Product Owner at the ZDP AI Accelerator making manufacturing data actionable with machine learning.

## About

Bernhard de Graaff explores how machine learning can fix manufacturing bottlenecks. As a Product Owner at the ZDP AI Accelerator, he works on improving root cause analysis by moving beyond traditional methods like 5-Why diagrams.

His work focuses on using Explainable AI and causal discovery to untangle complex relationships in large datasets. By separating statistical associations from actual causes, he helps teams build better tools for reducing machine breakdowns and improving factory decisions.
