Promoting innovation and agility
The Digital Hubs offer the speed, agility and workflow of a start-up. Always on site, therefore, are data analysts, specialists for digital projects and the Internet of Things. Charles Vaillant, Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Digital Officer, explains: "Our Digital Hub offices are available to all MANN+HUMMEL employees. For example, a colleague who is currently working on software in Singapore can help the Aftermarket team in Ludwigsburg to develop a new digital solution. That would not have been possible at all without this global collaboration."
The digital hubs not only offer numerous benefits for employees, but above all for customers from various business areas.
