Daimler Trucks Driveline Innovation

The team will work closely with Daimler representatives to:

Remove the hurdle of updating database manually
Set up the Tool logic to be independent for every shaft
Set up thorough Error Checks
Automate manual steps of the Tool whilst still allowing manual operations as a contingency
Allow pre-set values to be overwritten for prototyping purposes
Analyze Tool data to understand the common CWO trends

How will the project tasks be sub-divided?

Product Development Teams: The priority is to develop an update to the current tool to cut down reliance on manual operations. A higher-level goal, after the development of the basic tool, is to incorporate aspects of Machine Learning and AI to automate as many aspects of the design process as possible.

SCRUM Master

Developers

Data Analysis/Mechanical Engineering: The secondary goal of the project is to analyze the custom work order trends to identify common causes of manual operations on ordered trucks.

Goals:

Students will use the SCRUM methodology to develop and update the Driveline Custom Work Order (CWO).
Students will learn to work in an industry setting with Daimler representatives to develop user stories, prioritize them and conduct regular sprints to introduce features in the tool.
Students will also learn the use of GitHub and documentation standards.
In addition, students will learn to use ZOS APIs to interact with the mainframe and extract data.
Students will learn to test and debug the application. Alongside, evolving their programming skills, students will also learn how to set up databases and use the IBM DB2 Tables.
Students will be hone skills in UI/UX by developing a user-friendly interaction tool.
Students will also learn the analysis of commercial vehicle drivetrain performance, packaging and limitations.
Students will also learn data analysis on large quantities of build data to identify potential improvements and innovations. This will innovate/ improve the efficiency and prototyping ability of DTNA’s driveline design/integration team.
Students will also learn leadership and communication skills pertinent to professional collaboration.
