industrialpartners GmbH publishes white paper on the role of AI in product development
The rapid development of artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing industrial product development. Where CAD, simulation and PLM systems used to dominate, AI-based tools are now appearing on the scene that not only automate processes, but also increase creativity and the speed of innovation.
industrialpartners GmbH uses these technologies in a targeted manner to accelerate and improve the quality of the entire development process – from brainstorming to series production. The focus remains on people: AI is seen as a curatorial partner that provides inspiration, generates variants and supports creative decisions – not replaces them.
The study on the development of an enteral feeding pump for the personal healthcare sector provides an illustrative example. Here, tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney and DALL-E were used in all early phases – from needs analysis and visual concept sketches to CAD modeling. The result: faster iteration cycles, better user orientation and a significantly higher innovation density.
“For us, AI is not a trend, but a tool for combining creative quality with efficiency,” says Jens Arend, Managing Director of industrialpartners GmbH. “The decisive factor is not the technology itself, but how we curate it and integrate it into our development processes.”
The white paper shows in a practical way how industrialpartners is setting new standards in product development through the targeted use of AI technologies – networked, agile and intelligent.
