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.
Automation in the context of digital transformation maturity starts with “automating the mundane,” delegating dull, repetitive tasks that take up engineers’ time to computers and machines. Of course, that is not all automation can do. With enough time and investment, aerospace and defense companies (A&D) can begin instituting “authoritative automation” or taking more complex real-world activities and automating them digitally.
In this episode, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of the A&D Industry for Siemens Digital Industries Software, guides listeners on what authoritative automation entails, how it differs from the automation discussed in previous episodes, and what authoritative automation looks like in a relatable, non-A&D setting.
In this episode, you will learn:
The definition of authoritative automation
How authoritative automation differs from “automating the mundane”
How to get from automating the mundane to authoritative automation
A relatable example of authoritative automation outside the industry

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.
The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry often suffers from numerous mundane tasks that redirect most engineers’ time away from the engineering and critical thinking they were trained to do. To multiply the impact of their engineers, companies can automate these mundane tasks and get their engineers back on track. Successful implementation, however, may prove tricky for those who do not know what to watch out for.
Join Todd Tuthill, Vice President of the A&D Industry for Siemens Digital Industries Software, as he continues his discussion from the last episode on automating the mundane. In this episode, Todd talks about how companies can successfully automate their engineering processes and how that would not only require a technological shift, but also a cultural one.
In this episode, you will learn:
· How automation can help companies meet deadlines on time
· Where in an organization is a good place to start implementing automation
· Pitfalls to avoid when implementing automation
· The importance of building a culture that will accept new ways of engineering
· A hint of what comes after automating the mundane
