Video: Certainly More Knowledge: Smart Engineering Day Takes Place Virtually

2023 Author: Hannah Pearcy | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-05-24 11:12
The corona virus really has it all and forces us all to lockdown. At the moment, experts and virulogens cannot yet foresee how the situation will develop and what is still to come. Because health and safety is top priority for the Vogel Communications Group and we take the concerns of our customers, guests, employees and business partners very seriously, we are breaking new ground: in order not to have to do without further training, which is particularly important in these times the Smart Engineering Day of construction practice will not take place as a face-to-face event - instead we offer the conference with practice forum as part of contact-free and therefore safe web conferences
The safe concept of our virtual Smart Engineering Day:
- The event will be on May 7 from about 9:00 to 16:00 take place. The specific times are currently being coordinated with the speakers. We will inform all participants promptly.
- All plenary lectures and practice forums will take place online.
- Live here: The participants receive impulses, know-how and can ask questions to the speakers in chat.
Registration and competition
Special times require special measures: Because we want to support you in construction practice even in difficult times, we offer the event at the Corona price of € 129. After registering on the website, you will receive the link to the live webinars. To round off this new type of event, we are giving away five vouchers for the Lieferando delivery service from all participants. With pizza and Co. you are perfectly equipped for our virtual Smart Engineering Day.

Topics of the Smart Engineering Day
Due to current demands on product development such as increasing complexity and increasing time and cost pressure, designers and product developers have to rethink the product creation process in order to streamline processes and make them more efficient. The Smart Engineering Day offers designers and developers decision-making aids for the selection of the most suitable methods and tools for the development of competitive smart products.
The main topics include:
- Construction methods (among others according to VDI 2222)
- Innovation methods (Design Thinking, Lego Serious Play or Scrum also for the hardware)
- Intelligent simulation (making decisions faster with simulation, democratization of the simulation, digital twin and virtual commissioning as well as virtual reality in construction and development)
- Clever design (automate routine tasks, design with configurators)
Tips for the successful use of AI
In addition, the Smart Engineering Day also deals with artificial intelligence and shows what you need to consider in order to successfully use AI in design and development. Prof. Dr. Patrick Glauner explains why most AI projects fail in practice and gives tips for the successful use of the technology.

Design efficiently thanks to knowledge-based product development
Another topic is knowledge-based product development. Dr. Benjamin Schleich from the Chair of Construction Technology at the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg shows the basics of knowledge-based product development and locates the term in the context of digital engineering. Using examples, the historical development of construction rules and catalogs towards intelligent assistance systems is shown. In addition, an insight is given on how knowledge-based design can be further improved by implementing the digital twin as well as data driven methods and methods of artificial intelligence.
