About
Verena Stingl’s research lies at the intersection of manufacturing systems, work sociology, and technology management, with a particular focus on how robotics reshapes human labour on the factory floor. Her most-cited work, “Conceptualising the robotisation of manufacturing work,” offers a pioneering thematic analysis that applies soft systems thinking to untangle the complex, interdependent relationships between technology, organisational structures, and workers. By moving beyond purely technical assessments, Stingl provides a holistic framework for understanding the socio-technical entanglements triggered by robotisation—a contribution that has already garnered attention from scholars in operations management and industrial engineering. Her work is notable for bridging critical systems theory with practical manufacturing contexts, offering both researchers and practitioners a nuanced lens to evaluate the human implications of automation. With citations steadily growing, Stingl is establishing herself as a key voice in debates on the future of work, urging a shift from narrow efficiency metrics toward more inclusive, human-centred design in smart manufacturing.
