KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Nowadays the development of machine learning finds application in various fields. In the domain of optical character recognition (OCR) it allows to differentiate between characters in several lighting conditions and with different background properties. The goal of this project is to develop a system to recognize and read serial numbers from case parts during the assembly process, to reduce the manual workload as well as eliminate a possible error source (the human component). The goal is to have a device which can read the serial numbers efficiently in different lighting situations, orientations, as well as off different materials and surface properties, independent of the watch reference. The developed system should integrate in the existing software landscape to register the newly produced serial numbers in the system.

YOUR PROFILE:

• Ongoing master’s degree at a university revolving around the topic of machine learning and/or OCR
• Written and spoken fluency of the English language are required, German skills are an advantage
