Training Expert knowledge in HALCON, C++, Git

  1. Main
  2. Services
  3. Training

We offer training courses on advances topics of development of machine vision applications. We go into details of using HALCON via its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) HDevelop and train on HALCON methods that suit your team.

If required, we meet the challenge of integrating HALCON into professional C++ applications. As version control system we recommend using Git and offer training for Git as well.

We take agile development methods into account and impart knowledge for developers within a Scrum team.

A training is ideal, too, if you intend to call upon our services.



Software or hardware developers that are new to HALCON. The training can be adapted to more advanced HALCON developers on demand. Interesting for pure HALCON script developers as well as for developers who want to integrate HALCON into their application. Experience with another development environment are recommended.

Training courses are usually done in-house at your company. A projector is necessary. In rare cases, multiple remote sessions (for example with Skype) are possible.

During the training, given or customer-specific examples are worked on together with the participants of the training and discussed in detail.

The training can take place in English as well as in German language.
