R&D Robotics Test engineer

Introduction

If you travel through an airport, chances are that you will see some notion of Vanderlande at the check-in desk or arrival hall. As market leader in the Airports domain, Vanderlande is present at many of the main global airports.

Traditionally Vanderlande focuses on the transport, sortation and storage of bags. Recently Vanderlande is also offering solutions to automate the handler process with an increased level of automation in the ground handler process. This is where AGVs come into play to transport containers, robots are used to load bags into carts and containers, and vision and algorithms are used to make informed decisions.

Innovation only sticks when it works reliable, so if you get motivated by pushing our solutions to the limit then we are looking for you!
