Summary
Oliver Hankel is a Solution Manager with 11 years of experience designing cloud-native, IIoT and industrial software solutions across manufacturing, aviation, and controlled-environment agriculture. He combines hands-on engineering (PLC, .NET/C#, JavaEE) and cloud architecture (Azure, edge computing) with product and program leadership to turn complex requirements—like indoor farming control systems and condition monitoring for aircraft—into scalable, secure platforms. His background blends technical consulting, product ownership and agile coaching, enabling cross-functional collaboration between engineers, data scientists and domain experts such as agronomists. Notably, he has led prototyping efforts for LPBF spare-part workflows and explored blockchain for trusted maintenance records, reflecting a pragmatic focus on innovation and traceability.
