Mr. Jürgen Käser embarked on his professional journey in 2004 following a degree in Chemistry, starting as a Special Service Engineer for the paper industry. His primary focus was on process troubleshooting with global responsibilities. This role equipped him with a profound technical understanding of industrial production processes, which he subsequently applied across various functions throughout his career.

A significant milestone came with his transition to developing cross-process controls (Softsensor & MPC based) as part of the papermaking4.0 portfolio, automating resource utilization optimization in production. He then joined the core team driving the implementation of a cloud platform, assuming a role that blended consultancy, management, and product ownership in software development.

Now, after two decades at J.M. Voith, Mr. Käser currently serves as the Director of Advanced Process Applications. In this capacity, he is responsible for defining applications (cloud & local) for end-users, implementing artificial intelligence in process optimization, advancing cross-process controls, and developing solutions from concept to market readiness.
