With over 20 years of hands-on experience in concept-design, development, management, and implementation of robotics and automation solutions worldwide, I am a technology manager and robotics expert at the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), Robot Technology. I have state-of-the-art knowledge on the use of robotics and the barriers for implementing them in the industry, based on countless visits to production companies and working with various brands of robots, vision-systems, sensors, plc's, pneumatics, mechanics, and pc-program development.As a certified project manager (PMP) and an innovation management specialist, I have participated in several research and innovation projects on a European level and coordinated the activities of DIRA, the Danish network for suppliers and users of industrial automation and robot technology. My goal is to improve the productivity in manufacturing by applying automation and robot technology, and to supply smart and innovative solutions for the end-users in collaboration with technology suppliers and integrators. I have a huge network in the robotics area and a passion for automated processes and their potential for optimization.
