Siemens unveiled the Eigen Engineering Agent—moving industrial AI from assistance to autonomous execution. The Eigen Engineering Agent is a commercially available AI system that can plan and execute industrial automation engineering tasks.
The Eigen Engineering Agent operates within real engineering systems to plan, execute, and validate tasks. It understands its projects, writes automation code, configures systems, and iterates until predefined performance benchmarks are met.
“This is a defining moment for industrial AI—where the technology becomes as easy to use as consumer AI, yet far more consequential,” says Peter Koerte, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and the company’s chief technology officer and chief strategy officer. “The Eigen Engineering Agent creates concrete business value for our customers. And it has the potential to fundamentally transform how they design, build, and operate the industrial systems we rely on.”
In pilot deployments with more than 100 companies in 19 countries, the Eigen Engineering Agent accelerated common engineering tasks such as programmable logic controller (PLC) coding, human-machine interface (HMI) visualization, and device configuration.
The Eigen Engineering Agent is production-ready and available to the more than 600,000 users of Siemens’ Totally Integrated Automation Engineering platform, TIA Portal. It is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio and is digitally available now.
This product launch is part of Siemens’ €1 billion investment in industrial AI, announced in November 2025.
To date, Siemens has more than 1,500 AI experts and holds more than 2,000 AI patent families worldwide. With plans to create an industrial AI operating system for the physical world, the company is embedding AI across its portfolio and creating new AI-native products, such as the Eigen Engineering Agent.
