"In the think tank, we observe the digital world. We focus on disruptive technologies that have the potential to change a great deal. We are investigating whether and how we can use them for SICK. The Metaverse - and here for us as SICK the Industrial Metaverse in particular - is one such technology." Explains Arnd Sörensen , Project Manager

Deep Learning as a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has become increasingly important in recent years due to the increasing availability of data and computing power. The technology is revolutionizing automation in production and other areas by enabling machines to perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. Dr. Christoph Eichhorn, Strategic Product Manager for Digital Services and Solutions at SICK, explains how Deep Learning is revolutionizing automation and production.

Welcome back to another episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast! I'm your host, Tom Raftery, and today I had the pleasure of speaking with Henrik Müller-Hansen, the  Founder and CEO of Gelato. In our fascinating discussion, we explored the inner workings of Gelato's global, decentralized print-on-demand network and how it's enabling local production and distribution.

Henrik shared his insights on how Gelato is reducing the environmental impact of the printing industry while addressing the challenges of evolving consumer trends, sustainability, and a polarized world. We also talked about how consumer-generated content is pushing local production, making the global supply chain more efficient and sustainable.

Throughout our conversation, we touched on the importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors and how they play a crucial role in Gelato's business model. We also discussed the exciting future of 3D printing and how it has the potential to revolutionize the e-commerce landscape.

We wrapped up by talking about the major trends shaping the future of supply chains, including sustainability, legislation, and the rapid advancements in printing technology. Henrik offered his thoughts on how these trends are driving demand for local production and distribution solutions like Gelato.

If you're interested in learning more about Gelato, the future of printing, and how local production can help create a more sustainable world, you won't want to miss this episode. So, sit back, relax, and join us on this journey into the world of decentralized print-on-demand networks!

For years, the use of robots in production was an image one encountered primarily in the automotive industry. Behind high fences, huge robotic arms assembled heavy car body parts. But robots have changed and their tasks now cover a very broad spectrum. Flexible collaboration between humans and robots is the crowning achievement - without fences, without pre-programmed sequences, and still safe at all times. Fanny Platbrood, Head of Strategic Product Management at SICK, explains what it takes to achieve this. 

In 75 years, SICK has grown from a small southern German company to a global player with more than 10,000 employees. How can SICK maintain the balance between the global network and its local nodes? What effect does a company’s globalization have on its culture and values? And how does the corporate culture support ‘internal’ globalization? 

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Mats Gökstorp, CEO of SICK, to discuss these issues. 

TNC's CEO, John Waterhouse interviews Matt Jago, Head of Information Systems Operations at Sightsavers, for the 4th Down The Wire Podcast Episode: How to Build, Deploy and Manage an Agile Global Network.

Matt Jago is one of the highest profile IT leaders in the UK, both as a result of his work at Sightsavers, as well as his long term contribution to the Charity IT Leaders organisation, which brings together CIOs from the UK’s largest charities and NGOs.

With the rise of cloud-based applications, a huge increase in the agility requirement for network and telecoms, and the vast uptake of remote working as a result of Covid, many organisations are scrambling to build new infrastructures to support these new challenges.  

Matt and his team have spent many years developing innovative ways to deliver network and telephony services to their global users.  As a result Sightsavers has been very early adopters of some strategies that are now becoming much more mainstream, including using internet services delivered by local ISPs instead of MPLS, and cloud-based telephony.  Crucially, Matt and his team have developed a very agile operating model to support these solutions.

We are living in a project economy where products, services, and ideas are developed  through the global exchange of knowledge. However, what are we talking about when we talk about working knowledge?

In this podcast, Laurence Prusak will discuss how the most successful teams and organizations find, create, nurture, and distribute knowledge for the ultimate competitive advantage. Larry is the co-author of several of the most successful management books on this subject , ‘Working Knowledge: How Organizations Manage What They Know,’ and ‘What’s the Big Idea? Creating and Capitalizing on the Best Management Thinking.’ Larry discusses with PMI COO, Joe Cahill, how working knowledge is very different from data and information. He will also discuss how organizations capitalize on effective knowledge and why knowledge is profoundly social.
