We are currently looking for students willing to do their thesis as part of our engineering team. The students should be prepared to work on a real-life case in a challenging and fast-paced environment, using their experience and knowledge in various aspects of engineering to improve the performance of the Tuve plant.
Project Description
The Volvo Trucks plant in Tuve, Gothenburg, produces heavy trucks of the models FH16, FH, FM and FMX. The plant also supplies parts and components to smaller assembly plants located in other parts of the world. Due to long lead times, it is essential to ensure the correct quantity of parts in each shipment. The engineering team want to explore the possibility to use the Volvo Vision System to ensure the correct output and storing an image as proof.
Task:
Collaborate with the local engineering team and the development team for Volvo Vision system to create a station for verifying that the correct number of parts are placed in a box before shipment.
You are expected to:
- Identify stakeholders
- Gather requirements
- Perform tests and evaluate the capabilities of the Volvo vision system
- Design a station that fulfills the requirements
- Create handover material to allow for further use and development by Volvo
We require the work to be performed by a team of two students. Please state the name of your partner in your application.
Applicants without partner will not be considered.
Main location for the project group will be the assembly plant in Tuve, Gothenburg. The students are expected to spend most of the time on-site, collaborating with the concerned teams. Therefore, we require at least one student to speak Swedish.
