Deep Learning as a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has become increasingly important in recent years due to the increasing availability of data and computing power. The technology is revolutionizing automation in production and other areas by enabling machines to perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. Dr. Christoph Eichhorn, Strategic Product Manager for Digital Services and Solutions at SICK, explains how Deep Learning is revolutionizing automation and production.

The Agile Coach with Vivek and Pabitra sits down with Mikaylah McCarty, Scrum Master at Universal Parks & Resorts. Scrum Masters lead cross-functional and agile teams. They provide the how to the what and deliver realistic outcomes quickly to customers.

She shares her journey to becoming a Scrum Master and how to capitalize on networking opportunities. Mikaylah advises aspiring Scrum Masters to seek out a mentor to guide them and to double down on the skill of communication as creating a safe space but also commanding the room is the role of a Scrum Master. 

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

Scrum Masters provide the HOW to the WHAT - Mikaylah: "A Scrum Master's role is to then take whatever they're prioritizing and say, how are we going to get it done? Product owner is the what in the team. The Scrum Masters are the how, that's the value that we provide to the team is okay, they're saying we got to get this done. We have the team members ready to do the work. The scrum master will then say, this is how it's going to work."

Lead from the front and add skills to your tool belt - Mikaylah: "Get down there with your team. If you don't know it, learn it. If all you can do is sit there, sit next to them and rub their back and give them a donut, like do that. Supporting your team. Never saying, it's not my job. Never say you can't do it, and gaining as many skills in your tool belt as you can."

For years, the use of robots in production was an image one encountered primarily in the automotive industry. Behind high fences, huge robotic arms assembled heavy car body parts. But robots have changed and their tasks now cover a very broad spectrum. Flexible collaboration between humans and robots is the crowning achievement - without fences, without pre-programmed sequences, and still safe at all times. Fanny Platbrood, Head of Strategic Product Management at SICK, explains what it takes to achieve this. 

In the fourth episode of the Meteor Spotlight podcast, we chat with our friend James Sear, the co-founder of Avion!

With a combined experience of 20+ years of building digital products, Tim Ramage and James Sear recognized the inadequacy of online tooling available in user story mapping which led them to build Avion - an intuitive and user-focused story mapping tool with real-time capabilities. Meteor gave them the ability to create a fully real-time application with absolute ease.

To learn more about Avion,  what they do, and how they're scaling with Meteor, tune into this episode! We cover everything from their tech stack, new features to come, and how they're scaling with Meteor.

Thanks for listening!

In 75 years, SICK has grown from a small southern German company to a global player with more than 10,000 employees. How can SICK maintain the balance between the global network and its local nodes? What effect does a company’s globalization have on its culture and values? And how does the corporate culture support ‘internal’ globalization? 

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Mats Gökstorp, CEO of SICK, to discuss these issues.
