Andreas Witt (Past Speaker)

Andreas leads software development within the R&D division of TRUMPF and has a global team of 300 people. His biggest career success to date is the transformation of the organisation to a truly agile development team. The biggest opportunity in manufacturing is the smart automation of  production processes, the first autonomous machines and eventually autonomous factories. This is not only about making the process flow better but making manufacturing intelligent and self-improving by applying AI which in turn needs data. The biggest challenge will be in making that data widely available so that we can all benefit from it.
