Master/Bachelor Thesis: Data-driven prediction models for production time in the AFP-Process

The Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCV, at its site Am Technologiezentrum 2 is now offering a job.

The Fraunhofer IGCV is the first Fraunhofer facility for production technology in Bavaria. We are shaping the future of efficient engineering, networked production, and intelligent multi-material solutions to ensure the sustainable competitiveness of Germany and Europe.

The "Fiber Placement & Composite Molding" team develops robot-assisted processes and production methods for the manufacture of high-performance fiber-reinforced composites (CFRP).

An important aspect of process planning is determining the production times for a given product. This is currently only possible through complex simulation, as there is a lack of comprehensive models.

There is an urgent need for models that enable fast and effective prediction, considering various aspects of the process to optimize process planning.

In addition, by using machine data, real production times can be recorded and used to validate such prediction models, which can significantly increase the efficiency and accuracy of process planning.

What you will do

Data collection and preparation from simulations and real machine data

Identification of relevant process parameters and aspects (feature engineering)

Selection of suitable methods and algorithms for the prediction models

Development, comparison and fine-tuning of the prediction models

Validation of the developed models using real production times

What you bring to the table

Studies in the field of data science, computer engineering or comparable

Knowledge of statistical methods and machine learning

Knowledge of the programming languages Python and / or R

Ideally initial experience with common ML libraries and frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn or similar

Interest in the application of IoT in an industrial environment

Reliable and independent way of working

What you can expect

Wir bieten flexible Arbeitszeiten, eine hervorragende Ausstattung und die Möglichkeit, die Composite-Welt bei uns aktiv mitzugestalten.

Als Teil eines sympathischen, motivierten Teams sind Sie an der Realisierung spannender Forschungsprojekte beteiligt und übernehmen verantwortungsvolle Aufgaben mit hohem Gestaltungsspielraum.

The weekly working time is agreed individually. This position is also available on a part-time basis. 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. Remuneration according to the general works agreement for employing assistant staff.

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process.

As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
