Internship | Graduation Project Software Engineering – WMS Order Pooling & Orchestration

In a warehouse, people and automation are increasingly working together. Think of employees on the shop floor, but also conveyors, sorting systems, and AGVs. All these activities must be carried out at the right time and in the right place.

During this graduation project, you will investigate how we can more intelligently group, plan, and distribute activities within our Warehouse Management System (WMS). With your research and implementation, you will help us take the next step in smart work distribution within the warehouse.

You will, among other things:

• Investigating how we can better align workload and available capacity
• How we can intelligently group activities into task pools
• Delving into order pooling, such as batch, multi-order, and cluster picking
• Investigating how priorities, start times, and deadlines can be incorporated into the work distribution
• Designing a dashboard that provides insight into, for example, workload, capacity, and progress
• Further developing, building, and testing the best solution

Your implementation can ultimately form the basis for a central work distribution module within our WMS.

You are studying HBO-ICT and are looking for a graduation project in which you can combine research with building a concrete solution. You enjoy thoroughly analyzing a technical problem and are curious about the world behind smart logistics.

Additionally:

• Do you find it interesting to analyze and improve processes
• Are you interested in software development and logistics
• Do you like thinking about how something can be smarter or more efficient
• Are you communicatively skilled
• Do you live within commuting distance of Zevenaar
• You master the Dutch language

• An experienced mentor who will guide you well during your graduation project
• A fixed moment every week with your mentor
• Plenty of space to work independently on your research and solution
• A pleasant and informal working environment
• Flexibility and space to contribute your own ideas
• An internship allowance of €500 per month
