However, digitalization at the product level is only part of it - processes and departments such as development, production, quality and sales must also be taken into account and "digitalized".

A key advantage of us as an SME compared to larger companies, where complex structures often lead to a certain lethargy, is certainly our agility. We can try out ideas very fast and also implement them quickly. We have to actively play on this potential for agility. Philipp Osl, CEO at ELPRO
