Building on a more than 10 years of experience with MES across different companies and profound knowledge of Smart Manufacturing, IoT/IIoT and Industry 4.0, Stefan joined Georg Fischer at the business unit GF Casting Solutions. There he took the opportunity to lead the companies Industry 4.0 journey on a global scale. His biggest accomplishment is understanding that not the recording of data but the usage of data is what matters and delivering this work method to his peers. This supports his belief  that Smart Manufacturing is not about the technology which will be used but that the biggest opportunity across manufacturing is to enable the people to make the difference. Your digital culture centered around your people, helps them make better decisions and embrace their creativity, innovation, imagination, intuition, ethics and emotions.
