The Industry Forward Podcast

Training your first humanoid with AI

Humanoid robots are quickly transitioning from experimental pilots to scalable industrial solutions; and at the heart of this change is AI and simulation. In today’s episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Global Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined with Rahul Garg, Vice President of Industrial Machinery Software Strategy to discuss how on how humanoid robots are trained, deployed and scaled, highlighting the critical roles of AI and the Digital Twin. In this episode, you'll learn: * How AI enables quick and continuous learning * The importance of the Digital Twin to move humanoids from projects to production * Ways to navigate software updates and cybersecurity challenges

Fueling the transformation of automotive with digitalization

Vehicles are not the only thing in the automotive industry being altered by digital technology and software. Many of the processes that make such vehicles, in design, production and beyond, are themselves being transformed with the integration of digital technologies and tools. Such tools, such as the comprehensive Digital Twin, can enable automotive companies and their engineers to shift left, or make key product decisions as early as the design phase. In this episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, Royston Jones, Global Head of Automotive and Transportation for Siemens Digital Industries Software, and Ryan Martin, Senior Research Director at ABI Research discuss the ways digitalization enables the automotive industry to shift left, and other ways digital technology and the Digital Twin impact the industry across the product lifecycle. In this episode, you will learn: * The importance of shifting left in automotive design and beyond * What technologies enable companies to shift left * How data plays a role in building a Digital Twin * The evolution of the Digital Twin over time Connect with Royston: * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/royston-jones-58379b12/?skipRedirect=true] Connect with Ryan: * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryangrangermartin/] Connect with Kate: * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-eby-7819825/]

The value of process industry AI: shatter the one-size-fits-all myth

In process industries there is no AI for all. Just as the value of employees increase with specialization; AI tools become more valuable through improved expertise in particular areas. So, this begs the question, what roles can AI play in process industries? In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software (Siemens) asks this question to William (Bill) Hahn, Director of Solutions Consulting at Siemens. The conversation that ensues shows why AI tools must be tuned to specific users and functions. In this podcast you will learn: * 01:08 – The role of AI in process industries * 04:43 – Anecdotes of how AI could have helped engineers of the past * 10:40 – The value AI brings to individuals across product lifecycles Connect with John on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnnixon/] Connect with Bill on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-hahn-iii/]

The transition to software-defined vehicles

Cars today are incredibly different compared to cars just a few decades ago. Whereas cars were historically mechanically centric products, they are now integrating increasing amounts of electronics and software, to the point that “software-defined vehicles” are becoming the norm. What does this major technological shift mean for the future of the automotive industry? In this episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, Royston Jones, Global Head of Automotive and Transportation for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Ryan Martin, Senior Research Director at ABI Research to explore the key drivers behind the shift toward software-defined vehicles and the ways it is changing how the industry operates across companies, supply chains and beyond. In this episode, you will learn: * What is driving the transition from mechanical to software-defined systems * What technologies make up software-defined vehicles * How the transition is changing automotive OEMs and supply chains * How software is changing the values of vehicles themselves through over the-air updates Connect with Royston: * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/royston-jones-58379b12/?skipRedirect=true] Connect with Ryan: * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryangrangermartin/] Connect with Kate: * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-eby-7819825/]

Flexible automation powered by AI

Humanoid robots bring humanlike flexibility while not being limited by human anatomy. Additionally, humanoids combine human compatibility with scalable, software-driven intelligence to unlock flexible automation that fits existing environments while enabling new level of efficiency. In today’s episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Global Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined with Rahul Garg, Vice President of Industrial Machinery Software Strategy to discuss how humanoids use physical AI to adapt to new environments all while augmenting the capabilities of human workers.   In this episode, you’ll learn:  * How humanoids go beyond human limits  * The role of physical AI  * Training methods for humanoids  * Industry expectations for humanoid production
