Writing
Published articles.
Articles from industrial practice — published by the current employer and read there in the original.
These pieces were written as part of my employed role at CSP Intelligence GmbH and published there. They are listed here as evidence of the areas of work, not as a copy: the authoritative version sits with the publisher, and every title links straight to it.
They are the industrial counterpart to the questions under Ideas: those are about technology and enterprise value, these are about quality, traceability, worker guidance and automation on the shopfloor.
