Zein is CEO of WSCAD, the company behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/en\/electrix\/\">ELECTRIX AI<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/en\/electrixos\/\">ELECTRIX OS<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For most electrical engineers, a new machine still takes shape in two places: in the engineer&#8217;s head, where the design is worked out, and in the CAD system, where it is documented step by step. In his interview with PBSI magazine, Dr Axel Zein explains why engineering intelligence reverses that order. The starting point is no longer the CAD system but the engineering objective, and the software takes on part of the engineering itself.<\/p>\n<p>Zein leads WSCAD, which develops electrical CAD software. With ELECTRIX OS, the company has built an engineering intelligence platform: an AI-native layer that sits above the CAD system, develops technical solutions from requirements and hands the result to CAD for execution and documentation.<\/p>\n<p>The challenges behind this approach, from too little engineering capacity to too much repetitive work, are also reflected in WSCAD&#8217;s industry report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/en\/study\/\"><em>The State of Electrical Engineering 2026<\/em><\/a>, which surveyed more than 1,200 electrical engineers. In the interview, Zein explains how ELECTRIX OS differs from an AI copilot, how its decisions remain traceable, where responsibility sits and how engineering knowledge stays inside the company.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<strong>Watch the interview:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Inside the launch of ELECTRIX OS: The future of AI-native engineering\" style=\"width:1280px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_Sl2yuwKEVVw\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FSl2yuwKEVVw%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sl2yuwKEVVw\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT21M47S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2026-10-27T10:59:55Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_Sl2yuwKEVVw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FSl2yuwKEVVw%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Inside the launch of ELECTRIX OS: The future of AI-native engineering<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Sl2yuwKEVVw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wscad.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FSl2yuwKEVVw%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Inside the launch of ELECTRIX OS: The future of AI-native engineering\" width=\"1280\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Here, we sit down with Dr Axel Zein of WSCAD to talk about the practical implications and benefits of moving from AI assistance to \u201cAI-native engineering\u201d for electrical engineers.

Only once the engineer has reviewed, changed and approved that solution does the CAD system come into play: \u201cIt&#8217;s used to execute and document everything.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;60&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221; el_id=&#8221;why-not-add-ai&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; el_class=&#8221;single_testimonial&#8221;]\n<blockquote style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><p>If you simply add AI to a CAD software, CAD remains the centre of the engineering process.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Why Not Simply Add AI to CAD?<\/h3>\n<p>Could a similar result not be achieved by adding more AI capabilities to conventional ECAD software? Zein&#8217;s answer is a clear no. \u201cIf you simply add AI to a CAD software, CAD remains the centre of the engineering process, which is the de facto standard in most companies. We wanted to change that.\u201d<br \/>\nMore AI inside CAD, he argues, only improves the way an engineer interacts with the software. \u201cBut you&#8217;re not fundamentally changing the process how engineering happens itself.\u201d<br \/>\nELECTRIX OS therefore creates an intelligent engineering layer above the CAD tools, one that understands the objective, the standards, the requirements and the components. Zein stresses that its design is completely agnostic of the CAD tool itself, as it should be. The CAD system becomes the execution layer of a more intelligent piece of software.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;60&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221; el_id=&#8221;copilot&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; el_class=&#8221;single_testimonial&#8221;]\n<blockquote style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><p>A copilot helps engineers use the software, while an engineering intelligence software like ELECTRIX OS participates in the engineering itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">What Is the Difference Between a Copilot and Engineering Intelligence?<\/h3>\n<p>The difference is architectural, Zein says. A copilot sits inside an application and helps the user operate it, for example by changing a wire from red to green or generating the bill of material. It then does what it is told to do, \u201chopefully\u201d, as Zein adds.<br \/>\nELECTRIX OS works at a different level. \u201cBut ELECTRIX OS sits above the CAD system, and it starts with engineering intent.\u201d It asks what is being built, which requirements and constraints apply and which standards and rules must be followed. From this, it develops the engineering solution that today exists only in the engineer&#8217;s head. CAD systems, in Zein&#8217;s view, are \u201cintelligent, sophisticated documentation systems\u201d, and that is fundamentally what they do.<br \/>\nHe therefore separates the two approaches clearly: \u201cA copilot helps engineers use the software, while an engineering intelligence software like ELECTRIX OS participates in the engineering itself.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;60&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221; el_id=&#8221;multi-model&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; el_class=&#8221;single_testimonial&#8221;]\n<blockquote style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><p>Because we don&#8217;t believe that one AI model can or should do everything.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Why ELECTRIX OS Uses a Multi-Model Architecture<\/h3>\n<p>ELECTRIX OS is built on a multi-model architecture. \u201cWhy?

