Elly is a project manager in Research & Development at Siemens. She and her team develop software to move machine data to the cloud. Right now, she’s concentrating on a free Raspberry Pi image that will ensure sample data can be automatically moved to the MindSphere cloud platform. In the process, Elly’s achieving something for her customers that also drives her: Practical, easy-to-integrate solutions that make life not just easier, but also better.
What’s special about this? Elly and her team are agile and relatively free to choose the technology they use in their work. Whether Docker, Kubernetes, React, Angular, Azure, AWS, etc., there’s the right solution for every problem. They also need this freedom, not just because professional development is fun, but also to steadily improve the user experience.
Their goal: Every customer should have the opportunity to upload their data to the cloud for analysis, as easily and as automatically as possible. With prefabricated modules, they can develop even faster solutions themselves. Elly and her team are closer and closer to achieving this goal. They develop new functionalities over two-week sprints, and every four weeks, they have the opportunity to catch the “release train” and make new functions available to their customers.
