I think logically and write code, yet always remain open to taking on new challenges. My first day with Schneider Electric marked the start of a new journey.\u00a0 \u201cLife is On\u201d is more than a representation of the culture within Schneider. This tagline is a direct reflection of my life as an intern in the Batam plant. There is always an opportunity to contribute, learn, and shine everywhere, for everyone, at every moment. Just prepare yourself to give your best performance and be a part of the digital transformation journey.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-61248 \" src=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1-1.png\" alt=\"Zahrah and her classmates as Interns after being awarded the Spark Scholarship\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1-1.png 1065w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1-1-1024x576.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Leading innovative projects <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It never crossed my mind that I would become a project leader during this internship.<\/p>\n<p>As a project leader, it is my responsibility to analyze the lifespan of this project, have ongoing discussions with the stakeholders involved, and successfully deliver the project from start to finish. Two of the current projects that have been the most meaningful to my career development are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating new applications. Ideally there will be one application for scheduling and one for a paperless application form for both the production department and visitor management.<\/li>\n<li>Conducting a drone study for automatic cycle count at our warehouse. The current cycle count process in our warehouse is done by manually scanning all the barcodes. We need to use a drone to do that, for the sake of human safety, on-time delivery, and improvement on-cycle count accuracy. I am now trying to find the best drone scanning type that meets all our warehouse requirements and hope it will be implemented soon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-61249\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Part of the Schneider Electric Batam team working together and showing us that Life is On\" width=\"366\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2-1.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Growing as part of an inclusive and diverse team<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As part of the Digital Transformation team, I am so excited to have joined such a diverse and inclusive team.
