Hi All,

I'm an Electrical Engineer working in heavy industry, I have a mix of operational, design and projects experience. I wanted to get an idea of how other EEs are using AI in their day to day to speed up tasks and increase efficiency.

While I see some interesting use cases online I've yet to find any great use in my own workflow, here's a few examples of how I've used it (would like to hear yours):

• Feeding it downtime/SCADA Alarming spreadsheet dumps to help with pattern recognition (worked surprisingly well)
• Excel Macro writing, to assist in bulk procedure generation (setup tags in the procedure and have the excel sheet replace it)
• Review documents against drawings / poke holes in my ideas (often terrible but every now and again it picks up things I hadn't considered)
• Standard search, I've found better results specifying where it can get information - i.e. only look through Schneider files etc & link to exactly where you sourced your answer

I'm a big believer it won't replace engineers but do see it's usefulness in accelerating task efficiency, interested in any good ideas.
