"At the Port of Tilbury, we manage over 500 assets across our site. With more than 75% of our technical workforce coming from external industries, we need a scalable and sustainable way to help them perform effectively in their roles. AI Copilots offer the ideal solution, but with hundreds of suppliers, deploying and maintaining separate systems for each would be unmanageable. We see the Open Copilot Association (OCA) as the answer. By subscribing to OCA-compliant Copilots from various vendors, our workers can access deep supplier expertise through a single, unified app. We validate one platform, train our teams once, and instantly benefit from the collective knowledge of our supplier network. One of our suppliers, Xylem, is already providing OCA-Compliant Copilots for its Flygt Concertor pumps. In under 10 minutes, we were able to subscribe to Xylem’s deep organisational expertise and have it immediately in the hands of our workers."

“As experienced workers retire, AI Copilots preserve valuable knowledge, ensuring continuity. Leveraging AI Expertise unlocks new value, enabling enhanced service offerings and recurring revenue growth.”

“AI copilots are set to transform operations by offering users easy access to information and procedures for their equipment. By bringing together industry leaders like the Hydraulic Institute and Xylem, we are building the foundation for an open and standardized approach to AI copilot adoption”

“We are excited to join The Open Copilot Association for Hydraulic Technologies and contribute to the standardization of AI-driven solutions. By publishing AI copilots to customers, we are enabling our customers to access expertise, and get the most out of their equipment and service agreements”
