Stephan Hotz is Co-Founder & CEO of Marentis, an Industrial AI company building the intelligence system for industrial assets, bringing the AI revolution from the digital world into factories, machines and physical manufacturing operations. He was previously Chief Product & Technology Officer at Wandelbots, helping scale a deep-tech robotics software company and working with leading manufacturers to make industrial automation more accessible and software-driven. Factories generate enormous machine, quality, process and maintenance data, but most never becomes better decisions on the shop floor. Marentis turns that fragmented knowledge into a reasoning layer that helps engineers understand problems faster, improve output, reduce downtime and capture expertise across plants.
