3 questions for Michael Kaiser

An interview with Michael Kaiser, an information systems engineer, who heads Endress+Hauser’s flow management systems business.

Full steam ahead

The global maritime cargo fleet constantly traverses the seas, playing a vital role in the world’s supply chains. And while there are moves to make cargo ships more environmentally and climate friendly, the alternative fuels this requires pose new challenges for bunkering.

Total transparency

For supply chains, transparency is key, and it starts with effective inventory management. Here, digitalization is driving solutions for a wealth of new applications – such as level monitoring in mobile, decentralized storage tanks and silos. The customer benefits range from efficiency gains to completely new business models.

Global supply chains are under mounting pressure from geopolitical tensions, complex regulatory landscapes, resource shortages and production bottlenecks. Endress+Hauser counters these challenges with end-to-end transparency to deliver efficiency and stability – for customers and in its own operations.
