The increasing digitization in engineering is leading to a steadily growing data base. This creates new opportunities to strategically use data for the analysis, diagnosis, and optimization of technical systems. In this context, generative AI (GenAI) is gaining significance in various engineering application fields, as it helps to process extensive and complex data faster and supports informed decision-making.
