Encord
AI agent
Merlin is Encord's agentic intelligence layer, letting teams build, observe and optimise their data infrastructure through conversation. It creates complete labeling setups from prompts or documents, reports data metrics and coverage gaps on demand, and surfaces issues affecting model performance. It is reachable inside Encord or from external tools over Model Context Protocol, including Claude and Slack.
Platform
The multimodal data layer for physical AI: one platform for managing, curating, annotating and aligning sensor, video, image and text data at petabyte scale. The modules a buyer licenses — Annotate, Index and Active — are recorded separately.
Siemens
AI agent
Generative-AI engineering agent connected to TIA Portal that writes and tests PLC code in SCL and LAD, builds HMI logic and configures drives, hardware and networks for automation projects.
Platform
Generative and agentic AI system for Siemens EDA tools that ingests and vectorises multimodal design data, exposes a natural-language interface across the design workflow and automates debugging, with customer-choice LLM support.
Edge software suite for packaging, deploying, running and monitoring AI models on the factory floor, comprising an AI SDK, AI Inference Server and AI Asset Manager running on Siemens Industrial Edge and NVIDIA-accelerated industrial PCs.
Visual drag-and-drop and notebook-based platform in the Rapidminer portfolio for building, training and explaining machine learning and generative AI models, with AutoML tooling and deployment to cloud, on-premises or edge infrastructure.
Enterprise knowledge-graph platform in the Rapidminer portfolio, built on open W3C standards (RDF, SPARQL, OWL, SHACL), that federates cross-domain data into a governed semantic layer and gives AI agents a queryable, traceable context for grounded answers.
No counterpart
Encord sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Siemens yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
Data Agents automate Encord data pipelines by integrating humans, state-of-the-art models and a customer's own models into data workflows. They handle tasks such as pre-labeling, object segmentation and tracking, video captioning, audio transcription and sentiment analysis, combined with human-in-the-loop quality assurance.
Data service
Encord Active is Encord's model and data evaluation product. It evaluates and validates models against their data to surface, curate and prioritise the most valuable data for training and fine-tuning, covering model robustness checks, drift and failure-mode detection, automated label-error detection, and active learning workflows across images, video, 3D/LiDAR, audio and documents.
Encord Annotate is Encord's multimodal data labeling product, used to annotate and review images, video, audio, text, documents, DICOM, LiDAR and geospatial data. It provides AI-assisted labeling, customizable ontologies, human-in-the-loop review workflows and quality-control tooling for managing large annotation teams.
Managed annotation service: Encord supplies vetted domain experts for a customer's task and runs the projects, with an evaluation workflow built around the customer's own spec rather than volume alone.
Managed collection of real-world training data for physical AI: in-field operators, teleoperation facilities and configurable lab environments gathering the embodied, egocentric and sensor data a robotics model needs.
Encord Index is Encord's multimodal data curation and management product. It lets teams search datasets with natural language and similarity search across video, image, audio, LiDAR, text, document, geospatial and HTML files, filter by 40+ data metrics and custom metadata, visualise outliers on embeddings plots, and remove duplicates and poor-quality data via Collections. Data stays in the customer's own cloud with 'zero data migration required'.
End-to-end data service for robotics, autonomous systems and embodied AI: data collection (in-field operators, teleoperation), curation, LiDAR/point-cloud/multi-camera annotation, VLA/VLM action-captioning, and post-deployment feedback loops, with on-prem/VPC deployment.
Siemens sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Encord yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Generative-AI assistant for industrial engineers that answers equipment-troubleshooting questions by chat, generates and debugs automation code, and supports digital-twin simulation, built with Microsoft Azure AI.
Ready-to-use AI visual quality inspection system that trains on roughly 20 good samples to detect anomalies, deviations and missing parts on a production line without machine-vision or AI expertise.
Cloud predictive-maintenance software that applies industrial AI to machine and process data to forecast asset failures, rank risk across sites and prioritise maintenance work.
