About

Eren Karapinar works at the intersection of manufacturing and technology, focused on how industrial systems evolve through automation and AI. Early exposure to factory environments gave him a practical understanding of how industrial operations run and where real bottlenecks exist in production and supply chains.

Over the years, Eren has worked across different parts of manufacturing, logistics, and industrial operations, including roles connected to OEM heavy-duty parts manufacturing, global gold mining operations, and industrial automation software. His work has centered on understanding operational workflows, identifying inefficiencies, and helping companies modernize how they manage production and data flow.

He also co-built Orderslide, an order-management system that unified fragmented e-commerce tools into a single workflow and supported a fulfillment operation processing over 250,000 orders end-to-end. Through workflow redesign and warehouse optimization, order processing time was reduced from 2 minutes to 10 seconds per order.

Eren also spent nearly two years closely involved with an OEM heavy-duty automotive parts manufacturer, working across supplier and customer ecosystems in multiple regions. That experience provided direct exposure to how legacy systems and operational complexity slow down industrial performance, reinforcing his focus on practical modernization in manufacturing environments.

Today, Eren works in Maneva, where he focuses on sales for AI systems built for manufacturing environments. His work involves helping factories adopt video-based intelligence systems that allow them to detect, understand, and respond to real-time events on the production floor, bridging the gap between traditional operations and modern AI-driven workflows.

Beyond his work at Maneva, Eren hosts Industry Ethos, a podcast featuring conversations with operators, builders, and technologists shaping the future of manufacturing. The focus is on real execution in industrial environments and how technology is changing the way physical industries operate.

He believes manufacturing will remain one of the most important foundations of technological progress, especially as it becomes increasingly connected with software and AI systems.
