Test software to ensure responsiveness and efficiency, and correct problems and code where necessary.
- Commissioning and support : Carry out system commissioning and provide ongoing technical support as a key resource for the smooth operation and optimization of installations.
- Continuous improvement : Once the initial system is operational, participate in the continuous improvement of the robotic system to support the company's ambition to remain the world leader in the automated handling of garments on hangers.
