ABSTRACT
The industrial domain offers a high degree of standardization, a variety of very specialized use cases, and an abundance of resources. These characteristics provide perfect conditions for Digital Companion systems. A Digital Companion is a cognitive agent that assists human users by taking on three roles: as guardians, assistants or mentors, and partners. This paper describes the characteristics, conceptual architecture, use cases and open challenges regarding Digital Companions for industry.
