Hi BRCommunity!
Today, I’d like to be a bit more personal.
Between busy projects and daily troubleshooting, it’s sometimes important to pause and reflect.
The idea of a global B&R Community for cooperation and knowledge sharing had been discussed at B&R for many years.
The project was postponed for a long time, as it raised concerns and doubts.
Four years ago, @florian.schneeberger joined B&R.
He brought fresh energy as Head of Software and later as CTO.
B&R reopened the idea of the B&R Community, and Florian gave the project the green light and became its sponsor.
It has been almost two years since Florian trusted me with the Community and put it in my hands.
At the beginning, he helped me a great deal, and I can honestly say that he taught me a lot.
This week, Florian Schneeberger, CEO of B&R Automation, tragically passed away.
He left behind a great emptiness, but his ideas and visions remain with us.
I would like to thank him one last time — in my own name and on behalf of all of you, our B&R Community.
R.I.P.
