Master Thesis – Predictive Model for Mass Flow Controllers

1 week ago

Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Sandvik Full time

At Sandvik Coromant, we offer you the possibility to do a Master of Science thesis in developing a detection model capable of identifying irregularities in real process data. The goal is to predict component failure within our equipment areas, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and sintering.

Welcome to a world leading, global industrial player who believes in taking a holistic approach to manufacturing, one that leads to healthy habits for the long term – we believe in manufacturing wellness

Background and scope of the project

Mass Flow Controllers (MFC) are critical for precise gas delivery. Failures such as capillary or mainline clogging and valve output drift can lead to machine error rejections and unplanned downtime. Current maintenance is reactive, causing scrap and "big bang rejections".

Work description

In this project, you build and evaluate a predictive model on current data outputs from mass flow control devices. You define future steps and recommend how we can implement AI for process equipment surveillance and what additional sensors or imaging that could be needed.

Included in your project:

  • Assist production in feature extraction.
  • Build a model that fits the situation (anomaly detection, root cause classification, remaining useful life estimation, supervised or unsupervised learning techniques.
  • Model integration with IT/OT.
Your background
  • Master studies in Automation/Production/Computer engineering, or similar.
  • Skills and interest in information modeling, AI and programming.
  • Insights into process equipment are beneficial.
  • Insights into the metal cutting industry and processes are beneficial.
  • Excellent communication skills in English and/or Swedish.

The thesis project is based at our Västberga site in Stockholm.

Our culture

Innovation is in our DNA and we're proud to shape the future of manufacturing in close collaboration with our customers and partners. We believe in an inclusive, equal and open-minded culture, and we nurture our diversities to form a solid foundation for achieving great results. Add fair and rewarding benefits, as well as many different career opportunities in an inspiring global environment. Get to know us further on our website, LinkedIn or Facebook page. 

Duration of the project

The thesis project lasts 20 weeks, starting as soon as possible. After approved thesis is completed, Sandvik offers a lump sum compensation.
