SMU Steel Summit: Rühl Sees Digital Transformation in Steel's Future
Written by Tim Triplett
Imagine a steel industry where terabytes are more important than tons, where information rather than inventory is the most prized asset. Steel seems about as far removed from the realm of Silicon Valley as an industry could be, yet Gisbert Rühl, CEO of German metals company Klöckner, is convinced that steel companies must embrace digital technology today if they are to be successful tomorrow.
Rühl will share his philosophy on the need for “digital transformation” as a speaker at Steel Market Update’s 2018 Steel Summit Conference, set for Aug. 27-29 at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta.
