Connectivity for Enabling AI In Manufacturing Use Cases : Prof Dr Bernd Hafenrichter - CTO of soffico GmbH,

AI’s success in manufacturing depends on the ability to seamlessly integrate data from machines and systems across the factory floor and supply chain.

Without strong connectivity, AI remains underutilized, limited by data silos, and inconsistent integration.

Connectivity isn’t just about linking devices; it’s about creating a unified data environment where AI can operate at its full potential—powering everything from predictive maintenance to automated quality control and beyond.

To learn more about IT/OT connectivity for enabling AI use cases in manufacturing I had a conversation with Bernd Hafenrichter who is the CTO of soffico GmbH.
