At AWL, we aim to increase the circularity of our machines as part of our sustainability goals. This internship offers two distinct, hands-on assignments under the overarching theme of circular economy. One focuses on the design side — evaluating materials and components for their reusability. The other targets machine usage — analyzing operational consumption to identify energy efficiency opportunities.

If you are interested but would like to shape the assignment differently, this can certainly be discussed in consultation.

Machine Energy & Air Consumption Analysis

What makes the assignment interesting for students?
This assignment allows you to combine technical measurements with strategic business thinking. You’ll explore how AWL machines operate in real-world settings, measure their energy and air use, and contribute to a more energy-efficient production process.

Goal of the assignment
Conduct a baseline measurement of energy and compressed air consumption of AWL’s most produced machines, analyze the results, and create a roadmap for reducing energy usage.

Tasks and responsibilities

·         Measure energy and air usage in various machine modes

·         Analyze usage patterns and identify high-consumption areas

·         Provide insight into how machine settings or designs can be optimized

·         Develop a roadmap with improvement steps for energy savings and operational efficiency
