Strategic Outlook: Building for Scale As AI continues to evolve, OFSE is committed to developing a resilient, evergreen strategy—one that adapts faster than the technology itself. This requires not only innovation but a cultural shift: embracing AI as a core capability across engineering disciplines. Next Moves: Expanding the Ecosystem Strengthening Partnerships: OFSE is set to play a central role in IET AI’s new structure, aligning efforts with broader strategic goals. AI Champions: Dedicated champions will be appointed across SPS product lines to identify high-impact opportunities and drive adoption. Global Collaboration: Change management efforts will be led by OFSE’s global AI leads, Alist Pilson and Shaun Garthorne, ensuring alignment and avoiding duplication. What’s Ahead in 2025 New initiatives are already underway: Machine Foundation Screening: Enhancing early-phase engineering with AI-driven optimization. Drawing Check Tool Enhancements: Including BOM item identification to further streamline design validation.
TOGETHER, THESE PILOTS DEMONSTRATE THAT AI IS NOT JUST A FUTURE AMBITION—IT’S A PRESENT-DAY ENABLER. The Drawing Check Tool is already live and functional, offering a glimpse into the future of automated design validation. The Erosion Tool’s near real-time analytics are accelerating decision-making and reducing reliance on time-intensive simulations. In late 2023, OFSE took a decisive leap forward by partnering with the IET team in Florence—marking the beginning of a transformative journey into artificial intelligence. What started as a pilot collaboration has rapidly evolved into a strategic alliance, already reshaping how engineering teams operate. 2024: From Vision to Action With dedicated funding secured, two pioneering AI tools were launched to embed intelligence into daily engineering tasks: Drawing Check Tool: This online platform supports peer reviews by automating drawing interrogation—streamlining quality checks and reducing manual effort. Erosion Screening Tool: Tailored for the 7” dual header Aptara manifold block, this solution estimates cumulative peak erosion with impressive speed and accuracy. Currently available to selected users, it delivers predictions with 85% accuracy compared to full CFD simulations. These tools represent more than technical innovation—they’re proof that AI is already delivering measurable value in complex engineering environments. Pilot Successes: Early Wins, Big Impact
