It has been a rollercoaster of a year with many challenges but we feel we’re finishing on a high. We delivered on all projects, welcomed new team members, partners and clients, started our sustainability journey, and kick-started a strategic business development and marketing program. We are looking forward to 2022!
Our recent Christmas function was the first time in a while for most of the team to be physically together which was a great opportunity to farewell 2021 in style.
Merry Christmas and a successful new year from the team at Centrix.
We are very pleased to announce our collaboration in the area of machine learning in the industry with the University of Waikato in Hamilton, led by Professor Albert Bifet, director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence.
The joint project aims to implement AI and machine learning methods in New Zealand based businesses to improve crucial business processes.
We will keep you posted on project updates.
At the start of every year, we go on a team excursion to kick off the new year with some fun (and games!).
After introducing the new trainees to the team, it was time to start the team challenge.
The challenge to figure out was this: how far can two raw eggs fly through the air and land unharmed when you only have a limited amount of resources – i.e. a string, clips, cello tape, A3 paper and a couple of balloons. This is our kind of fun.
After a planning phase, several concepts were introduced, whereby the cable railway idea was favored by the majority with the most ambitious goal being 80m.
After an hour of trial and error (with a hard boiled egg!) it got serious. All teams had to prove that their eggs were capable of traveling through the air, unharmed and as far as possible.
It turned out that the favored concept of using a ”railway cable” had more issues than expected and the method of throwing the eggs, well wrapped, came out top with a reach of 42m.
Well done team Joyce, Reynard und Michael!
