The focus is on topics such as automation, robotics, digitalization, maintenance and upkeep, as well as large relocation projects. This is not just about theoretical future scenarios, but about concrete practical examples, proven use cases, functioning workflows, and personal insights from our experts.  <\/p><p>The podcast from SPIE Automation GmbH shows how modern automation works in industry and the people who make it possible.<\/p><p><strong>Pilot Episode: Challenging Supply Chains and 90 Control Cabinets at Once<br\/><\/strong>In the first episode, host Sabrina Schuhmacher talks with Peter Kraus, purchasing expert at the SPIE AUTOMATION site in Ha\u00dffurt. Together, they take a look behind the scenes of an area that is often underestimated. What happens when the delivery of important components is delayed? How does SPIE AUTOMATION deal with global material shortages and fluctuating delivery times? And why isn&#8217;t good purchasing simply &#8220;just&#8221; about being on the phone?    <\/p><p>Peter Kraus takes listeners into his diverse daily work: from price negotiations and supply chain planning to logistics for control cabinets and machines. It quickly becomes clear: when many projects run in parallel and, for example, 90 control cabinets leave the factory at the same time, it doesn&#8217;t just require digital tools and good processes. Above all, it requires a team that works together, thinks proactively, and finds solutions even when things get tight.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7494135 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7494135\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spie-automation.com\/en\/services\/manufacture\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More info about our production<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf22b7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bf22b7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Why it&#8217;s worth listening<br\/><\/strong>SPIE AutoMate is aimed at anyone who wants to know how industrial automation is created in practice.
