The purpose of the Summer Internship is to connect with the bright students and their valuable insights and knowledge, and together explore new ideas and solutions. The results can potentially be a part of Element Logic\u2019s future product and solution portfolio, with focus on customer value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_3288\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SAM1362_tt-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"One female working \" class=\"wp-image-3288\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mithila Packiyanathan demonstrating how the robotic arm responded to different commands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-future-of-robotics\">The future of Robotics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme of this year\u2019s project was to investigate and solve the tasks by using a robotic arm. The first task included picking products and accurately placing them in a bin while optimizing the use of space. The second challenge was return handling and identifying a product from a bin. To maximize the effect of exploring new ideas and solutions, the students started from scratch and had free range of use in methods and software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_3279\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SAM1314_tt-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of Sutharshan Nadarajah\" class=\"wp-image-3279\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sutharshan Nadarajah introducing the project and the students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe students delivered more than we expected, and we are very pleased with the results. These students are handpicked from the very best based on mindset, competence, interests and diversity. We would be happy to have them back next year or sometime in the future\u201d, Says Sutharshan Nadarajah R&amp;D Director at Element Logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 8 weeks of summer internship, the students have been working on the project supported by the R&amp;D department, both via Teams and at Element Logic\u2019s headquarters in Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe enjoyed the fact that we are passionate and excited for the work that we have done and got paid at the same time.\u201d&nbsp;Finn Aurer, one of the students, said smilingly, and continued: \u201cPeople at Element Logic have shown a lot of enthusiasm for their work, which rubs off on everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_3283\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SAM1353_tt-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Four students paying attention\" class=\"wp-image-3283\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left Emilia O\u2019Brien, Thomas Borge Sk\u00f8ien, Finn Aurer and Mithila Packiyanathan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOverall, it was a very good experience to work with agile methods, a lot of trust and freedom. The supervisors were very supportive, competent and passionate. We also met people from other departments that showed great interest in our work, which shows us that Element Logic is a place where people support each other throughout the organization\u201d, Finn concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"to-be-continued\">To be continued\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the project came to an end both the students and Element Logic are left with a lot of knowledge, insight, and a prototype solution to optimize picking and returns of products. To get as much out of the project as possible the students have presented Element Logic with interesting ideas to investigate and further develop. This can be the start of developing new products and solutions to optimize warehouse performance for Element Logic\u2019s customers. The summer internship at Element Logic will be conducted on an annually basis, at the headquarter at Kl\u00f8fta, close to Oslo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-dekode-simple-cta\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dekode-simple-cta__inner\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"want-to-learn-more\">Want to learn more? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/uk\/contact-us\/\">Get in touch today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The students were presented with an actual project and were given the necessary equipment to solve it.
