Summer internship - Developing plug-ins for monitoring and gathering statis

SICK is a world-leading supplier of sensors and sensor solutions for industrial applications. We are 11 000 employees in 50 countries and our headquarter is in Freiburg, Germany. SICK in Linköping is an innovation center for Machine Vision and we are 80 committed employees with a big interest in image processing and visualization. For more than 35 years,

our team at SICK Linköping has successfully developed and delivered software for technically leading products within the field of 2D and 3D vision, as well as system solutions for i.e., robot guidance and quality control.

What you will do

The SICK Nova team consist of 15 developers with a mix of experiences, age and gender. The work is being done using agile methodologies having a very tight collaboration with the product managers. We work in a continuous integration (CI) environment with test automation on the target.

SICK Nova is an application that runs on our industrial sensors, that helps users with or without programming knowledge to easily setup and solve their vision applications. Nova consists of Lua scripts running on a programmable sensor, together with a web user interface for configuration and visualization. There is a need for both gathering statistics during runtime, such as temperature, memory usage and average execution time, but also offline, where a user will test out if their configuration works well on a set of recorded images. The summer internship will be about to gathering information and summarize it from our Nova application.

If you have an interested in programming, user experience, curious about how modern applications that runs industrial cameras works and want to be a part of our continuous improvement’s efforts, you are warmly welcome to contribute!
