For decades, electrical engineering software has focused on one thing: helping engineers create drawings faster.

While CAD tools have improved productivity, the underlying workflow has remained largely unchanged: Engineers still spend a significant portion of their time manually designing, modifying, and validating systems.

Now, a new shift is emerging. With the rapid advancement of AI, engineering is moving beyond drawing and toward intent-driven design, where engineers define what they want to build and software generates the solution.

This represents the next evolution from traditional CAD systems to AI-native engineering systems.

In this session, you will hear what this shift means specifically for control system integrators and electrical engineers — not from a theoretical perspective, but from practical, real-world application.

Using examples from AI-powered electrical CAD, including workflows that reduce engineering time from hours to minutes, this session will show you how AI can fundamentally change how projects are designed, delivered, and scaled.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Understand the difference between AI features in CAD and AI-native engineering systems
• Identify where current engineering workflows create bottlenecks and how AI removes them
• Evaluate where AI-driven design can be applied today in real projects
• Reduce engineering effort, rework, and project timelines
• Prepare your organization for the next wave of engineering automation

Who should attend: If you are a control system integrator, electrical engineer, engineering manager, or technical decision-maker involved in designing, delivering, or scaling automation projects, this session is for you.

Key takeaway: AI is not just another feature inside engineering tools — it is changing how engineering work itself is done. The real opportunity is not drawing faster but eliminating manual design steps altogether.
