Dec 2025450 hot dogs per minute If you’ve eaten a hot dog or a cheese stick recently, there is a very good chance Shibuya Hoppmann Corporation helped The tradeoff of working at CADDi is that while we work with amazing companies, we can rarely talk about it. By default, our customer list is confidential. Their problems are confidential. Even most of the technology solutions we offer are confidential. That’s why I love it when we get permission to talk about how the hot dogs are made... Thank you, Shibuya Hoppmann Corporationd for agreeing to publicize our partnership https://lnkd.in/ebRF84RY https://lnkd.in/eH28TYXT
Nov 2025We've finally done it! We've bypassed the #Python GIL and have unlocked... Parallel Tradeshowing #MDMMidwest (Minneapolis) and #Southtec (Greenville, SC) are running simultaneously 1000 miles apart, but yet we are at both. We have doubled our booth displays. But don't worry, we haven't let it gone to our head and lost our lean philosophy. We still have a paper sign on the door in Chicago In the past 6 weeks, our amazing team has shown manufacturers how to transform their business at 9 major trade shows across the US. Huge thanks to Sarah Perry, Monica H. Masters, Marcin Zmarzly holding it down at MDMMidwest. Gianni Giankoula, Keenan Lewis, Nate Blackburn bringing the heat at Southtec. And welcome back Lindsay Fein. Manufacturers have an extreme sense of urgency about transforming their operations. They want to see the CADDi AI platform. They want to talk to us. I can feel the difference in the industry from even months ago. Come by the booth. Let's talk about what's actually possible when you combine industrial-native AI models with real world data. Update: We do not have enough CADDi Gorikun costumes. 🦖 We're working on it
