Geza Lakatos
Last position:
UX Strategist & AI App Developer (AI-assisted App Strategy) at Own Projects (Nutrycoach.ai, LuxuryBandit)
Conceptualizing and developing AI-powered app MVPs from the first idea to a working product. I combine UX strategy with modern AI and no-code tools — especially Claude and Claude Code, where I work directly in the terminal on real code (React, Vite), complemented by Figma, Bolt.new, and Base44 — to quickly validate and build product ideas. Personal platforms: Nutrycoach.ai (AI nutrition coaching with role-based dashboards for clients, coaches, and admins, AI meal analysis, and a scalable design system) and LuxuryBandit (content/creator app). This led to my own practice 'AI-assisted App Strategy', which combines human creativity, UX logic, and intelligent automation.

About the technology
What it means
Industry 4.0 covers connected production, live machine data, automated workflows, and decision support across the factory floor. It brings OT and IT closer together so teams can monitor, control, and improve production with better visibility.
Typical work
- Smart factory and connected-line rollouts
- Machine data collection and production dashboards
- MES, ERP, and shop-floor system integration
- Predictive maintenance and quality tracking
- Edge and IIoT architecture support
Common stack
Strong professionals know industrial protocols, data platforms, and integration patterns. They work with OPC UA, MQTT, SCADA, PLC-related systems, cloud services, and edge devices, then turn plant data into stable flows and usable reports.
When companies need help
Businesses bring in freelance expertise when plants need to modernize without stopping production. That often happens during brownfield upgrades, vendor changes, data standardization, or when a Berlin team needs temporary support for a factory launch or remote plant review.
What strong specialists do
A solid specialist looks beyond tools and checks process, safety, and reliability first. They document interfaces clearly, test data paths end to end, and keep operations, maintenance, and IT aligned so the solution works on the shop floor, not only on paper.
Berlin delivery
In Berlin, Industry 4.0 work often touches manufacturing, logistics, automotive supply chains, and industrial tech firms. Many tasks can be done remotely, but site access helps with machine checks, signal tracing, and commissioning. German and English both matter in day-to-day collaboration.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Industry 4.0 — answered in short.
Industry 4.0 is used to connect machines, systems, and data so production becomes easier to monitor and improve. Common outcomes include machine visibility, automated reporting, quality control, predictive maintenance, and better coordination between OT and IT.
Industry 4.0 is the broader idea of connected, data-driven industry transformation. Industrial Internet of Things, or IIoT, is a key part of it, while smart manufacturing usually describes the factory-side use case. In practice, companies often use these terms together when they talk about the same program.
A strong Industry 4.0 specialist usually brings automation, data integration, and systems thinking. Useful adjacent skills include OPC UA, MQTT, SCADA, MES, ERP integration, cloud or edge architecture, and a clear understanding of production processes.
An Industry 4.0 project needs someone who has worked on live industrial environments, not just software demos. The right level depends on the task: dashboard work is different from plant integration, commissioning support, or cross-site data standardization. The key is proven delivery in similar settings.
An Industry 4.0 specialist can do much of the design, analysis, and documentation remotely. On-site time is often needed for commissioning, network checks, signal tracing, and direct work with equipment. In Berlin, many teams use a mixed setup with remote planning and selective plant visits.
A good Industry 4.0 professional explains how data moves from the machine to the business system and where failures can happen. Look for clear interface documentation, careful testing, familiarity with industrial constraints, and examples of work that held up in production.
An Industry 4.0 engagement often produces architecture sketches, interface maps, data models, dashboard logic, commissioning notes, and rollout plans. Depending on the scope, it may also include protocol selection, system integration support, and guidance for plant teams.
An Industry 4.0 freelancer does not always need German, but it helps a lot in plant environments and with local operations teams. In Berlin, many projects run in English, yet safety instructions, legacy documentation, and shop-floor conversations may still use German.
