Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today – a podcast for the aerospace and defense industry. A place that brings the promise of tomorrow’s technology to the ears of our listeners today.Digitalization efforts made in the aerospace and defense industry today have already done wonders in accelerating engineering workflows and reducing the amount of labor for A&D programs. The last stage of digital transformation maturity, closed-loop optimization, promises to build on those achievements and revolutionize the industry further.In this episode, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Thierry Olbrechts, Director for Siemens’s Aerospace Industry Solutions, Simcenter Simulation and Test Portfolio. They continue their conversation on closed-loop optimization from the previous episode, discussing how it can benefit more than just product design and why companies should begin building their optimization capabilities now.In this episode, you will learn:

How closed-loop optimization extends across the product lifecycle

Why optimization’s impact across the product lifecycle matters

How optimization builds on digitalization’s achievements in reducing manual interactions

Why companies should start investing in optimization capabilities now
