Stage – Software Development for Modular HMIs

VIVENTRIS – Smart production solutions for the industry of tomorrow

Viventris develops smart and flexible production solutions that help companies improve their processes and make them future-proof. We specialize in visual inspection and assembly, with applications in consumer products, high-tech systems, and healthcare, among others.

Our strength lies in combining generic building blocks with customer-specific customization. This allows us to realize efficient and reliable solutions for the production of compact and often complex products. We work pragmatically and closely with our clients to achieve results quickly and make a real impact on the shop floor.

Within our focus area of assembly, we automate manual processes and complex operations, leading to increased product quality and improved efficiency. Within our inspection expertise, we develop advanced vision systems utilizing both rule-based algorithms and AI. This enables accurate product inspection and reliable defect detection.

With our solutions, we contribute to smarter production processes and consistent product quality.

Software Development for Modular HMI

Viventris provides unique, customer-specific solutions. A modular HMI enables the rapid configuration of new machine variants using reusable building blocks (such as UI components and software modules). By intelligently combining these building blocks, a single platform can support a wide range of unique inspection and assembly machines while limiting development time and complexity.

Goal
Developing and expanding software functionality for a modular HMI and vision architecture, focused on flexibility, scalability, and reusability.

What are you going to do?

Depending on your interests and internship duration, you will work on one or more of the following features:

• Design and implement new HMI functionalities, such as:
  • dynamic UI pages based on widgets (configurable by the user);
  • expandable user roles and login levels;
• Improving performance and architecture, for example:
  • parallel control and reading of multiple cameras (instead of sequential);
• Brainstorming and realizing a flexible software architecture, such as:
  • a simple orchestration layer for machine and vision processes;
  • integration of various camera interfaces via GenICam and vendor SDKs, among others;
• Exploring and (partially) implementing backend services, such as:
  • camera management and image acquisition based on different interfaces, including GenICam and vendor SDKs
  • image processing pipelines (e.g. via NVIDIA Triton Inference Server);
  • storage of image data (e.g., via MinIO);

Result
Working software components and/or prototypes that contribute to a flexible and extensible HMI and vision platform, including substantiation of design choices.
