After studying Electronics at the Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences, Heinrich Munz co-founded LP Elektronik GmbH together with partners in 1985. As Managing Director, he was responsible for development, sales and marketing. LP Elektronik mainly dealt with the connection of IT mainstream technologies such as PCs and their networks with industrial automation. This led to the acquisition of LP Elektronik by KUKA Roboter in 1996. In 1999, Mr. Munz followed the call of the parent company to Augsburg, where he was initially employed as Senior Developer System Engineering in the pre-development department for the planning and further development of robot control technology. With the spread of Industry 4.0, Mr. Munz took over the tasks of a Lead Architect Industry 4.0 at KUKA AG in 2015 and worked on many Industry 4.0 standardization projects. Since 2019 Mr. Munz is running his own company with various fields of activity such as consulting, investments and automated trading.
