How AI Is Giving Engineers More Time to Focus on Innovation
Insights from Pradeep Paul featured in Control Design
In a recent article by Control Design, Pradeep Paul, E Tech Group’s Director of Manufacturing Intelligence, shares how artificial intelligence is streamlining repetitive engineering tasks and creating space for higher-level innovation.
Pradeep explains that while the industry is still exploring practical, deployable uses of AI—especially large language models (LLMs)—the value lies in pairing AI with traditional tools like data analytics and machine learning to enhance productivity. At E Tech Group, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Here’s how AI is transforming engineering roles:
- Reducing Repetitive Work: AI-powered tools are helping engineers write and optimize code faster, minimizing time spent on manual, repetitive tasks.
- Automating SCADA Tagging: E Tech has developed an AI-assisted tool that automates the creation of SCADA tags from spreadsheets—cutting the task from 24 hours to just four.
- Broadening the Talent Pool: With the right AI tools, engineers no longer need deep programming expertise to contribute meaningfully. This shift is changing the way we hire and build teams.
As Pradeep puts it, “AI is not about replacing engineers—it’s about empowering them.” The goal is to give engineers more time to focus on designing solutions, solving complex problems, and driving innovation forward.
