BT/MT: »Artificial Intelligence (AI) for process optimization in production«

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the world’s leading applied research organization. Around 30 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 2.9 billion euros.

The Fraunhofer IPT uses machine learning (ML) models that can predict the quality of the products during manufacturing. This requires the development of an optimization module that determines the optimal process parameters of the machines and equipment. In this thesis, metaheuristics for parameter optimization are to be benchmarked and implemented on a production use case.

What you will do

Familiarization with the state of the art of metaheuristics for parameter optimization
Analysis of existing concepts and methods for process optimization in production
Implementation and benchmarking of metaheuristics
Evaluation and documentation of the results

What you bring to the table

You are studying mechanical engineering, computer science, industrial engineering or a comparable subject
Initial experience with optimization methods is an advantage
A high degree of initiative and team spirit
Very good language skills in English

What you can expect

Professional supervision and technical support in the preparation of your thesis
Scientific development of a practice-relevant, highly topical, and exciting subject
Pioneering role in the AI-based optimization in production
A state-of-the-art machine park equipped with edge cloud systems and 5G infrastructure
Collaboration in a dedicated team of engineers, data scientists and software developers
Available data basis and models

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability.
