Dr. Zein is CEO and President of WSCAD GmbH, the developer of ELECTRIX AI<\/a> \u2013 the world’s first AI-powered electrical CAD platform \u2013 and a former IBM executive.<\/em><\/p>\n

Electrical engineering is entering a new phase. Not because engineers suddenly need another chatbot, but because the underlying logic of how electrical design gets done \u2013 schematics, documentation, cabinet layout, requirements validation, knowledge transfer \u2013 is starting to change at its foundation.
\nThat is the core argument from Dr Axel Zein, CEO and President of WSCAD, speaking on the “Talking Industrial Automation” podcast, produced by CSIA, the global trade association for control system integrators in industrial automation. Zein brings a specific perspective to this conversation: his background includes enterprise technology at IBM, and since 2023 he has been leading WSCAD through its own internal AI transformation \u2013 not just building AI-powered electrical CAD software, but running an engineering organisation that had to learn how to use it. WSCAD became the first electrical CAD vendor in the world to ship an AI-powered system in production, in 2024.
\nWhen Zein talks about what AI-native electrical engineering actually requires, he is drawing on three years of building it, selling it, and watching what happens inside the organisations that try to adopt it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1781786725164{margin-bottom: 16px !important;}” text_direction=”default”]Listen to the podcast:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
