Ilkay Özkisaoglu, Co-Founder of Composites Lounge asks Dr. Alexander Chaloupka, CTO of sensXPERT - Optimizing Plastics Manufacturing what the moment was that it became clear to him that material characterization could be taken a step further?

Alexander, during his tenure at Fraunhofer, was diving deep into material characterization with different equipment and different technologies. He says "... I was looking into different parameters of material".

This is when he created a vision that there must be a way of creating the same information within the manufacturing, based on different sensor technologies, to really bridge the gap and to bring the two worlds together.

Listen in this episode what challenges he had to overcome with the mindset of many experts "... based on the results I have generated at the same time, I could see there is no match between what the experts have told me that it's not possible and the experience I have gained and the knowledge I have gained so far, and that drove me forward"

Which is why he paved his own way.

You will hear more about "specific algorithms to generate new information out of measuring or measurement data from the manufacturing" and "...that was when it was clear to me that I shouldn't just listen to the experts that are there that have done things so many years."

Join this truly inspiring podcast episode, where many of you, working in the engineering space will surely relate to.

Also, please listen to the product that was presented during JEC World 2024 by Alexander. We thank the JEC Group for the stage recording.
