How can AI help engineers spend less time on repetitive work and more time on innovation? During this internship or graduation project, you will join the DaVinci Engineering team to explore, develop, and implement AI solutions that improve engineering productivity across Vanderlande. Working closely with engineers and AI experts, you will identify opportunities where AI can add value by reducing repetitive tasks, streamlining workflows, and supporting daily engineering activities.
As part of the assignment, you will interview and observe engineers to gain insight into their work patterns, challenges, and opportunities for AI support. Based on your findings, you will analyze engineering activities and develop a framework that links different types of work to suitable AI solutions. Together with the engineering team, you will design, pilot, and implement at least five AI use cases, evaluate their adoption and impact on productivity, and provide recommendations for scaling successful solutions across other engineering teams within Vanderlande. By the end of the project, you will have made a tangible contribution to the adoption of AI within engineering, enabling engineers to spend less time on repetitive work and more time on innovation.

Vanderlande is a market-leading, global partner for future-proof logistic process automation in the warehousing, airports and parcel sectors. Its extensive portfolio of integrated solutions – innovative systems, intelligent software and life-cycle services – results in the realisation of fast, reliable and efficient automation technology.
The company focuses on the optimisation of its customers’ business processes and competitive positions. Through close cooperation, it strives for the improvement of their operational activities and the expansion of their logistical achievements.
Established in 1949, Vanderlande has more than 11,000 employees and a turnover of 2.3 billion euros.
Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) acquired Vanderlande in 2017 to cement its global leading position within material handling. It aims to achieve this by increasing its presence in all integrated and automated projects, and capitalising on the synergies between the organisations and the added value they offer to the market.
TICO therefore launched the Toyota Automated Logistics Group (TALG), which consists of Toyota L&F, Bastian Solutions, Vanderlande and viastore. TALG is a global partner for integrated logistic process automation, with its group companies collaborating under the guiding principle: for every challenge, a reliable solution.
In May 2025, Vanderlande completed the acquisition of Siemens Logistics' operations outside the USA and in doing so welcomed more than 2,000 new employees. The acquisition supports the company’s strategic ambition to accelerate its growth in automated logistics, particularly strengthening its capacity to deliver baggage, cargo and digital airport solutions.
