Information workers have different roles and tasks, for example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Requirement engineers<\/strong>: Define functions of the vehicle based on market requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Software developers<\/strong>: Create new software defined vehicle functions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fleet operators<\/strong>: Operate mobility services and fleet operations for commercial operations using fleet management solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repair and maintenance technicians<\/strong>: Provide repair and maintenance services in the workshop.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A function-based copilot can leverage multiple systems to provide a unified user experience for increasing productivity. To be more effective, the copilot user experience can be optimized for each type of end-user depending on the nature of their tasks and work environments. For example, the copilots run in different types of applications, devices, and uses, such as, end-user programs, desktop computers, mobile applications, or as voice only assistants\u2014requiring different types of user interactions. Application and data integration in automotive can be complex as the ecosystem of software vendors create specialized data and applications that address industry-specific needs, such as functional safety and compliance during development, and right-to-repair regulation for after sale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3-834x1024.webp\" alt=\"Reference architecture showing how partner copilots can leverage Microsoft technology to create value for the automotive industry.\" class=\"wp-image-118052 webp-format\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3-834x1024.webp 834w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3-244x300.webp 244w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3-768x943.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3-1251x1536.webp 1251w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3-1668x2048.webp 1668w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3.webp 1938w\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mobility-RA_Power-of-mobility-copilots-v3-834x1024.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For connecting, ingesting, and analyzing mobility and industrial data, organizations can use Microsoft Azure data analytics and messaging services such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-fabric\/getting-started?msockid=19bff8f4163060c10e15ec43171d6127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Fabric<\/a>,&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/fabric\/real-time-intelligence\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real-Time Intelligence<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/event-grid\/?ef_id=_k_5d9f9ee66f68147ddd73f8521fea30f9_k_&amp;OCID=AIDcmm5edswduu_SEM__k_5d9f9ee66f68147ddd73f8521fea30f9_k_&amp;msclkid=5d9f9ee66f68147ddd73f8521fea30f9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Event Grid<\/a>, to process streaming data from different kinds of devices, from vehicles to robots.

This leads to longer repair times, dissatisfied customers, and unnecessarily replaced part warranty cases, known as \u201cno-fault found\u201d, incurring costs for the automotive manufacturer. Customer satisfaction is deeply affected if vehicles cannot be fixed correctly at a fair price, on the first try. Hence, repair and maintenance is critical to the profitability of the automotive OEMs and their relationship with customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A repair and maintenance technician uses multiple systems to fix a car. These systems range from specialized tools for vehicle diagnostics to digital repair and maintenance manuals, repair procedures, and schematics. Additionally, they need to track all labor and cost times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address these challenges, KPIT has created Trace2Fix, a repair and maintenance copilot that interacts with the following elements:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vehicle diagnostics tooling to communicate with the car and read vehicle health, measurements, actuator control, and software lifecycle management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI-powered reasoning engine to diagnose issues by analyzing symptoms, evidence, and fault codes to identify the most probable root cause. The copilot then directs technicians through optimal test steps, providing access to relevant repair procedures and schematics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sample connections to the dealer management system and customer relationships management that leverages Dynamics 365 to handle appointments, scheduling, customer information, and inventory management.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>KPIT addressed interaction with the technician using both voice-only interfaces to facilitate hands free operations as well as custom cards to quickly display relevant repair information on different device types. With this solution, a repair and maintenance technician can access multiple systems to have information at their fingertips, leverage the Trace2Fix\u2019s dynamic root-cause analysis and reasoning engine, and perform all necessary business actions to perform their tasks quicker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools-for-building-your-own-copilot\">Tools for building your own copilot&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker-container\">\n\t<div class=\" wp-block-msxcm-kicker-block wp-block-msxcm-kicker--align-right\" data-bi-an=\"Kicker Right\">\n\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__title small text-neutral-400 text-uppercase\">\n\t\t\tMicrosoft industry copilot solutions\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<a\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__cta btn btn-link p-0 text-decoration-none\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-cloud\/blog\/2024\/06\/25\/innovating-at-the-speed-of-ai-microsofts-industry-copilot-solutions\/\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\t\t>\n\t\t\t<span>Read the blog<\/span> <span class=\"glyph-append glyph-append-xsmall wp-block-msxcm-kicker__glyph glyph-append-go\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several options for creating industry specific copilots to address a variety of function and role-based needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For pro-code developers, copilots can also be created as services that leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/semantic-kernel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Semantic Kernel<\/a> and connect to data sources and systems that are relevant for the customer scenario.
