Alexander Mann, Digital Corre, of TGW Logistics, talks in this interview about advanced analytics for automated warehouses TGW is operating across the globe for customers like Amazon, Coop, and Zalando. How they collect a vast amount of data, apply AI to them, and build data-driven applications. How they removed data silos with all different kinds of data formats, data structures from PLCs, databases, sensor information, etc. He also explains why NoSQL databases weren't a sustainable solution for their use case and how easy it was to start with CrateDB which is now at the heart of everything they are doing and how this solution gives him peace of mind. Mann also recommends everyone who needs a scalable database with a fast query engine and excellent support to use CrateDB.
