Krones.digital: New location in India
When Krones.digital was created in 2022, Krones established a matrix organisational structure: team members around the world work together in community to develop solutions for digitally innovative, automated production. In the meantime, the community has grown to more than 500 employees, spread across offices in the USA, Germany, the Czech Republic and China. Now, another location has been added in Bengaluru, India: Krones Digital Solutions India.
„With the establishment of Krones Digital Solutions India, we have come another step closer to accomplishing the goal expressed in our new corporate vision: “Solutions beyond tomorrow”. That is, to offer solutions that reach further and lead the food and beverage industry into a digital future,” explains Severin Diepold, head of the Krones.digital subsegment Corporate Digitalization and Automation. One of the major projects at Krones in this context is the development of the Line of the Future. “To achieve this goal, it also requires Krones.digital. We are already well positioned, but we always need well-trained IT specialists. Establishing a location in India was therefore an obvious choice, as the country is a global leader in this field.“
“With this vision, the entire Krones Group has committed to driving solutions that make possible a sustainable and thus truly liveable future for us all. Digitalisation and automation play a key role in that,” explains Managing Director Suchismita De. “For the people joining the Krones.digital community from in Bengaluru, that means they’re not just doing any old job. They’re playing an active, formative role in a meaningful mission,” she adds.
Krones IT subdivisions bundled in a single unit
The 70-some employees work not only on developing software solutions for customers, but also on Krones’ own internal IT projects, such as securing the IT environment against external attack. “Krones has had a subsidiary in India for over 25 years. In 2013, we set up another IT support department there in order to be able to offer global 24-hour support internally as well.
