PTC partners with Microsoft and Volkswagen Group
Summary
“By having Microsoft Azure AI in the Codebeamer software, it can assist us with creating new specifications and test cases,” said Robert Kattner, Head of IT Engineering at Volkswagen Group. “It will drive our productivity gains by reducing the time to import, review, and write requirements. In a nutshell, our engineers will do their work more efficiently.” Kevin Wrenn, Chief Product Officer of PTC, added his support: “We apply generative AI to help customers solve problems and capitalise on market opportunities, like the efficient development of software-defined vehicles. “Our collaboration with Volkswagen Group and Microsoft on Codebeamer Copilot gives us the best of both worlds: an industry-leading manufacturer in Volkswagen Group that demonstrates how these solutions apply in a real-world context, and a partner in Microsoft that is pushing the envelope on generative AI and bringing state-of-the-art technology to the market.” “The manufacturing sector holds tremendous opportunities for generative AI use cases, and we’re thrilled to support this collaboration with PTC and Volkswagen Group, both leaders in the industry,” concluded Dayan Rodriguez, Corporate Vice President, Manufacturing & Mobility, Microsoft. “Codebeamer Copilot is a meaningful example of how generative AI can make a longstanding, complex process like product development simpler and more efficient.” Codebeamer Copilot is expected to release as a beta to select PTC customers in early 2025.
