The future starts in our heads

Our scrum masters ensure that we, the Krones.digital community, think and work agilely. Norah is one of them: As a member of the Chinese team, she employs agile processes and practices that benefit both her development team in Suzhou and our community as a whole. Her task is to create a culture that helps the team continuously improve its own procedures. Norah has been using agile methods ever since completing her master’s in business information systems. What she finds most interesting about her job? “In my work it’s not just about the process, the most exciting bit is the person.” It’s no wonder, then, that she enjoys meeting other people in her private life too, regularly travelling to different towns to visit friends. Right at the top of her list of next destinations is Bamberg, where she lived while studying for her degree. Contact with her colleagues from Regensburg has made Norah keen to return there some time and meet up with old friends again.

Showing backbone and stamina – Jasmina proves this anew every day in her job as Technical Product Owner for the Operations Console. She describes herself as eager and solution-oriented. Not without reason, as Jasmina has already launched many a project: After completing her Master's degree in sustainable energy and environment, she has continued to develop her own product - an educational tool on climate change and sustainable living. Her colleagues describe Jasmina as a "team and fairness fighter" and appreciate her energy, with which she always devotes 110 percent to new challenges. She also enjoys gaining new experiences outside of her working hours and our location in Pilsen: Jasmina's next travel destination is the island of Bali, because the beautiful green landscape and the wide view of the sea horizon are particularly appealing to her.

Which functional requirements must be met by our products so that they are suitable for use in the future? This is one of the central questions the Product Owner for our Condition Monitoring Service regularly asks herself. Laura moved to Regensburg immediately after graduating from her mechanical engineering master's programme and has supported our team from this time at our site in the town centre. What she values most about her work: The close cooperation with our customers, the active involvement in developing the product and the open, honest working atmosphere. When Laura is not at her desk, you're likely to find her out in nature, hiking with the family, skiing in winter or swimming in summer. To see the beach or mountains once a year is on her personal to-do list.

Michael loves travelling. No wonder he started his career at Krones with a job as service engineer for inspection technology. A real organisational talent, he managed to train as an industrial engineer alongside. After completing his studies, Michael followed his curiosity and moved into product management for digitalization. What he particularly likes about his job is the collegiality that surrounds him and the "hands-on" mentality, as he calls it. He also displays the latter himself time and again. We are therefore more than happy to count Michael among our Krones.digital community!

As a doctor of economics and with a successful master's degree in business informatics, Sabri feels most at home in the world of cloud and edge computing. He deals with data processing on the Edge Device including cloud and machine connectivity. Among his daily companions are various AWS services, Python, Linux and Co. What appeals to him most about his job is the variety and the work with innovative technologies. Home office is no problem at all for him. For productive workshops or a chat or two with other team members, however, he prefers to come to the office. He has found another passion in photography - so the ambitious amateur photographer would love to discover the charming Madagascan flora and fauna through his camera lens when the opportunity arises!

He may not be able to operate a computer, but he’s always a welcome sight at the Maximilianstrasse office in Regensburg. At first, he just accompanied his owner Jonas to work. But Rudi quickly established himself as the office “feel-good manager” – always there when somebody needs a quick break. And because he does his job so well, nobody minds that he sometimes takes a nap under “his” desk.
