?? Rückblick auf die Circular Valley Convention 2025 ?? Vergangene Woche waren wir auf der Circular Valley Convention im Areal B?hler – und es war gro?artig! ?? Hut ab, Messe Düsseldorf GmbH Kirstin Deutelmoser, Philip Scheffler, Andreas Mucke, Dr. Christian Plenge, für die gro?artige Organisation und einen tollen Auftakt für die CVC - es macht Lust auf mehr! Inspirierende Keynotes, praxisnahe Pitches und wertvolle Gespr?che zeigten, wie essenziell Kreislaufwirtschaft für eine nachhaltige Zukunft ist. Besonders hervorzuheben: viele neue Kontakte! ?? ?? Unser Highlight: Unsere Masterclass ??????????????????? ????????????: ???????? ?????? ?????????????????? ???? ????????????“ mit Christine Curtius war ein voller Erfolg! Gemeinsam mit ESG-X, CES, C.Ed. Schulte GmbH Zylinderschlossfabrik, Fero Labs, CIYANO & MotionLab.Berlin haben wir diskutiert, wie Unternehmen ESG-Reporting als Wachstumstreiber nutzen und nachhaltige Gesch?ftsmodelle vorantreiben k?nnen. ?? Danke für die spannenden Einblicke und eure Beitr?ge! ?? Unsere Key-Takeaways: ?? Viele Mittelst?ndler tun sich mit ESG-Reporting schwer, doch richtig genutzt, bietet es enorme Chancen und kurz- bis mittelfristiges Potenzial. ?? Green-Tech-Startups haben l?ngere Entwicklungszyklen – deshalb sind flexible Finanzierungsmodelle wie Venture Debt, Public Grants und Kundenfinanzierungen zusammen mit einer soliden Equity-Ausstattung entscheidend. ?? Nachhaltige Technologien brauchen gezielte politische Unterstützung und die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen, um ihren erfolgreichen Markteintritt zu schaffen. Ein gro?es Dankesch?n an alle Speaker, Partner und Besucher für den wertvollen Austausch! ?? Wir freuen uns auf die n?chsten Schritte – und natürlich auf die n?chste Circular Valley Convention am 11. und 12. M?rz 2026 im Areal B?hler! ?? Eindrücke vom Event gibt’s in den Bildern! #CircularEconomy #GreenTech #ESG

We don't like keeping secrets -but this one is worth the wait! Stand by for an announcement in the morning!!.. ? ??

Engineers: How many hours per week do you realistically spend analyzing production data to identify trends and potential issues? ?? Less than 5 hours? ?? 5-10 hours? ?? 11-15 hours? ?? 15+ hours? Weigh-in on the poll below. ??How do you compare with an AI-assisted peer? ? AI can cut data analysis time up to 65%. ? 63% of process engineers report spending more time collecting & organizing data than actually analyzing it. ? AI-assisted engineers using Fero Labs typically spend only 3-4 hours per week on the same volume of data with 27% higher insight generation. What would an 'AI-assisted You' do with 65% more bandwidth each week? Speak with a Fero AI Expert to find more ways you can save time: https://lnkd.in/eU2ek4GM

It's great to see that there's a focus to better train LLMs - but its error rate is why genAI is not accurate enough for industrial purposes. This is why Fero's AI is purpose-built for heavy industry and is trained on each individual plant's needs and unique process requirements.

A day in the life of a process engineer or quality technician.. Imagine if there was a simple tool that could detect & prevent issues before they impact production. ?? We can help. https://lnkd.in/e9CGUCWt #feroalerts #ferodiagnostics #feroAI

We asked Claude AI to describe what the world might look like without engineers. Not surprisingly, the outlook would be very bleak. "Engineers are far more than technical workers; they are the architects of industrial civilization. Their absence would not just slow progress—it would fundamentally unravel the complex, interconnected systems that support modern life." (Claude AI, keeping it light when asked to describe a world without engineers.) The absence of engineers in critical industrial sectors would cause immediate infrastructure collapse. Without process, quality, & technical engineers in steel production, chemical manufacturing, and oil and gas industries, the world would rapidly descend into a state of technological and infrastructural breakdown. These engineers are the critical backbone of modern industrial civilization, ensuring safety, efficiency, and innovation across multiple fundamental sectors. ?? Steel Production Catastrophe In a world without engineering oversight: ?? Steel manufacturing would become extremely dangerous and unpredictable ?? Production quality would plummet, leading to structural failures in: --Building construction --Bridge and infrastructure development --Vehicle and transportation manufacturing --Machinery and industrial equipment production ?? Without precise metallurgical expertise, steel would become inconsistent, prone to fracturing, and unsuitable for critical applications like construction, automotive, and aerospace industries ?? Chemical & Petroleum Industry Risks The absence of process and quality engineers in chemical and oil/gas sectors would create catastrophic scenarios: ?? Massive safety risks in chemical processing plants ?? Uncontrolled chemical reactions leading to potential environmental disasters ?? Inefficient extraction and processing of petroleum products ?? Increased probability of industrial accidents, chemical spills, and uncontrolled emissions ?? Complete breakdown of pharmaceutical, agricultural, and materials manufacturing that rely on precise chemical processes ?? Economic & Societal Implications An engineering void would trigger devastating economic & societal implications including massive unemployment across the industrial sectors, a dramatic reduction in technological innovation, significant decline in global economic productivity, & increased environmental damage from unregulated industrial processes. ?? Safety & Regulatory Vacuum The disappearance of quality and process engineers would eliminate rigorous safety protocols, quality control mechanisms, a systematic approach to industrial risk management, and standards for product consistency and reliability. This is why we build AI to support these critical architects of industrial civilization and heroes of industry who keep our world growing, innovating, and moving. Society depends on them. #engineers #engineeringexcellence #AIforengineers #AIforpeople #ferolabs

Why aren't plants ?? making the most out of their production or AI tools? We found that engineers are almost entirely in 'reactive' mode. Their time is spent putting out unexpected fires - so they lack bandwidth to focus on process optimization and efficiency activities. Sadly, sustainability initiatives are an even lower priority than this. A survey that we ran in 2024 indicated that sustainability initiatives were of the lowest priority to frontline workers like engineers and metallurgists. Support Your Frontline Team with Fero Labs AI Think less about what AI can do for your plant, and more about what AI can do for your skilled workers. Your biggest performance shift will come from seeing how AI can support your team to perform tasks faster and easier. The Fero Labs AI suite is helping engineers to fix issues 90x faster, prevent new issues from impacting production, and to optimize processes to drive greater profits and sustainability. We call this Profitable Sustainability. How does Fero AI accomplish this? The objective is to get the team out of reactive mode and into proactive activation mode. Preventing issues, fixing problems faster with longterm solutions, and using AI to explore and deploy process efficiencies to reduce wasted resources and improve output. Using explainable real time anomaly alerts, Fero AI will take over many of the mundane but time-consuming tasks like constant monitoring, incident reporting, or fixing issues that could have been prevented. Our AI-powered diagnostics automatically pinpoint the exact cause of an issue in minutes or seconds, rather than hours or days, so engineers can fix the cause and not the symptom - and to set an alert so they can get ahead of the issue if it can potentially occur again. And so they can spend less time fixing, more time on improvement initiatives or bringing high quality products to market faster. ?? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e9CGUCWt
