Master's Thesis - Predictive Maintenance Using AI

We are now looking for a Master’s thesis student in Data Science / Machine Learning to take this research to the next level.

Location: Atlas Copco Industrial Technique, Nacka Stockholm

Project: Leveraging AI for Early Detection of Maintenance Issues in Tightening Tools

At Atlas Copco, we are continuously innovating to make industrial operations smarter and more efficient. We have developed a deep learning–based anomaly detection model capable of identifying various types of irregularities in tightening tools. This technology holds great potential to revolutionize predictive maintenance — enabling us to anticipate failures before they occur.

Your Mission

• Leverage and interpret the outputs from our existing anomaly detection model.
• Develop innovative methods to aggregate model outputs and related sensor data.
• Design algorithms or metrics that can predict potential maintenance issues before a tool breaks.

What You’ll Work With
•    Real-world industrial IoT and sensor data from Atlas Copco tightening tools.
•    Advanced machine learning techniques, such as gradient boosting machines and deep learning (experience with deep learning is a plus).
•    Data preprocessing and cleaning for model training.
•    Model evaluation, including performance metrics and loss function design.
 

What We’re Looking For
•    Background in Data Science, Machine Learning, or related fields.
•    Strong understanding of supervised and unsupervised learning techniques.
•    Experience with Python and libraries such as scikit-learn and PyTorch.
•    Curiosity, problem-solving mindset, and a drive to turn data into actionable insights.
 

Duration & Start
•    Master’s thesis project
•    Start: Flexible, early 2026 preferred
