The initial situation: numerous isolated, ambiguous, and unmonitored silos containing product information relating to compressed air.

The vision: access to the required knowledge at the touch of a button.

The first result: the KAESER Knowledge Hub.

The aim of the current expansion phase is not only to find product data, but also to be able to compare it. Anyone thinking of a standard application here is mistaken. The product data had to be rewritten, enriched, and consolidated into a knowledge graph. The specially developed user interface, the KAESER Navigator, gives different users access to the information they need in their current context: worldwide and authorization-controlled.

The presentation highlights key aspects of this project and focuses in particular on its challenges – with the aim of providing inspiration on how to design a guide through your own product world.

Takeaways

Insights into the implementation of a knowledge hub with a semantic data structure, integrated user context, and global access, and how this approach can help break down information silos within your own company.

Biography

Karsten Schrempp studied mathematics and philosophy at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen. In the meantime, he has more than 20 years of self-employment in and with various well-known companies in the field of technical communication behind him.

In 2012 he founded PANTOPIX to consequently implement his way of topic-oriented and knowledge network-based information acquisition and provision in customer projects.

In doing so, he pursues two goals: In the background, every project needs clear and precise modeling. In the foreground, a solution must be created for each participant, regardless of whether he or she is involved. He leads his customers to these solutions in exciting and agile projects
