MANAGING DIRECTOR GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE , MANUFACTURING AND ENERGY AT GOOGLE CLOUD About Dominik Wee , Managing Director Global Automotive , Manufacturing and Energy at Google Cloud
My name is Dominik Wee , I am the Managing Director of Global Manufacturing and Industrial at Google Cloud . I am responsible for Google Cloud ' s global business with companies in this sector , including industrial goods , automotive OEMs and suppliers , electronics , energy , and aerospace .
However , there continues to be a large percentage of manufacturers who struggle to move beyond pilots and fail to scale new technologies into the production line . Wee attributes this to a lack of “ special skills required to implement and use these technologies in day-to-day operations . That is one of the reasons we are focused on bringing solutions to market that do not require any additional skills to use and are easy to get started with .”
Why is it Important to Embrace Digital in Manufacturing ? “ The manufacturing industry hasn ’ t yet benefited from cloud and AI technology to the same extent as other verticals ,” explains Wee , but this is something that Google Cloud hopes to change .
