19 min - 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

15 min - 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

20 min - 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

13 min - The 5 best FAIR data secrets to empower process engineers
Process industry data is only useful if it is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. This concept, often truncated to FAIR data, represents how information can feed digital twins, simulations and AI systems that herald the next industrial revolution.
In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software (Siemens) will speak with William (Bill) Hahn, Director of Solutions Consulting at Siemens. In this discussion, they highlight five key takeaways about FAIR data for engineers modernizing industrial applications.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 01:04 – The concept of FAIR data
- 03:15 – How FAIR data links to platforms, digital twins and simulations
- 05:44 – The role of FAIR data to produce AI tools for the process industry

12 min - Shifting left: How Makersite and Siemens enable sustainability by design
The concept of “shifting left” is critical for the development of sustainable products. The sooner companies have insights into their products’ environmental impact, the more time they have to optimize said products’ sustainability while increasing its chances of success in the market. Such insights, however, can only be gained with the right digital tools and strategies that can leverage data across the product lifecycle and beyond.
In this episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, Eryn Devola, Head of Sustainability for Siemens Digital Industries, is joined by Neil D’Souza, CEO of Makersite. Together, they explore how the partnership between their companies demonstrates how digital tools such as AI can help companies shift left and fully harness lifecycle data to design products more likely to succeed while bringing about a more sustainable future.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How the Siemens-Makersite partnership illustrates AI’s role in measuring sustainability impact
- The benefits of digitalized lifecycle analysis in engineers’ workflows
- How companies can use data from such analyses to shift left in their processes and inform sustainable design
- Real world examples of how digital tools and strategies enable sustainability and success in the market

18 min - How data is the new oil
Data lakes, like oil reservoirs, are filled with vast industrial and economic potential. And much like how we dig for oil, we must wade through data reservoirs to find the hidden AI insights within. Thus, companies without a data strategy have no AI strategy!
In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software (Siemens) will speak with William (Bill) Hahn, Director of Solutions Consulting at Siemens. These experts will discuss strategies to mine the insights from data lakes, how data can be as valuable as oil and the future of multidisciplinary AI for engineering applications.
