I write software for industrial machines. In more detail this means programming:

• safety industrial applications.
• interfaces to embedded or industrial hardware.
• interfaces to Manufacturing Execution Systems.
• industrial automated processes.
• libraries and algorithms for industrial applications.
• interfaces to industrial robots.
• machine software architectures.
• multi-axes systems.
• HMIs.

My job is not only programming though.

As a programmer of industrial machines I also have to make sure that these work smoothly and as intended.

This means I also have to gain knowledge of a whole set of technologies, communication protocols, sensors, drives and other hardware devices in order to parametrize, use, program, and fault analyze them.
