Rene Grzeszick

Rene is co-founder and CTO of MotionMiners, the primary responsibility of his work being the area of data analysis. Rene received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in computer science from TU Dortmund University in Dortmund, Germany, in 2010 and 2012 respectively. He later joined the university’s Pattern Recognition in Embedded Systems group in the Department of Computer Science as a Ph.D. student. He has always been interested in the area of pattern recognition, which was a heavy area of focus for his research at Dortmund.

Motion Miners

In 2014, Sascha Feldhorst conceived of the concept for MotionMiners while jogging, originally imagining it as a fitness tracker. This concept would lead to the eventual founding of MotionMiners in October of 2017 with partners René Grzeszick and Sascha Kaczmarek. During the first two years, MotionMiners was closely associated with the Fraunhofer Institute, but since the summer of 2019 they have been completely spun off. Motion-Mining® makes it easy for companies to perform analysis regarding efficiency and ergonomics for process optimization. Utilizing MotionMiner’s sensors and AI, you can automatically carry out analysis with 80% less effort than conventional methods. MotionMiners aims to provide the world’s most flexible and comprehensive analysis toolbox for human activities.
