The Future of Engineering: Why AI-Native Workflows Will Change Everything with Dr. Axel Zein
About this episode
This episode explores the impact of AI-native workflows on the future of engineering and industrial automation.
What happens when AI stops acting as a productivity tool and starts becoming the decision layer of engineering? In this episode of Talking Industrial Automation , Lisa Richter sits down with Dr. Axel Zein, CEO and President of WSCAD, to explore the rise of AI-native engineering and what it means for the future of industrial automation. Axel explains why simply adding AI to existing workflows isn't enough, how engineering processes are poised for a fundamental transformation, and why the companies that embrace AI today will gain a significant advantage tomorrow. From reducing complexity and accelerating documentation to reshaping the role of engineers themselves, this conversation offers a practical look at where AI is delivering real value—and where the hype falls short.
