Why Eigen Engineering Agent?

 Eigen Engineering Agent is a generative AI‑powered assistant connected to the TIA Portal to boost engineering efficiency, reduce repetitive work, and bring AI into automation engineering workflows. 

  • Built on Siemens’ industrial domain knowledge, providing precise, context‑aware guidance by understanding each customer’s unique TIA Portal project.
  • Tailored engineering capabilities from project setup to hardware implementation, automated tests, and code creation - enabling faster, smarter, and consistent engineering across the automation lifecycle.

Key Benefits

Do more with the team you already have

Experienced automation engineers are scarce. AI-generated logic, automated testing, and validation help your team deliver more with fewer errors - boosting output without adding headcount.
➔ 2–5x faster execution

Speed that doesn't sacrifice quality

Tightening innovation cycles leave little room for delays. Eigen Engineering Agent removes repetitive coding, scripting, and visualization - so you hit deadlines without cutting corners.
➔ Up to 80% higher solution quality 

From repetitive tasks to high-value work

Automation engineers spend too much time on routine work. Eigen Engineering Agent reads your TIA Portal structure and delivers ready-to-use results - freeing your team for high-impact engineering.
➔ Up to 50% higher efficiency
 

Featured Capabilities 

PLC code development & testing

It supports SCL and LAD generation by creating or adapting code, generating test logic, and fixing compile or syntax errors within seconds, all tailored to your standards. It enables bulk property changes across PLC objects, performs style-guide checks, and provides automatic project documentation. It also helps clarify legacy logic, adds comments, and prepares components for future reuse. 

HMI development & visualization

It brings WinCC Unified HMIs to life by generating and integrating JavaScript for dynamic HMI behavior. It supports smooth migration through the easy transition of classic VB scripts into WinCC Unified, and enables intelligent tag dynamization for fast, consistent setup of dynamic tag behavior. 


Drive configuration

It enables the configuration of drives, drive components, motors, and encoders, and supports read/write parameter setup for single‑axis drives, including automatic configuration via spreadsheet import or guided prompting. 

Hardware & network configuration

It supports device configuration by enabling fast, consistent hardware setup with automated device handling using a device list, such as spreadsheet‑based bulk imports. In addition, it enables network configuration through a streamlined PROFINET setup with quick and consistent topology configuration. 

Project Configuration, Knowledge & Support

It enables insights into complex or unfamiliar projects by providing an overview of devices and logic in TIA Portal, helping engineers quickly assess structure and flow. It supports translation of PLC and HMI texts within seconds. It also provides technical information, clear explanations, and step-by-step support, accelerating troubleshooting and decision making. 

Important — Data security: Siemens does not persist customer input data in the cloud. Data is processed in-session only to generate responses — nothing is stored beyond the active session.
