“The smart factory is within easy reach at Continental. Partners such as KINEXON play a major role in this endeavor. KINEXON is a good example of the fact that it is not really so much about what technology can do. Rather, it is about how you can leverage technology to create applications that are focused and efficient; applications that contribute to our vision and could be seamlessly integrated into our existing global concept. Our partners at KINEXON recognize this and have consequently provided our project team with proactive and resultoriented advice throughout our journey. If we keep progressing in this way across all areas, I am very optimistic that we will reduce costs very quickly through our smart factory.”
