We are looking for a Master thesis student to join our team in Göteborg!

Topic proposed: Remote Asset Tracking Management Info System

Duration: 20 weeks, on-site

Background

For one of our projects for a large mining company in Australia, we deliver the INTERFLO150 solution. This is a computer based train control system used in industrial applications. The system interfaces a number of external systems in the process of loading, moving and unloading material. As part of this each train in the system can be monitored for information reporting and operation optimization.

Problem description and goals

The thesis work consist in gathering and handling the asset data of a large number of individual ore wagons sending their GPS position, amongst other data, in order to provide uninterrupted Remote Asset Tracking. The tracking shall be displayed in a way that it can support different operational scenarios.

• Satellite/LTE radio IoT Solutions to provide Uninterrupted Remote Asset Tracking
• Develop Backoffice application with ability to
  • Track and trace
  • Status of asset
  • Trips and km travelled, various KPI
  • Show assets on track map
  • Productivity and movements monitoring
  • Location within train set
• Use of commercial-off-the-shelf products e.g. to propose and implement a physical solution
• Reporting functions
  • Real time
  • Search function
  • History tracking
  • Alarms
• Extended functionality (TBD)
  • Support Yard Management
  • Synch with tag reader
  • Support operation and shunting
  • Drag & Drop Track Map to support shunting in yard to set routes
