Job Title LogicLens: A Systematic Approach to Automated PLC Software Analysis for Ensuring Global Code Integrity and Performance Reliability Job Description: Assignment type : Internship: Start date : October 2026: Assignment duration : 6 months: Location : Veghel: Education level : Bachelor / Master Desired study : Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Systems and Control or related Language : English: Description of assignment: Vanderlande operates hundreds of customer sites with large numbers of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), making software version management highly complex. Customers may also independently modify PLC software, creating challenges in maintaining consistency and identifying the root cause of issues. During this internship, you will develop a prototype tool that automatically analyses PLC software (Programmable Logic Controllers). The tool will perform offline analysis by comparing customer PLC function blocks with Research and Development (R&D) baseline versions to detect deviations. In addition, it will perform online analysis by extracting performance metrics from running PLC systems to identify early signs of performance deterioration. The outcome wil...
