Eczacıbaşı Holding Scales 27 AI Agents Across Affiliates with Microsoft Copilot Studio

Eczacıbaşı Holding· TürkiyeMicrosoft Copilot Studio · Microsoft Foundry · Azure OpenAI in Foundry Models

Turkish industrial group Eczacıbaşı Holding launched 'Mission AI' to unify fragmented AI efforts across its affiliates, using Microsoft Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry. From 358 submitted ideas, 58 were developed with support from partner Mindworks, yielding 27 finalized agents including Sentra, which cut supplier-risk decision cycles from up to two weeks to under three days, and Maden360, which cut mining analytical processing time by over 90%. The 27 agents are projected to generate approximately €3.8 million in annual value and free nearly 5,000 hours of operational capacity per year.

The challenge

AI efforts at Eczacıbaşı Holding were siloed across its diversified affiliate portfolio, with fragmented tools, manual workflows and limited sharing of best practices, restricting enterprise-wide scale and impact.

The solution

Eczacıbaşı Holding launched "Mission AI" using Microsoft Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry, underpinned by Azure AI Services and Azure OpenAI in Foundry Models, to let business users across affiliates build AI agents; from 358 submitted ideas, 58 were developed into prototypes with support from Microsoft Solutions Partner Mindworks, producing 27 finalized agents including Sentra for supplier risk and Maden360 for mining operations.

ArcelorMittal Enhances Steel Production Through Digital Innovation

ArcelorMittal partnered with IBM Consulting and Infosys to modernize operations through AI, cloud technology and SAP S/4HANA migration. At ArcelorMittal Eisenhüttenstadt, machine learning was introduced to predict and prevent surface defects on automotive steel sheets. At the Hamburg wire rod plant, AI optimized the trimming process by analyzing historical production data to determine optimal cutting points, reducing trim scrap by 20% and contributing to energy savings and lower CO2 emissions. ArcelorMittal also deployed a bio-inspired Ant Colony Optimization algorithm to calculate optimal production schedules, reducing downtime and material waste. At AM/NS India, IBM Consulting used IBM Rapid Move for SAP S/4HANA to migrate data and applications from outdated platforms to a single SAP instance across locations in Dubai, Indonesia and India.

ABB Leads Shift to Autonomous Operations with Genix Industrial AI Platform on Azure

ABB built its Genix Industrial IoT and AI Suite on Microsoft Azure and Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, using a multi-agent architecture so AI agents can autonomously execute workflows across assets, operations, supply chain, energy, and emissions management. 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.
