Find out more about the Masterclass Joachim attended here: http://bit.ly/2WtUWG4 If you think back to the early days of tailoring, there was always a one on one connection between a tailor and a customer. Then we industrialised everything and became more detached from the brand and the product. Today’s technology brings incredible opportunities to bring that connection back, and that is Joachim Hensch’s mission with his Hugo Boss factory in Izmir: creating a big, smart tailor shop allowing for mass customisation. BUT…turning an existing, successful plant into a smart factory is not easy and it’s Joachim’s ample amounts of curiosity, persistence and boldness that allowed him to make it happen. We are proud to have had an influence on Joachim’s journey by making him realise it’s not about buying devices but building a second, digital ecosystem. Watch the latest episode of The Boardroom featuring Managing Director of Hugo Boss Izmir Joachim Hensch – creating a tailored production process, one thread at a time.

Mr. Hensch is talking about his very first career steps as a tailor and how he took this haute couture "maker" knowledge to transform for current times with all its technical abilities and also to his current position and the management of 3700 people in one place with an abundance of information and endless activities at the same time. As a consequence, creating a digital Twin to better predict the future and to proactively manage the factory is an important factor for future success. And this is not linked to famous places like Silicon Valley, but can be done today and everywhere from everyone. So did he and started his journey in 2015. Nowadays, AI initiatives helps to manage the digital factory in advance of the physical one. The future belongs to the one who build it. https://www.linkedin.com/in/joachim-hensch-53525315/ This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Industry 4.0, IoT, IIot, Smart Factory, Smart Manufacturing, Digital Shadow, Digital Twin – a lot of concepts to study and to follow, but how can we actually implement these principles and does it all make sense for us? Is there an alternative – moving to cheaper countries like in the past or stay and evolve? HBTR found its very personal way to cope with these questions and decided to stay and aim to be a leader in the fields of change in the apparel manufacturing industry. This presentation is a “current still-life” of this journey and hopes to inspire others to join. How can we refocus ourselves towards different business rules and how can we inspire our workforce to follow us on that journey? Technology first – Human first ?
