Do you think it would be exciting to do your thesis in an industrial environment and there study the flow and handling of sheets during production at a department that heat treats and hardens sheet metal? You present analysis results that provide logistical improvements. Location Oxelösund.

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the future of the planet and sustainability. Steel has been one of the most important materials for the development of our society and will continue to be so in the future. In our homes, in bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB, we are proud of our history and our leadership in high strength steel. At the same time, we are aware that steel production is one of the industries that emits the most greenhouse gases in the world. This must change. We have therefore developed the world's first fossil-free process for steel production and around 2030 we will be largely fossil-free. As part of SSAB, you will be important in realizing this goal and thus contribute to a green transition of the entire steel industry.

The assignment

The purpose and goal of the thesis is to investigate the possibility of streamlining the handling of sheet metal at a process section for heating and hardening. The assignment includes submitting proposals for improvements that can help the operating section to better handle and sort sheet metal.

The thesis includes:

- Study operator environments

- Identify needs (decision support) for more efficient operator environment

- Review for sorting of sheet metal

- Study the flow within a sheet metal process section

- Visualize and test possible solutions

- Improved flow

Scope - 20 weeks of full-time work (30 credits).

The desired period for implementation is spring 2025.

Your application should include a cover letter and CV.

The study is compiled in writing in a report in Swedish and presented orally in Swedish.

The following steps are proposed

• Literature study
• Data collection
• Simulation of different driving cases
• Evaluation and analysis
