A day in the life of Yunus Ruff

Erza Mehmeti: How long have you been with KYBURZ?

Yunus Ruff: I have only been working at KYBURZ since August 2020.

Erza: What are your activities?

Yunus: I work in service electronics and development. I check the returns we receive from our service partners and see why for example the turn signal is broken. If damage occurs often, we take a closer look and try to find a solution so that it doesn't happen again. In this way, we constantly improve our products. I also help in development, if you need my help with a job or I make different cables.

Erza: What is your typical daily routine?

Yunus: I arrive every morning at about 07.50 and check my emails first. Then I check which department needs my help. Then I go to work that needs my help. I also take over the phone when Jenny, my supervisor, has a meeting. There I help the service partners who have a problem and try to solve the problem with them. Once a day I check the warehouse to see if something needs refilling and once a week I make the returns.

Erza: What do you like? What do you like less?

Yunus: What I like most about technology is that I am very close to technical things that interest me. I also like the team with Jenny and the service. We always have new situations and new problems that we/ I try to solve as best as possible. Also, you always have to deal with new people on the phone. What I don't like much is that sometimes you are at the same work for too long, because there is not always good communication with the service partners, because we don't always know exactly what is broken and where the mistake is.

Erza: What do you like to do in your free time?

Yunus: I go bouldering regularly, you climb without a rope at low altitude. I also like playing drums, guitar, piano, accordion, and singing.

Erza: You participated in the Swiss Skills 2020, can you tell me more about it?

Yunus: The Swiss Skills are the Swiss Skills Championships, which are held every two years. They serve as preliminary rounds for the World Skills, i.e. professional world championships. Swiss Skills are held for different professions. From horticulturists to computer scientists, everyone is involved. I participated there in the discipline "Industry 4.0" and won first place. This means that I will participate in the World Championships in Shanghai in 2022.

Erza: Industry 4.0, what is that exactly?

Yunus: I have completed my apprenticeship as an automation engineer. In automation, we build and program industrial machines. Industry 4.0 is a new branch of automation with a focus on computer science. The goal is to let the different machines that a company needs to talk to each other. For example, a machine can communicate directly with the warehouse and if there are too few parts, they are automatically reordered. Smart Maintenance" is also part of Industry 4.0, which is all about using huge amounts of data to detect equipment failures early on. By and large, Industry 4.0 makes production more efficient and conserves resources.
