New Research Report – June 2026The Strategic Shift Toward Embracing Intelligence in EngineeringA joint research by Everest Group and Cyient
Why This Report Matters for Engineering Leaders
Everest Group showcases why 62–70% of AI-first PoCs stall before production —structural reasons behind it.
Deep dives into engineering verticals — each with specific AI challenges, integration patterns, and use cases.
Insightful structured framework to move from PoC to production — business case, domain integration, governance, talent, and partnerships.
Best practice for assessing ecosystem partners — service providers, tech vendors, and research institutions — for engineering-grade AI.
Proven approach for embedding AI within engineering architecture and lifecycle governance.

Industries Covered
TRANSPORTATION
Spanning Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, and Rail—sectors bound by strict certification and safety standards. How intelligence embeds across design, MRO, and system control to deliver validated gains without disrupting proven systems.
ENERGY &
UTILITIES
Balancing rising demand with sustainability, intelligence integrated with equipment, plant, and grid expertise. The report spans grid operations, generation systems, and distributed assets—improving forecasting and reliability while preserving operational discipline.
TELECOM &
CONNECTIVITY
With networks shifting to software-defined, multi-vendor architectures under five-nines availability, the report explores intelligence across next-gen networks, digital operations, and strategic control—boosting coverage, capacity, and efficiency while keeping engineering oversight central.
MINING
Operating under volatile, resource-constrained conditions, mining demands a problem-first approach. The report covers orebody planning, production optimization, and asset safety—anchoring intelligence to core metrics like throughput, recovery, downtime, and cost efficiency.
HEALTHCARE &
LIFE SCIENCES
In regulated environments where decisions affect patient safety, intelligence must prove evidence and explainability. The report spans device design, manufacturing and quality, and connected care—enhancing decisions within clinical frameworks rather than replacing expertise.
