DigitalituM Podcast - At the Intersection of Manufacturing and Digital Transformation

Manufacturing has its challenges. Digital Transformation has its challenges.

Welcome to the DigitalituM Podcast, where we delve into the intersection of manufacturing and digital transformation.

Manufacturing, a cornerstone of our global economy, faces various challenges—from optimizing production processes to ensuring quality control and maintaining a skilled workforce. In parallel, the digital transformation journey presents its own set of hurdles. Integrating new technologies, managing data, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement are just a few of the obstacles companies encounter.

In this biweekly podcast, we'll discuss these problems and, more importantly, the solutions making a real difference on the shop floor. We'll dive into how cutting-edge digital technologies like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are being leveraged to address specific use cases. Whether it's enhancing training programs, improving machine maintenance, or optimizing production workflows, these technologies pave the way for smarter, more efficient manufacturing operations.

In the DigitalituM Podcast, we introduce you to some of the industry's leading voices and peers at the forefront of this digital revolution. They'll share their insights, experiences, and the transformative impact of digital tools in their respective fields.

So, please sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the intersection of manufacturing and digital transformation.

From LinkedIn:
After leaving school I decided to study mechanical engineering and business administration at RWTH Aachen University. After a few semesters, I joined a student consulting firm and managed international projects in the manufacturing space.

Instead of continuing as managing director in that enterprise, I decided to take on a new challenge after graduating from RWTH. I joined the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology as a researcher in 2013. After working in international research, consulting projects, and publishing scientific articles in the rising space of Industry 4.0, the technology push/hype of smart glasses and augmented reality caught my interest. Developing the first software prototypes and selling to companies like Bosch created the right momentum to spin off these activities from Fraunhofer and start a company together with my two co-founders in 2016.
