Description

Sandvik, a Swedish manufacturing technology company, built the Manufacturing Copilot using Azure OpenAI Service and Azure AI Search to give employees and customers natural-language access to decades of product documentation, help files, and audio/video recordings across its CAD/CAM software brands (including Cimatron, GibbsCAM, and SigmaNEST). Rather than building separate solutions per product, Sandvik created a shared service with product-specific Copilots, each trained on brand-specific proprietary knowledge and supporting 19 languages with domain-specific translation algorithms. The tool is used internally in sales, customer support, and training, and was first launched across three CAD/CAM brands with a rollout planned to reach 400,000 users. Sandvik reports an average productivity gain of 20-30% (up to 50% for entirely new problems) and roughly 50% less time to onboard new salespeople.

Implementation approach

Instead of building a separate solution for its different products, Sandvik created a shared service on which the company built product-specific Manufacturing Copilots. Each solution was trained on proprietary knowledge unique to each brand. The tool was first launched in Sandvik's CAD/CAM software Cimatron, GibbsCAM, and SigmaNEST and will soon be accessible for 400,000 users.
