Steffen Maier

Steffen Maier is a Systems Engineer at Cisco in Stuttgart, where he advises customers on multi-domain architectures across networking and security and helps them turn technology into measurable business outcomes. He joined Cisco in 2021 after working in automotive manufacturing and engineering at Mercedes-Benz and BMW. There he worked on Industry 4.0 and human-robot collaboration projects, which gave him an early view of where the factory floor meets IT. That background shapes how he approaches operational technology: with an eye for both production realities and enterprise requirements. Steffen holds a CCNP Enterprise and an M.Sc. in Data Science. At Cisco Live, he will show attendees how to implement edge applications in manufacturing in practice, using container technology and AI.
