What role does AI play in the successful transition of the industry?

Elias Küpper (CEO @RIZM), Andreas Schick (COO @Schaffler) and Markus Achtert (Managing Director @Volkswagen ETS) discussed this at the Handelsblatt AI Summit at the Greentech Festival.

Moderated by Kevin Knitterscheidt (Head of News @Handelsblatt), the participants in the panel discussions discussed the challenges of transition and presented shared successes.

"As a leading motion technology company and soon to be one of the ten largest suppliers in the world, we need almost 3 terawatt hours of energy to meet our needs. One thing is certain: without digital tools and AI, the efficient use of renewable energy will not be possible in the future."

Andreas Schick, COO @Schaffler

Schaeffler and Volkswagen both rely on RIZM and reaffirm the role of software in the competitive decarbonization of their sites.

"We have everything we need to significantly reduce the energy costs of the Volkswagen plants. The technologies are there - RIZM has proven this to us several times. Now we just have to boldly apply what we have learned. "

Markus Achtert, Managing Director Volkswagen Energy Transition Services.
