ADDA — Battery Defect Analytics
Cut time-to-root-cause on Renata HLL2: VALTR + MQTT ingest, DuckDB warehouse, investigation UI on the factory floor — quality finds defects under production pressure.
Achievements
Proof points from manufacturing leadership and hands-on platform delivery — ownership, risk, and systems that stay up.
- Head of OT, IT & ISM at Renata (Swatch Group) — governance and delivery in one mandate
- 20+ years from shop-floor automation to industrial data platforms
- ADDA live on Renata HLL2 — forensic battery-defect path from ingest to floor UI
- Production EMQX/MQTT architecture for battery manufacturing
- Open-source mcp-server-motherduck — agent-safe DuckDB / MotherDuck access
- Open-source analytics agents and DuckDB workshop patterns
Highlights
Industrial MQTT / EMQX
Keep OT isolation intact while PLCs, SCADA, and analytics share production data over a live EMQX backbone. Reference: iiot.marcstrub.com.
Security + delivery in one role
Own ISM and OT/IT without stepping away from schemas, pipelines, UIs, and night-shift incidents — risk stays with the person who can fix what breaks.
Open source with a regulated mindset
Ship MCP and agent tooling with explicit database boundaries — patterns teams need before AI meets industrial data.
