Industrial measurement and inspection systems for wire, cable, and material processing
SIKORA manufactures measurement, control, and inspection equipment for industrial production lines—cables, tubes, plastics, glass fiber, and metals. The tech stack reveals a mature embedded-systems business: VHDL, Xilinx, ARM, RTOS, and DSP dominate, paired with Windows/.NET tooling for control software and CAD/CAM (Inventor, Vault, Altium) for hardware design. Active projects span algorithm porting to C++, measurement-system design, and production-process digitalization, while pain points cluster around data accuracy, procurement optimization, and design-process efficiency—typical friction points for a 50-year-old hardware manufacturer scaling automation and digital workflows.
SIKORA is a publicly traded German manufacturer founded in 1973 that designs and sells real-time measurement, control, and sorting systems for industrial production. The product line covers quality assurance across wires, cables, tubes, hoses, sheets, glass fiber, and plastics, primarily serving medical technology, automotive, and energy sectors. The company operates from Bremen with 201–500 employees and a hiring footprint concentrated in Germany. Current active projects include digitalization of production workflows, customer relationship management, and sales initiatives, signaling a shift toward process automation and commercial modernization alongside core hardware development.
Embedded systems (VHDL, Xilinx, ARM, RTOS, DSP), control software (.NET, C++, C#, Visual Studio), CAD/CAM (Inventor, Vault, Altium), and ERP (Dynamics 365 Business Central). Also uses Linux, Qt, MATLAB, and Python.
Core projects include measurement-system design, algorithm porting to C++, production-process digitalization, CRM implementation, and sales automation. Also addressing data accuracy and procurement-cost optimization.
