Episode 45, part 1: Midrex Technologies - From Digital Vision to Digital Transformation

What does it take to create a vision for digital transformation and then bring it to life?  That’s exactly what we discuss in this episode of Digitalization Tech Talks!  The company that achieved this is Midrex Technologies who specializes in direct reduction ironmaking technology in the steel industry. 

Join us as we interview Curtis Hughes, Midrex’s Chief Information Officer, about all the factors that went into their digitalization journey.  First presented at the Siemens Realize LIVE conference in May 2024, Curtis focuses on completing a “people-centric transformation” and all the benefits associated with it (please reach out to Curtis directly regarding his presentation).
