Beskrivning
Discrete Event Simulation (DES) helps engineers understand and improve industrial systems, but preparing data, building models and checking their accuracy can be time-consuming. This thesis at AFRY explores how AI can support simulation engineers and make model development more efficient, reliable and accessible.
The assignment
- Review research on AI in simulation engineering and examine modeling workflows to identify activities that could benefit from AI assistance.
- Define use cases for translating requirements into models, generating model logic and scenarios, and supporting verification and validation.
- Design and implement one or more proof-of-concept tools using suitable AI technologies, including opportunities to automate repetitive modeling work.
- Test the proposed solutions through practical case studies and assess efficiency, quality, usability and industrial value, including limitations and risks.
- Produce a documented thesis report and demonstrate the results to the simulation team, with recommendations and best practices for future AI-assisted workflows.
Who we are looking for
- Two master’s students in Production Engineering, Systems, Control and Mechatronics, Supply Chain Management or a related field.
- Completion of at least one simulation course with good grades.
- Strong theoretical understanding, practical experience and an interest in production systems and/or production logistics.
- Fluency in Swedish and English.
- An interest in consulting is an advantage.
What we offer
- An opportunity to explore AI-assisted simulation development in an industrial engineering setting at AFRY.
- A thesis based at AFRY’s Gothenburg office, with results presented to its simulation team.
