Siemens has introduced the Eigen Engineering Agent, an AI system designed to plan and validate automation engineering tasks in operational environments. The system uses multi-step reasoning and self-correction to carry out tasks autonomously and operates directly inside engineering platforms, letting it to complete workflows from initial design through to validation. Autonomous engineering workflows The agent is designed to interpret project requirements, generate automation code, configure industrial systems, and refine outputs until predefined performance targets are achieved. This includes tasks like programmable logic controller (PLC) programming, human-machine interface (HMI) setup, and device configuration. It is built to meet industrial requirements for correctness and reliability during execution. The system connects to Siemens’ Totally Integrated Automation Engineering platform, TIA Portal, letting it access project-specific data like structures and component relationships.…
