Description

As part of this thesis, you will directly help to solve one of the biggest
current pain points in automated Production System (aPS) development for
one of our industry partners Dücker Conveyor Solutions.
Commonly current large-scale, complex aPS software was developed over
many years from a much smaller, more simple code basis where hardly any
thought was given into the reusablity, testablility or maintainability of the
code, which in recent years has become more and more of a problem.

High modularity is the key to mitigate this problem and accomodate the growing non-functional requirements
posed on aPS software. However the nature of the production system is highly influential on how modularity is
enforced inside the software.

Therefore your task will be to develop and implement a modularity concept based on generic state machines
for and with our partner company Dücker. You will be on-site at Dücker as part of your thesis to gain valuable
insight into their software and product development, which allows you to gather important knowledge and
experience for your thesis and beyond.
