' knowledge. ### Takeaway Alongside Siemens, ABB establishes in 2024 the "industrial copilot on Azure" model; in 2026, ABB connects Genix to NVIDIA Omniverse libraries for root-cause analysis agents.
