Master thesis in AI for multi-class image classification models in the area of computer vision

Background:

Scania is currently undergoing an exciting transformation from a traditional truck manufacturer to a provider of complete sustainable transport solutions. If you're seeking a dynamic work environment for your thesis, Scania Production System focuses on continuous improvements to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of its production processes. With the rise of automation, digitalization, and the smart factory concept, we are now at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution.

The Smart Factory Lab at Scania is an experimental test environment that explores, assesses, and pilots new technologies before they are adopted in Scania’s production processes. The lab focuses on digitalization and automation with the target of achieving autonomous material handling, reduction of quality deviations, and shortened introduction time. This will increase safety, productivity, quality, and human well-being. We are looking for motivated and creative students to join our Smart Factory Lab for their master thesis. The thesis will involve working on innovative projects that explore how emerging technologies can enhance our production, engineering, and collaboration processes. You will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, where you can test and validate new technologies, methods, and solutions in close collaboration with our internal and external stakeholders

Assignment:
