Stage in Product Management – Database Special Variants Project

Stage in Product Management – Database Special Variants Project

Intern

With its five product lines of compact hydraulics Bosch Rexroth Oil Control SpA, with factories in the province of Modena and Reggio Emilia and over 1,300 employees, has been producing and marketing compact hydraulic components for multiple applications for over 40 years, from aerial platforms to cranes, earth‑moving machinery, agricultural machinery, industrial applications.

What characterizes Bosch Rexroth Oil Control S.p.A. is the ability to study customized solutions in relation to each specific customer requirement. For this reason, the products of Bosch Rexroth Oil Control S.p.A. are synonymous with quality and represent a guarantee for the global market.

In industrial hydraulics, Bosch Rexroth is actively shaping the transition from conventional to intelligent and connected hydraulics. This opens up enormous potential for the easy and economical integration of machines and systems into modern industrial environments.

Our R&D department based in Nonantola (MO) is a centre of global competence for Compact Hydraulic products.

Our company develops numerous special versions of its products on a daily basis to meet the needs of customers and different markets. The growing complexity has made it increasingly difficult to track, categorize, and leverage the solutions already created, resulting in a higher workload for the Engineering department.

For this reason, we are launching a strategic project: the creation of a structured and easily accessible database that collects and organizes all the “special” versions developed over time. This tool will become essential to improving internal efficiency, optimizing decision‑making processes, and reducing redundant activities.

The internship offers direct involvement in this project, as well as participation in the main activities of the Product Management department.
