In the cooperation of KoçDigital and Microsoft Turkey, the topics Agentic AI, Industrial AI and Physical AI stand out. These fields show that AI is not just for data analysis or office productivity; It aims to take a more active role in production, supply chain, operations management and decision-making processes. The solutions to be developed with Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI and related Microsoft technologies are aimed to make companies’ processes faster, more efficient, sustainable and less error-prone.
Especially on the industrial artificial intelligence side, different usage scenarios may come to the fore, from production lines to field operations. Specific usage scenarios for corporations will be developed. Within the scope of the agreement, the parties will work together in areas such as determining corporate-specific AI usage scenarios, rapid prototyping, pilot project development, training programs, hackathons and technical support activities.
This approach aims to reduce the “general solution” problem that is common in artificial intelligence projects. Usage scenarios customized according to the sectoral needs of institutions; It can be evaluated under different headings such as production efficiency, stock and supply chain optimization, maintenance processes, forecasting, decision support systems and employee productivity. An industrial artificial intelligence ecosystem is targeted in Turkey.
