Master's thesis: Enhanced information flows for maintenance processes in battery production

Die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.de) betreibt in Deutschland derzeit 76 Institute und Forschungseinrichtungen und ist eine der führenden Organisationen für anwendungsorientierte Forschung. Rund 32 000 Mitarbeitende erarbeiten das jährliche Forschungsvolumen von 3,4 Milliarden Euro.

We, the Fraunhofer Institute for Battery Cell Production FFB, have made it our mission to become the center for the development of modern and scalable battery cell production for Germany and Europe. Every day, we work on creating infrastructure that allows companies and research institutions to test, implement, and optimize the near-series production of new batteries. This is how we shape the battery cell production of tomorrow.

This thesis is written as a cooperation between the Fraunhofer FFB, Northvolt and the IDEA League Universities RWTH Aachen University and Chalmers University of Technology. You will work on the topic of enhanced information flows for maintenance processes in battery production in close contact with another student from Chalmers University of Technology using Input from Nothvolt and FFB. This master thesis aims to map, analyse, and enhance data and information flows for maintenance processes in battery production. By leveraging modern technologies, such as big data, machine learning, and cloud architecture, you will explore the potential of data in optimizing maintenance in gigafactories, focusing on real-time monitoring, remote inspections, digital documentation, and their integration with computerized maintenance management systems.

Was Du bei uns tust

Map and analyse data and information flows in battery maintenance processes for optimization.
Explore smart technologies to boost maintenance efficiency in gigafactories.
Examine challenges to improve data-driven maintenance adoption.
Build data pipelines to act on shopfloor events in real-time and connect your solution to an existing manufacturing execution system to trigger maintenance work and change machine states.

Was Du mitbringst

You are a Master student in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science or a comparable subject.
Basic understanding of production systems and maintenance.
Knowledge in data analytics and the basics of machine learning.
High grades are meritorious.
