Live in the boiler room: flint at fmpro's TGM network meeting

Anyone can build an AI demo or nice slides today. Showing it live in the boiler room is another story.

On 23 September we were guests at the TGM network meeting of fmpro, hosted at AZ Medienhaus AG in Aarau.

No talk: two groups walked through the real boiler rooms with their smartphones and filmed the equipment themselves.

Afterwards we processed the footage live, ran quality assurance and showed the results directly in the flint platform. From video to a structured asset list, in front of every participant.

It worked.

But what stayed with me more than the demo was the discussion afterwards.

What is the real state of digitalisation in TGM?

How do you maintain data quality over years?

And where is there potential for AI in the boiler room and at the desk?

You rarely hear these questions asked this honestly at conferences.

Thanks to all participants for the engaged discussions. And to Matteo Köhler, Dominic Preisig-Zehnder and Daniel Moisescu for the preparation.

Certainly not the last time we show flint live in the field.

Where do you stand with asset data capture? Still Excel, or already something else?
