Director of Connected Operations Fuuz

DJ Bensch is Director of Connected Operations at Fuuz. He leads a team that works side by side with manufacturers and their deployment partners to turn Industry 4.0 ambitions into working results on the plant floor, using the Fuuz Industrial Operations Platform. DJ's perspective starts where the work happens. He began his career on the shop floor in automotive manufacturing. That experience grounded everything that followed: he went on to lead MES deployments at global scale. He later joined systems integrators, delivering connected operations solutions across some of manufacturing's most demanding environments, including aerospace, nuclear energy, glass, and medical devices. Today DJ and his team bring that operator-first mindset to every Fuuz engagement. They connect people, machines, and data so frontline teams get the right information at the right moment, without ripping and replacing the systems they already rely on.

CWM Summit Day Two - October 15, 2026

11:25 AM Case Study: Modernizing the Manufacturing Tech Stack through Seamless Integration and AI Enablement

Manufacturers are under pressure to modernize without disrupting operations or abandoning the systems they rely on. Fuuz enables organizations to integrate legacy platforms, unify data, and introduce AI capabilities within a governed, IT approved framework. This session explores how manufacturers can break down silos, extend the life of existing systems, and build a scalable, future ready tech stack that accelerates digital transformation.

• Unlock value from legacy systems by integrating core platforms without costly rebuilds or disruptive migrations.
• Eliminate data silos and create a unified operational layer that supports real time visibility, analytics, and AI driven decision making.
• Introduce AI safely and at scale through a governed environment that prevents shadow IT while enabling rapid innovation.
• Modernize the tech stack incrementally with low code tools that allow teams to extend, adapt, and enhance existing processes.
• Accelerate digital transformation ROI by aligning integration strategy with business needs, operational priorities, and measurable outcomes.
