and another new place again


And another new place again!
Hi! it's going to be my third week here. I'm currently join the trainee program at the factory of semi-conductor product around Bangna, Bangkok. My work here was about develop machine vision measuring system using integration of Halcon vision software and visual C#.
I will write about the work later, this blog i want towrite about the workplace. During working here, I usually called myself as "สาวโรงงาน-sao rong ngan" (girl who work in the factory). Actually, my friend called me first then we started using this word and I just like it. The office hour is super early, they start work at 8.00am till 5.45pm.(Kinda long ha?) Normally, i was getting up around 7.30am- 8.00am but now, I have to get up at 5am and arrive the workplace around 7am. Well, at least I still have time to take a nap before work.
As here is the manufactory, I expected about somewhere like the power plant that I worked when I was in the University, it was like a lot of dust, noisy place and super big. But you know, here is very clean factory! No dust in the walkway or even in the noisy sound. Because here is a factury about semi-conductor or electronic device, just a little of micro dust is unexceptable! So there are many many rule here we need to follow strictly, otherwise it will damage there products. Such as no food or drink, no photo, no mobile phone, no make up and so on at the production line. Fortunately, i no need to work at the line, some rules were no need to follow at the office. (So it was the only chance that the engineer girl will have a better look than the real sao-rong-ngan. lol) You might think, ooohh, it was so long day here. Actually, here they allowed the employee to take a break for 3 times!, morning break, lunch and afternoon break. Woo, that was strange! (but my previous workplace was not that strick, I can take a break anytime I want. As long as I send them the work on time ;P).
I might say, working here was so technical work. It was my interested field of work! Working at lab and experiment in the company! wow! I just wonder, if I'm not the student, is there any chance to work like this?
Enjoy!, Patama R.

Halcon realtime

Hi, this is going to be my second week working at semi-conductor industrial factory. My work is quite interested, I have to develop machine vision measuring system using Halcon vision software and visual c#. Actually, the workers in team already have the knowledge about machine vision, they just need a programmer who can build the application file for them using c#. So they asked me to join.
Just wow for the equipment they provided for the trainee student.
my computer and lab camera

The following video is showing the measurement of angle rotation for the wafer using Halcon.  At first, they already have a program that can measure the angle of the wafer but it cannot use in realtime. So I have to edit and make it run as an application for the real machine. Actually, before I finished my work today I already finished implement with C# but I'm afraid to make a video at that time because many people in the team came and saw the progress at my table.

PS. I don't know how to stop capturing in C# if someone know the solution please contact me. T^T
PS2. I don't know if it going to be illegal to record and share the video or not but it was my program (LOL).
