Now is the time to discuss the fifth and final stage of the journey, closed-loop optimization, and how it builds upon and adds to the previous stages that came before it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Thierry Olbrechts, Director for Siemens\u2019s Aerospace Industry Solutions Simcenter Simulation and Test Portfolio. They introduce closed-loop optimization in the context of digital transformation maturity, and begin using the space industry as a use case as to how closed-loop optimization can improve upon the industry\u2019s engineering workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this episode, you will learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What closed-loop optimization is in the context of digital transformation maturity<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How engineering workflows and optimization worked in the space industry\u2019s past<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How digital transformation and tools have already transformed those workflows<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How closed-loop optimization can improve them even further<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/01\/headshot_todd_tuthill-e1675095289505.jpg\" alt=\"Todd Tuthill \u2013 Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Todd Tuthill \u2013 Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Todd Tuthill<\/strong> is the Vice President of Aerospace &amp; Defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/toddtuthill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Todd on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/02\/thierry_200.jpg\" alt=\"Thierry Olbrechts - Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Thierry Olbrechts &#8211; Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Thierry Olbrechts<\/strong> is the Director of Aerospace Industry Solutions Simcenter Simulation and Test Portfolio for Siemens Digital Industries Software<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/thierry-olbrechts-3833171\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Thierry on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/01\/headshot_patty_russo-e1675095279335.jpg\" alt=\"Patty Russo \u2013 Host\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Patty Russo \u2013 Host<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Patty Russo<\/strong> is Global Marketing Manager for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/patty-russo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Patty on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to&nbsp;Talking Aerospace Today&nbsp;\u2013 a podcast for the aerospace and defense industry.
