Excel as a Bridge: Streamlining Simulation Data When Databases Aren’t Ready

Excel as a Bridge: When connected databases aren’t available, simulation projects often face delays and inefficiencies. In this session, Natalia Weis and Cristina Palomares from Lear Corporation present a practical solution: using pre-templated Excel tables to streamline data integration in Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. This method reduces errors, saves time, and empowers users—regardless of expertise—to manage data efficiently. With a focus on flexibility, standardization, and ease of use, this approach has proven effective across automotive projects and beyond. Attendees will gain actionable insights and see real-world examples of how Excel can act as a powerful bridge between disconnected data and effective simulation.

🌟 AI-Powered Simulation: Integrating LLMs with Plant Simulation for Next-Gen Models

AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming industrial processes by enhancing Siemens Plant Simulation with intuitive, natural language interfaces. This integration automates simulation model creation through the Automated Simulation Models Generation (ASMG) methodology, allowing faster, more accessible manufacturing system design. By reducing modeling effort and enabling rapid experimentation, AI-driven simulation accelerates optimization. This innovation democratizes advanced simulation tools, improves flexibility, and reduces development time, ushering in a new era of digital manufacturing. Pierpaolo Veltri discusses this at the 2025 Plant Simulation Conference in Amsterdam.

From heat to range – energy and thermal management done right

Regardless of what's under the hood of the car, all vehicles all share a critical need: keeping temperatures "just right." It's like conducting an orchestra where every instrument needs to play at the perfect volume. When it works, it's beautiful. When it doesn't... well, that's when you notice.
