Artificial intelligence has long since become established in engineering. But how does it really advance product development? Through chatbot responses or through data driven models for simulation and process optimisation?

The specialist book AI in Product Development: Technology, Practical Knowledge and Applications uses concrete examples to show how artificial intelligence can be integrated into development processes with visible benefits for development and simulation processes.

Unlike many general publications on artificial intelligence, the book is specifically aimed at product development. It distinguishes between everyday AI applications based on language models and the methods that provide decisive solutions for specific engineering tasks. The focus is on numerical, data driven AI that interprets the laws of physics, minimises simulation effort and can increase efficiency throughout the entire product development process.

The book combines technological fundamentals with application examples covering the entire product development process, from requirements engineering and design to simulation, production and operation. It describes the opportunities while also identifying typical challenges and limitations.

Technology: Magic or simply computational science? What is really behind AI?
Data: More is not always better. The truth about data.
Application examples: Sounds promising, but does it really deliver? AI application areas for simulation.
Implementation: How AI becomes part of the team.
Humans and AI: Competitors or partners?

The focus is on practical implementation within companies. Readers learn how AI projects can be initiated, evaluated and transferred into operation, including organisational, technical and regulatory considerations.

The content is intended for engineers, developers, technical project managers and decision makers in industrial companies who want to use artificial intelligence effectively in product development.

The book can be ordered here with free shipping, and is also available as an eBook.

Book Recommendation: AI in Product Development

This book shows you exactly how to do that—from the basics to implementation. It explains AI in enough depth to be relevant to engineers and technically savvy readers—yet in a way that’s accessible enough for beginners to follow. You’ll learn how AI works, what matters when it comes to data, and how to create real added value—with examples drawn from everyday engineering practice.

Whether it’s improving efficiency, finding new solutions, or fostering collaboration between humans and AI, this book provides substantive answers and delivers knowledge you can apply right away.
