Sponsor Showcase: Connecting Atoms and Bits: Unlocking Savings for Manufacturing Companies
AI has changed how we work with bits: software, documents, workflows. The next frontier is atoms: the parts manufacturers buy, where most of their cost sits. Connect the two and you get the perfect buy: every part at the right price, from the right supplier, at the right time. In this live demo, Johannes Groll starts from a single part, shows what it should cost and how far you are from the perfect buy, then prepares the negotiation to close the gap. Your buyers make the call; AI does the legwork across thousands of parts
