Podcast Systemblick Targets Shop Floor Leaders with Real Insights

Quality issues, outdated systems, AI in small and medium-sized businesses . These topics are currently the subject of much discussion—at conferences, in trade articles, and in countless LinkedIn posts. But there’s often a gap between the big buzzwords and what ’s actually happening on the production floor and in quality management . Anyone with responsibility on the shop floor knows this gap all too well. After all , the real questions don’t arise from theory, but from day-to-day operations.

This is exactly where “Systemblick,” the new podcast from CSP, comes in . It’s aimed at people who have to make decisions for which there’s no simple template — quality managers, production managers, IT leads , and everyone who works every day to ensure that processes run smoothly and quality standards are met.

Instead of general buzzwords , “Systemblick” focuses on real challenges: concrete experiences, honest assessments, and practical insights . Direct, relevant, and to the point. Each episode features people who know what they’re talking about because they’ve experiencedit firsthand .

The first episodes address real-world requirements, typical bottlenecks, and the question of how quality can be not only managed but also effectively improved . Three topics that may seem different at first glance but areclosely interrelated.

An Overview of the Episodes

It Looks Like a Quality Problem, But It’s a Cyberattack

In many companies, cybersecurity and quality assurance are viewed as separate worlds. On the shop floor, however, they go hand in hand. Andrea talks with Gerald Hahn about how manipulated data can look like a classic quality problem and why this confusion is so dangerous. Small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, are increasingly being targeted by attackers, often without realizing it in time. This episode highlights what matters and why vigilance in this area is not a matter of company size.

Costs in the millions due to outdated ERP and MES systems?

Keeping old ERP and MES systems running may seem like a cost-effective solution at first. But the true costs usually only become apparent later. This episode explores why a backup is no substitute for true archiving, what risks arise when legacy data is no longer accessible, and how companies can keep their historical data available in a way that is audit-proof and future-proof. This is an issue that becomes increasingly urgent by the time of the next audit or system migration, at the very latest.

Which Jobs Will AI Really Replace?

Hardly any topic is as hotly debated as the impact of AI on the world of work. Andrea speaks with Prof. Jivka Ovtcharova about what is actually changing. Which jobs will disappear, which new roles will emerge, and how can companies actively shape this transformation rather than simply waiting for it to happen? A realistic look at AI that neither spreads panic nor downplays the changes, but rather shows where concrete action is needed right now.

Why “Systemblick”?

The name says it all. “Systemblick” embodies the belief that many challenges on the shop floor can only be understood by looking at the big picture. Quality, systems, safety, and people are all interconnected. If you only see a small part of the picture, you quickly overlook the connections that make all the difference at the crucial moment. The podcast aims to foster precisely this perspective while remaining practical.
