🗓️ June 27, 2024
📍Pfingstweidstrasse 60, 8005 Zürich - 6th floor

1st edition with two speakers:

Topic 1:
🎤 Mathias Pawlowsky - Head of Data Science at Planted
➡️ How Planted ramps up food production faster with Grafana's single pane of glass?

Plant-based meat is a rapidly growing industry, driven by the increasing demand from consumers seeking to reduce their animal meat consumption without sacrifice. In this highly competitive market, the speed of product improvement, innovation, and production ramp-up is crucial.

In this session, Mathias Pawlowsky will discuss how the Zurich-based food tech company utilizes Grafana as the single pane of glass for all production data, and how that easy access to data enables better and faster decisions, faster ramp-ups, and ultimately the delivery of more plant-based protein to the world. You will hear how Grafana’s core features help the production team monitor machines and analyse process data for root cause analysis, and how Grafana’s extensibility through plugins allows them to collect human input through the data manipulation panel, analyse images, and even control machines through API calls with the Infinity plugin.
