Hi all, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Carl Philip Fredborg and I am a Global Graduate at SKF. I\u2019m an engineer from KTH in Stockholm where I studied production engineering & management. Let me tell you about my journey in the SKF graduate program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


First rotation<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I joined SKF the first weeks were reserved for getting to know SKF, the other graduates and trainings. These weeks were intense in many ways but also rewarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent my first rotation at the central\nfunction Manufacturing and Process Development. Here my main project was to map\nthe gap between today\u2019s automated production and full autonomy. The project\ngave me a lot of insights into the bearing production of SKF, automation and obviously bearings. But more\nimportantly, learning about the importance of effective and high-quality production\nplants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Second rotation<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my second rotation I joined the IoT development team in Schweinfurt Germany. Here I was working with a connectivity project for our factories. Briefly explained; we were developing a device that enables SKF to utilize the power of the cloud on a shop floor level. My responsibility was to finalize the operation model for this device. This area was something completely new for me and I learned a lot about IT, IoT, industry 4.0 and what all of this means for SKF, both in terms of opportunities and challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Rotation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On my third and last rotation I am working\nwith our latest acquisition, RecondOil. This is a clean-tech startup that has\ninvented and patented a process that enables circular recovery of oil and the\nre-use of industrial oils with its original properties. In other words, we can\nuse oil again, again and again where traditionally it has only been used once.\nBy utilizing this technology, we can cut carbon emission with up to 90%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At RecondOil I\u2019m working with the implementation into our own factories where we are consuming industrial lubricants. We are expecting to see benefits in three areas: less spend on industrial lubricants, less CO2<\/sub> emissions and better process quality. I\u2019m really excited about this sustainable technology and I believe we can make a difference for our own manufacturing plants and customers but also the polar bears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
