Na co dzień pomagam producentom przechodzić przez proces transformacji cyfrowej, dzięki czemu zwiększają oni bezpieczeństwo swoich produktów, podnoszą efektywność operacyjną parków maszynowych i lepiej wykorzystują potencjał pracowniczy.

Wieloletnie doświadczenie, studia na Wydziale Automatyki, Elektroniki i Informatyki (AEI) Politechniki Śląskiej i ciągła ciekawość skierowały mnie na tory edukacji. Jako członek globalnej organizacji – Forbes Technology Council – mam dostęp do aktualnych badań i wiedzy międzynarodowych specjalistów z branży. Aktywnie dzielę się także swoimi spostrzeżeniami na łamach Forbes.com.

Jako mentor fundacji Youth Business Poland staram się natomiast wspierać początkujących przedsiębiorców, a jako autor książki „15 kroków do zakupu systemu informatycznego” – ułatwiać zakładom produkcyjnym proces zakupu rozwiązań informatycznych.

Ponadto prowadzę kanał YouTube Digitalizuj.pl oraz blog AdrianStelmach.com, na których poruszam między innymi takie tematy, jak:

▪️ Zarządzanie zmianą technologiczną w organizacji.

▪️ Proces zakupu nowych technologii w zakładzie produkcyjnym.

▪️ Pokonywanie wyzwań w projektach cyfryzacji.

▪️ Rozwój, struktura i kondycja polskiego przemysłu.

▪️ Znaczenie przemysłu dla gospodarki i rola ESG w kreowaniu misji organizacji.

▪️ Wpływ nowych technologii (w tym AI) na zatrudnienie.

Jestem przekonany, że przyszłość przemysłu produkcyjnego leży w pełnej digitalizacji, przejrzystości procesów i zrównoważonym rozwoju. Dlatego jako założyciel i CEO explitia rozwijam oprogramowanie wspierające zakłady produkcyjne m.in. w: ▪️ Zmniejszaniu kosztów operacyjnych. ▪️ Optymalizacji pracy. ▪️ Wzmocnieniu bezpieczeństwa. ▪️ Poprawie jakości produkcji. W pracy zwracam uwagę m.in. na rozwiązania wspierające transparentność produktu. Dzięki czemu producenci mogą zarządzać parkiem maszynowym w sposób elastyczny i bardziej odporny na zmiany oraz oferować lepsze i tańsze wyroby.

Automatyzacja przepływu danych jest natomiast fundamentem do wdrożenia wielu nowoczesnych rozwiązań technologicznych. Sprawia również, że ludzie mogą koncentrować się na bardziej wartościowych działaniach i maksymalnie wykorzystać swój potencjał. Prowadzę klientów przez proces transformacji cyfrowej, oferując: doradztwo, szkolenia, pomoc w usprawnieniu procesów biznesowych, integrację danych z urządzeń oraz personalizację rozwiązań informatycznych.

Jeremiah Landi started his career as a “GO’FER” in an architecture firm (98’) and made his way into an animatronics creator for shows like Phantom of the Opera (10’); little did he know that the skills he picked up along his journey would play very synergistically within a highly technical, rigid world and within the Government Bureaucracy, even putting him in front of the US Congress (08’).

Throughout his career, he has traveled the world working in a range of different project environments (Nobel Prize to ESPN) and cultural environments having worked through both the “America's” and all around Europe (with a little Asia).

He enjoys bringing dynamic thought processes and design first problem-solving to many different companies now through his own company deploying products (i.e.military helicopter fuel pumps, basketball medical devices) and Modified Agile Hardware Development (MAHD). The company he started back in 2016 now spans from physical manufacturing (i.e. stamping, welding, 3D printing) to algorithmic software development (i.e. traveling salesman); so it is easy to say the problems he solves aren’t easily fixed in a remote world.
