Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we’re pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water and shipping.
As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.
Join a dynamic team at Alfa Laval Technologies, Global Core Components, where we press and produce plates for Alfa Laval heat exchangers. Our group includes production engineers and technicians who support daily operations and development, automation engineers who manage production automation, and maintenance engineers who drive maintenance methods. Your industrial tutors will be a maintenance engineer and an automation engineer, ensuring you have competent guidance throughout your project.
In our production plant in Lund we process coils to heat exchanger plates which are used in applications for the medical, marine, nuclear, and defense industries — to name a few. Efficient maintenance of our machinery is critical: too little maintenance causes unplanned breakdowns, while too much leads to unnecessary downtime and costs. Our vision is to let the machinery itself indicate when maintenance is needed, which is where this thesis comes in.
We want to deepen our understanding of our machinery through smart sensing and data. Key themes include:
You will:
You will work closely with production engineering and maintenance personnel, spending significant time on the factory floor to understand the environment. You will probably interact with sensor suppliers to understand possibilities and limitations better.
Your work will directly support Alfa Laval’s efforts to minimize waste and optimize maintenance practices. If your work is successful, your recommendations will be implemented and have a lasting impact on our operations.
This is an exploratory project, ideal for a student who thrives in open-ended environments.
