Management

Management shouldcosting GmbH

Hans-Peter Gysel completed an apprenticeship as a mechanic and - after studying mechanical engineering - he worked as an engineer for over 10 years. This was followed by 5 years as a PLM consultant and postgraduate studies in computer science. This path was necessary to understand, why companies lose significant resources and money. It remains astonishing how little companies know about their own products, even though the products are represented as 3D models. He began analyzing 3D CAD and 2D CAD data with machine learning 12 years ago. This led to the founding of shouldcosting GmbH more than 10 years ago. The product data intelligence platform Luminarity is the logical consequence of our journey to prevent companies from losing money and resources.
