Genix Copilot lets shop-floor engineers scan a QR code on an analyzer to have AI agents pull real-time data and maintenance logs and suggest a fix, cutting troubleshooting time by 60-80%. Across ABB's customer base, Genix has improved reliability of critical assets by up to 20% and reduced unplanned downtime by up to 60%. Customer Birla Opus Paints used Genix to raise its \"Right First Time\" production rate from 40-45% to over 80% in its first year and cut root-cause analysis time from a week to an hour.","company":"ABB","industry":"Manufacturing","country":"Switzerland","aiCapabilities":["Agentic AI","Predictive Analytics"],"businessFunctions":["Manufacturing & Production","Supply Chain & Logistics"],"technology":["Microsoft Azure","Azure AI Foundry Agent Service","ABB Genix Industrial IoT and AI Suite"],"deployment":"Public Cloud","problemStatement":"ABB needed to help industrial clients overcome aging assets, siloed data, and workforce gaps, all while meeting growing demands for reliability and sustainability; traditional systems left critical data siloed, making it difficult for everyone from shop-floor engineers to executives to get the actionable insights needed for quick, informed responses.","solutionApproach":"ABB built its Genix Industrial IoT and AI Suite on Microsoft Azure and Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, integrating operational, engineering and IT data into a multi-agent architecture that lets AI agents autonomously execute complex workflows across assets, operations, supply chain, energy and emission management; Genix Copilot enables natural-language interaction with enterprise data for shop-floor engineers, functional specialists and executives alike.","businessValue":"Using Genix, ABB customers have seen up to 20% improvement in reliability of critical assets and reduced unplanned downtime by up to 60%, with troubleshooting time cut by 60-80%; customer Birla Opus Paints raised its \"Right First Time\" production rate from 40% to 45% to over 80% in its first year and cut root-cause analysis time from a week to an hour.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.microsoft.com/en/customers/story/25697-abb-azure","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-10-05T05:48:24.617Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-10-05T05:48:24.617Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/abb-leads-shift-to-autonomous-operations-with-genix-industrial-ai-platform-on-azure.
