Deep Dive 1 How to get data into the platformom
Michael Muck
Innovation Team Lead & Cloud Solutions Architect
ZEISS Digital Innovation

How do you get from distributed data sources to a future-ready data platform? Michael Muck shares his experience in designing modern data and cloud architectures and highlights challenges, architectural approaches, and key success factors from industrial practice.

Deep Dive 2 Data utilization & use cases
Marco Grafe
Solution Specialist
ZEISS Digital Innovation

The value of a data platform only becomes visible through its application. Drawing on his experience in Industry 4.0 and data-driven manufacturing, Marco Grafe uses real-world examples to demonstrate how organizations can leverage production data to gain transparency, generate insights, and unlock new opportunities.

Deep Dive 3 From the AI idea to successful scaling
Maximilian Reichel
GenAI Engineer
ZEISS Digital Innovation

Many AI initiatives fail not because of the technology, but due to a lack of structures and processes. Maximilian Reichel demonstrates how companies leverage governance, enablement, and collaboration to successfully implement AI applications and scale them for the long term.

Experiences of former participants

  • This Barcamp format is a wonderful opportunity to address your own challenges as openly as possible and discuss them with people outside  our normal working environment. By sharing different experiences, new  solutions can emerge that benefit both yourself and others. Even if you don't bring your own topic to the table, the topics offered in the exchange will definitely broaden your horizons for your own professional life.

    Ralf Krause GlobalFoundries
  • Participating in the Barcamp at ZEISS Digital Innovation was an inspiring and enriching experience. The open format allowed participants to bring their own topics, which worked exceptionally well and led to vibrant discussions and
    constructive exchanges The event also sparked several compelling ideas that we plan to implement in an adapted form, tailored to our context. I look  forward to future opportunities to engage in such events.
