Free Webinar: "320% ROI: Knowledge Management, By the Numbers. We'll Show You How."
An independent study has now proven it in black and white: The use of findIQ in production yields a 320% ROI over three years — with a payback period of about 12 months. In this live webinar, we'll show you exactly how that number comes together.
Sina Volkmann, CEO and co-founder of findIQ, unpacks why economics gets overlooked when it comes to knowledge management. Then Dr.-Ing. Karl-Michael Nigge (Industrial AI Pricing), who conducted the study independently, takes over and breaks down in detail how that 320% ROI and payback period of around 12 months are actually calculated.

Sina Volkmann is CEO and co-founder of findIQ, maker of the first Industrial Knowledge Platform and pioneer of the Industrial Knowledge AI category. After ten years building business cases for Industrial IoT projects at BMW, CLAAS, and E.ON, she found that the real barrier to scale was never the technology — it was the knowledge held by the people in front of the machine. findIQ grew out of a government-funded research project she led; Customers such as Siemens, Phoenix Contact, Elopak, Clarios and Kulicke & Soffa are thus able to diagnose faults demonstrably more quickly.
Together, we will explore:
-
How do you actually put a number on knowledge management?
-
Is a 320% ROI realistic — or just a best-case scenario?
-
Where does the real financial impact come from: fewer escalations, less downtime, or faster onboarding?
-
How long does it really take to see payback?
-
What would this look like for your own production lines?
