E39: Alex Krüger - Open Source for Manufacturing (Frontier #2)
The manufacturing sector has some catching up to do. To make full use of the shop floor, physical infrastructure and digital solutions (including the likes of AI and computer vision) must integrate seamlessly with one another - there's no simple existing solution for this.
Alex Krüger is looking to change this as co-founder and COO of United Manufacturing Hub - who are putting the most powerful IT tools directly in the hands of engineers. Through their open source model, they allow companies to manage IoT infrastructure to unlock the full potential of their manufacturing processes at scale.
We cover: Alex's company UMH, his journey from university straight into entrepreneurship, the benefits of open source, the manufacturing industry and how it lags other sectors technologically, how to sell to enterprise clients, marketing your software, different investing styles of VCs, European vs USA investment attitudes, the role of AI in manufacturing, and the shutting of the last Germany nuclear power plant.
