Summary
Technical generalist with many years of experience in product development, design, 3D coordinate measuring technology, quality management and technical feasibility studies. Focus on analyzing, developing and implementing cost-effective technical solutions.
More than 35 years of industrial experience in mechanical engineering, drive technology, production, quality, product development and technical projects; including several years of independently managed technical B2B sales as a commercial agent in accordance with §84 HGB. Strength: quickly understanding customer requirements and market potential, structuring technical and economic relationships, and developing suitable, customer-specific solution concepts from them.
Sales experience includes target customer identification, new customer acquisition/cold calling, needs analysis, technical customer consulting, design, costing and quotation preparation, as well as support through to implementation. Professional appearance, high self-motivation, independent and structured way of working, customer and results orientation, flexibility, initiative, communication and negotiation skills.
AGV / AMR / Mobile Robotics: no direct project experience to date. However, my overall profile clearly demonstrates a strong ability to quickly understand new topics and repeatedly acquire new technologies and fields of application independently – combined with a clear willingness to gain a sound understanding of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and their automation/system concepts at short notice.
Intensive practical use of generative AI for complex analysis, research, documentation and decision-making tasks: structured requirements definition, iterative review of results, error and consistency checks, source and evidence verification, and quality-oriented optimization of AI-supported work processes.
