In his group they conduct research to create intelligent systems, which can work autonomously and in collaboration with humans to increase the safety, reliability, and productivity of industrial plants and processes. For this purpose, they leverage process modelling, model predictive control, optimization, and machine learning.
In the podcast, we talk about the architecture of the Industrial Copilot, how Schaeffler wants to use it, why the customer provides data, how it is used and what the next steps are in the area of Industrial AI and GenAI.
In this episode, Peter Seeberg talks to Stefan Suwelack about RAG for industry, the role of data and the Data Centric Approach and about the Industrial AI Canvas. Stefan works for Renumics. He and his team work for companies like Rehau, Festool or Polytec.

Jens Wonneberger is the CISO of automotive supplier Mann+Hummel. He explains to us what rules the company has set itself when it comes to GenAI and LLMs. Jens Wonneberger is a big AI advocate, but we've never had a CISO on the Industrial AI Podcast. But the Mann+Hummel rules can certainly help other companies too. In the news section, we talk about BCW24 and one of the highlights was the announcement that Landing AI is a new partner of the crtlX ecosystem. But we also talk about Harting's Industrial Ethernet Week and ask ourselves: Are models ultimately a commodity?
Johannes Brandstetter is leading a group “AI for data-driven simulations” at the Institute for Machine Learning at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz. Additionally, he is a Head of Research (AI4Simulation) at NXAI - the new European AI hub in Linz (Austria). Quote: I am firmly convinced that AI is on the cusp of disrupting simulations at industry-scale. Every day thousands and thousands of compute hours are spent on turbulence modeling, simulations of fluid or air flows, heat transfer in materials, traffic flows, and many more. Many of these processes follow similar underlying patterns, but yet need different and extremely specialized software to simulate. Even worse, for different parameter settings the costly simulations need to be run at full length from scratch. Thanks for listening.

We are starting a small simulation special. Last week it was all about batteries. This week the focus is on gas turbines by Siemens Energy. Behnam Nouri is the AI expert at Siemens Energy. He talks to Peter Seeberg about the simulation of gas turbines and explains how he and his team were able to reduce the calculation time for simulations using machine learning. Peter is traveling with an unreliable Internet connection. So the news part is a bit shorter. Robert Weber talks about Sora and what the new genAI model means for the engineering process.

As things stand today: "We have to scale. We first test on small data sets, then on medium-sized sets and finally on the very large sets," explains Hochreiter. The XLSTM technology performs "very well" on the small and medium-sized data sets. You have to beat all models on the market, says Linz. Over 1,000 GPUs around the world are currently computing the development from Upper Austria. The time horizon is ambitious: The tests on the smaller and medium-sized data sets should be completed by the end of March. "The large data sets will then take centre stage in June," explains Albert Ortig, Managing Director of NXAI. Thanks for listening.

At Beckhoff, they call the approach with AI-supported engineering. The result is: TwinCAT Chat. With TwinCAT Chat, the so-called Large Language Models, such as ChatGPT from OpenAI, can be conveniently used for the development of a TwinCAT project. This increases productivity in control programming. But: Beckhoff does not only rely on OpenAI. Other OS LLMs are also used.
