The kick-off of the new LLM-SE research project took place at the end of January together with our partners ASTRUM IT, Klinkhammer Intralogistics and the Chair of Manufacturing Automation and Production Systems at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg. In close cooperation, we are pursuing the goal of significantly increasing the efficiency and applicability of model-based systems engineering (SE) through the use of Large Language Models (LLM).
LLM-SE is planned for a project duration of three years and is supported by the StMWi, the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, as part of the VDI/VDE funding line "Digitalisation".
The research project aims to address one of the biggest challenges in the development of complex mechatronic systems: the predominantly manual and error-prone model generation and simulation process. By integrating generative AI and workflow management, the aim is to achieve partially automated model generation and optimisation. Bavarian SMEs in the special machine construction sector in particular should benefit from the results of the project and be supported in the transformation to end-to-end digital MBSE.
"With LLM-SE, we are taking a big step towards automated modelling. In future, every system will have a virtual image - our aim is to make this process more efficient and error-free using AI." - Christian Deuerlein, Development Engineer at HEITEC.
HEITEC is looking forward to the pioneering research work and close cooperation with all project partners to help shape the future of systems engineering.
