Data, Simulation and AI Driven Digital Engineering – Value Creation & Best Practice

With this title, I had the privilege of giving a keynote speech at Ansys Simulation World Nordic 2025 in Gothenburg.
Thank you to Jens Albrektsson, Marco Lanfrit, and the Ansys/Synopsis Team for the invitation.

Data – its availability, API access, quality, and management are prerequisites for AI.

Simulation, Virtualization, and Validation enable a holistic Shift Left:
From validation on the road to the test bench to the virtual world.
AI technologies and assistants also accelerate modeling, validation, systems engineering, and software development, including over-the-air updates.

Digital Transformation should always begin with measurable goals with a view to generating value along the dimensions of time, cost, and quality:
Accelerating the product development process toward 2-3 years,
significantly reducing hardware prototypes and their resulting costs, and
increasing quality and product maturity to comply with the defined SOP.

In addition to the hard facts, the soft facts are also crucial for a successful transformation, namely Culture, Team, and Mindset – and ultimately, Digital Courage.

I really enjoyed the discussion with the participants, the networking, the industry meetings, and the interview – perfect organization.
