From promising AI pilots to real industrial impact: How can artificial intelligence transform engineering processes, accelerate product development, and enable trustworthy, scalable solutions?
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way industrial companies develop products, manage engineering data, and collaborate across disciplines. Yet moving beyond individual use cases and pilot projects remains a major challenge.
At AI Day 2026, jointly organized by prostep ivip and it's OWL, experts from industry and research will share practical insights into how AI can deliver measurable value in engineering and manufacturing.
The event will explore new approaches to AI-enabled collaborative engineering, the potential of open-source and sovereign AI solutions, and the use of deep learning to dramatically accelerate engineering simulations. Another key focus will be the role of connected, semantically enriched engineering data as an essential foundation for trustworthy and scalable industrial AI.
Through real-world examples and expert perspectives, participants will discover how AI can move from isolated applications to sustainable integration into industrial engineering processes.
