German cleaning solutions provider Karcher Group sees consumers and factories in China adopting digital solutions faster than most markets, and the company is learning from the country's experience to scale its technologies globally, said its chief financial officer for China.
"For Karcher, 'new intelligent economy' means artificial intelligence plus real economy plus sustainability. Not just models, but embedded, practical intelligence that makes industries cleaner, safer and more efficient," said Rainer Kern, CFO of Karcher China.
"For developing AI solutions, we see China as the forefront in certain areas, and we want to leverage those kinds of skills. That's why our plant will transform more from a simple high-volume plant into a smart AI plant where new products, new concepts and also new technologies will be trialed," Kern said.
"Our strategy is to tap into China's knowledge, experience, skills, research and development and supply chain ecosystem which the country has built up. We see a whole AI landscape.
