UST Expands into Physical AI with Claude

UST, a technology and engineering services company, is collaborating with Anthropic to integrate Claude into manufacturing and engineering environments. UST is training 20,000 engineers and consultants worldwide on Claude, accelerating the realization of Physical AI, where hardware and software come together.

In particular, this is driving innovation in the design verification stage of the semiconductor and automotive industries. UST's platform iDEC uses Claude as a reasoning layer to perform the following tasks:

• Automated Design Verification: Claude Code directly reads Schematics and Pinouts, automatically generating and running regression tests that engineers used to write manually.
• Digital Twin Comparison: It compares real-time data from actual equipment with a software model, the digital twin, to detect firmware regressions and signal integrity errors early.
• Increased Efficiency: Through this closed-loop pipeline, verification cycles have been shortened from the previous 4 days to 48 hours, a 50-70% reduction.

Beyond this, UST is also using Claude to integrate AI into platforms across various industries—including healthcare (data analysis and care management via CarePath), telecommunications (network failure prediction via IntelliOps), and finance—to boost operational efficiency.
