Understanding the intersection of AI and simulation – Part 3
Over time what was once thought impossible slowly becomes
possible. For all its flaws, the artificial intelligence of today would be more
at home on the holodeck than the board room even 20 years ago, yet today AI is
reshaping how people do their jobs in every sector. For every great leap in technology, there are
many smaller building blocks that pave the way and for AI in industry, digital
transformation is one such building block, a key step in merging existing tools
and data with the power of AI.
In the final episode of this special miniseries, host
Spencer Acain is joined by Todd Tuthill, Vice President for Aerospace and
Defense and Marine Industry at Siemens, Dr. Justin Hodges, Senior AI/ML
Technical Specialist at Siemens as well as Fatma Kocer-Poyraz, Vice President
of Engineering Data Science at Altair to look both forward and backward at how
far we’ve come with AI, simulation and digital transformation, and how far we
still have to go.
In this episode you will learn:
·
The importance of AI in the digital
transformation of industry (0:50)
·
How science fiction becomes science fact (7:49)

Understanding the intersection of AI and simulation – Part 2
Generative AI is proving to be a powerful force multiplier
across many industries, allowing a single user to do more in less time and even
highly complex tasks, like product design, are reaping generative AI-driven
benefits. However, as powerful as these AI tools are, they must be carefully
applied in conjunction with not in place of existing tools like simulation. Only
together can AI and simulation achieve a better result than either could alone.
In this special miniseries, host Spencer Acain is joined by
Todd Tuthill, Vice President for Aerospace and Defense and Marine Industry at
Siemens, Dr. Justin Hodges, Senior AI/ML Technical Specialist at Siemens as
well as Fatma Kocer-Poyraz, Vice President of Engineering Data Science at
Altair to examine it takes to develop generative AI fit for industry and how
best to combine the two fields.
In this episode you will learn:
·
Where generative AI fits in industry (0:43)
·
What is an industrial foundation model? (9:27)

Understanding the intersection of AI and simulation – Part 1
Simulation has been a cornerstone of the design process for
many years but despite how advanced modern simulation tools have become, there are
always ways to continue advancing. Artificial intelligence and machine learning
represent one such path to improvement, working in tandem with existing
simulation techniques to accelerate design space exploration and beyond.
In this special miniseries, host Spencer Acain is joined by Todd
Tuthill, Vice President for Aerospace and Defense and Marine Industry at Siemens,
Dr. Justin Hodges, Senior AI/ML Technical Specialist at Siemens as well as
Fatma Kocer-Poyraz, Vice President of Engineering Data Science at Altair to
explore the ways AI/ML will complement traditional simulation and enhance
design space exploration going forward.
In this episode you will learn:
·
What are the synergies between AI and
simulation? (3:12)
·
The power ML surrogates for design space
exploration (7:17)
·
Value of AI and simulation (11:35)
·

A bright future of AI in Operational Technology
Merging AI with operational technology (OT) is no simple
task, between concerns about robustness and reliability as well as data
privacy, there are many challenges to overcome. With that said, the potential
benefits make the endeavor worth the effort. Rather than bringing AI into every
aspect of manufacturing right away, the key for long-term success will be adopting
it gradually through small tasks with immediate benefit that also support
broader, long-term goals.
In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Ralf
Wagner, Senior Vice President of data-driven manufacturing at Siemens, to look
at the steps it will take to bring AI into the manufacturing and operations
world, the key insights he and his team have gained along the way and finally,
what the future will hold for AI in industry.
In the episode you will learn:
·
Challenges of bringing AI into operations (00:57)

The importance of AI and data in the manufacturing process
Artificial intelligence and data go hand in hand together, whether
that’s as data used to train AI models or as AI models used to analyze and
retrieve data. In the industrial world, there’s a fine balance between leveraging
data to fine-tune shop floor AI systems meaning data intelligence is an equally
valuable asset as well. Similarly, AI itself can provide a form of data
intelligence through the lens of an Industrial Copilot capable of aggregating
vast quantities of data into easy to access and understand formats. Bringing
these elements together will be vital in realizing the future of data-driven
manufacturing.
In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined once more by
Ralf Wagner, Senior Vice President of data-driven manufacturing at Siemens as
he examines the applications of pretrained AI solutions compared to fine-tuning
them for specific deployments. Additionally, he looks at the ways the
Industrial Copilot can be applied to the data-driven manufacturing process.
In the episode you will learn:
·
Out-of-the-box vs. fine-tuned models (0:42)
·
Applications of the Industrial Copilot (5:02)