Not in the sense of a virtual prototype or a digital twin, Zein clarifies. What the system builds is much closer to a semantic model of the machine.<br \/>\nThe system needs to understand what the machine is supposed to do, its functions and the requirements associated with them. When it receives requirements, it checks whether anything is missing. It also understands relationships: \u201cIf you change one requirement, it can track what else is affected.\u201d The same applies to standards, whose meaning the system can interpret as well.<br \/>\nThis changes the role of the drawing. \u201cSo drawing is no longer the model of the engineering problem.

They then switch to the CAD system and spend the rest of the day documenting the product they have developed in their head.<br \/>\nWith engineering intelligence, the day runs differently. The engineer tells the system the goal and provides the requirements, whether as Word documents, PDFs or in another form. The system works through everything, raises questions and points out what has not been defined. The engineer decides, makes changes and revalidates. The system then generates the CAD files in the CAD system of choice. \u201cSo probably around 10 or 10.30, you&#8217;re ready and you&#8217;re off to your next project. And guess what?

I don&#8217;t think that drawing will be at the centre of engineering anymore.\u201d<br \/>\nHe sums up the transition in a single sentence: \u201cCAD digitised the drawing and engineering intelligence software begins to digitise the engineering process itself.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#F2F2F2&#8243; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;20&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;20&#8243; left_padding_desktop=&#8221;20&#8243; right_padding_desktop=&#8221;20&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; row_position_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; id=&#8221;faq&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 300 !important; font-size: 22px !important;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794498765053{margin-bottom: 16px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>What is engineering intelligence?<\/h3>\n<p>Engineering intelligence is a new category of software described by WSCAD CEO Dr Axel Zein, built on an AI-native software architecture. Instead of starting in the CAD system, the engineer starts with the engineering objective. The software understands requirements and constraints, develops a technical solution and, once the engineer has approved it, uses the CAD system to execute and document it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794498771372{margin-bottom: 16px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>How does ELECTRIX OS differ from an AI copilot?<\/h3>\n<p>An AI copilot sits inside an application and helps the engineer operate it, for example by changing a wire colour or generating a bill of material. ELECTRIX OS sits above the CAD system, starts with engineering intent and participates in the engineering itself. The CAD system becomes the execution layer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794498779736{margin-bottom: 16px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>Why does ELECTRIX OS use several AI models?<\/h3>\n<p>WSCAD does not believe that one AI model can or should do everything. ELECTRIX OS uses a multi-model architecture, so different technologies can be used for different tasks, and companies can also switch to their own internal language models.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794498787708{margin-bottom: 16px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>Does ELECTRIX OS build a digital twin?<\/h3>\n<p>No. According to Dr Axel Zein, ELECTRIX OS builds something much closer to a semantic model of the machine. It understands what the machine is supposed to do, its functions and requirements, and the relationships between them. The drawing becomes one of the outputs of the engineering process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794498795100{margin-bottom: 16px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>Who is responsible for a design proposed by ELECTRIX OS?<\/h3>\n<p>The engineer. The system proposes, and the engineer approves, declines or redirects each proposal. Nothing happens without the engineer&#8217;s approval, and every important decision is documented and traceable back to the requirement, standard or engineering rule behind it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794498803349{margin-bottom: 16px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>Does engineering data leave the company?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Company-specific engineering knowledge, such as in-house engineering guidelines, stays inside the company, and much of the processing takes place on the user&#8217;s own machine or server. For industries such as aerospace or defence, ELECTRIX OS can switch to an internal LLM so that nothing leaves the company.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>How can engineering intelligence help with the shortage of experienced engineers?<\/h3>\n<p>ELECTRIX OS can embed the knowledge of a company&#8217;s most experienced engineers in the system and apply it automatically. This allows junior engineers to work with that know-how, while they remain the ones who approve each decision.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221;
