Episode 65: Scaling AI in Engineering with Alexander Krumm and Prof. Dr. Thomas Meenken

Broadcast date: February 24th, 2026, 18:30 CET Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — but how do engineering organizations move beyond experimentation and isolated pilots toward real, scalable impact? In this episode of the MBSE Podcast, we welcome Prof. Dr. Thomas Meenken and Alexander Krumm, two experts who combine deep methodological expertise with hands-on industrial scaling experience. Thomas brings academic rigor and industry leadership experience from BHS, Roche, and Zeiss. Alexander, a seasoned system architect, contributes large-scale implementation expertise from Continental, CARIAD, and CLAAS. Together, they share practical insights from real-world projects conducted through their companies VPATH AI and AI Powered Engineering — spanning the journey from first pragmatic AI agents to agentic workflows and ultimately to integrated Engineering Intelligence platforms. What you will learn: Scaling AI without frontloading perfectionYou don’t need perfect data to start. AI can actively help structure and clean information from the very first use case. Learn how companies move from isolated quick wins to a scalable, integrated platform approach. From isolated agents to Engineering IntelligenceTrue scaling requires context — understanding technical decisions, organizational constraints, resource bottlenecks, and skills gaps. We discuss what it really takes to industrialize AI in engineering environments. Lessons learned from real implementationsAI should act as a relevance filter — protecting overloaded teams from data overflow and overspecification. One key benefit: drastically reduced onboarding time for complex software systems, even when legacy documentation is incomplete or missing. Strategic advice from the fieldAI adoption is an organizational learning journey — not a one-time software purchase. Why expert-led implementation projects with tool vendors matter far more than simply buying licenses, and how to shape an AI strategy that truly fits your company.

Episode 61: Starforge with Johannes Gross

Broadcast date: October 10th, 2025, 19:00 CET In our next MBSE Podcast episode, we welcome Johannes Gross, founder of Planetary Utilities, to explore Starforge — a bold new platform that reimagines how we engineer complex systems. We will highlight: The power of SysML v2 as a unifying platform — enabling consistent structure, behavior, and semantics across the full engineering stack. The integration of AI with model-based engineering — supporting conversational model building and queries. End-to-end toolchain integration — including seamless connections to CAD, simulation engines, and open-source tools like OpenMBEE, preserving model intent across disciplines and teams. And at the end of the episode, we’ll showcase a live demo of Starforge in action — from model queries to simulation runs and interactive engineering workflows.

Episode 57: Non-SysML MBSE for Chemical Sourcing

Broadcast date: April 24th, 2025, 19:00 CET When you think MBSE, you might think SysML right away—but what about MBSE without SysML? In our next episode, we sit down with a guest, Joshua Feingold from Occam Systems, a company that helps organizations source specialty chemicals—from flavors and fragrances to pharma ingredients and adhesives. But how do they approach complexity and optimization before anything is even manufactured? We dive into how Occam applies MBSE principles without SysML: How they model and simulate chemical sourcing processes Why does their MBSE metamodel has fewer than 20 concepts How they use AI, algorithms, and chemists in an upstream fusion of science and systems Why “MBSE First Principles” and the ideas of Wymore still matter Diagrams vs Text vs Both: what works best? If you’re curious about how MBSE is evolving outside the traditional SysML ecosystem—and how it empowers decision-making in non-obvious domains—you won’t want to miss this one.
