About The Company
Vanderlande is a market-leading, global partner for future-proof logistic process automation in the warehousing, airports and parcel sectors. Its extensive portfolio of integrated solutions – innovative systems, intelligent software and life-cycle services – results in the realisation of fast, reliable and efficient automation technology. The company focuses on the optimisation of its customers’ business processes and competitive positions. Through close cooperation, it strives for the improvement of their operational activities and the expansion of their logistical achievements. Established in 1949, Vanderlande has more than 11,000 employees and a turnover of 2.3 billion euros. Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) acquired Vanderlande in 2017 to cement its global leading position within material handling. It aims to achieve this by increasing its presence in all integrated and automated projects, and capitalising on the synergies between the organisations and the added value they offer to the market. TICO therefore launched the Toyota Automated Logistics Group (TALG), which consists of Toyota L&F, Bastian Solutions, Vanderlande and viastore. TALG is a global partner for integrated logistic process automation, with its group companies collaborating under the guiding principle: for every challenge, a reliable solution. In May 2025, Vanderlande completed the acquisition of Siemens Logistics' operations outside the USA and in doing so welcomed more than 2,000 new employees. The acquisition supports the company’s strategic ambition to accelerate its growth in automated logistics, particularly strengthening its capacity to deliver baggage, cargo and digital airport solutions.
About the Role

Job Title

Internship: From Data to Insight in Engineering Tools

Job Description

Assignment type: Internship

Start date: September 2026

Assignment duration: 6 months

Location: Veghel

Education level: Bachelor / Master

Desired study: IT / Software engineering / Data Science

Language: Dutch/English

Description of assignment

Vanderlande is a market leader in logistics process automation. Within ICT, we develop tools that help our engineers design advanced conveyors and sorting systems. These tools come together in the Engineering Suite of Tools (ESoT), with the System Designer at its core: an AutoCAD and Revit plugin used to design complete systems.

Think of it as Rollercoaster Tycoon for conveyor systems. What you build digitally is actually manufactured and installed at airports and warehouses around the world.

In this role, you’ll dive into smart monitoring, logging, and alerting within the ESoT landscape. You’ll turn operational data into clear insights and create intuitive dashboards that spot issues before they become visible. Together with software developers, you’ll help build a strong observability culture by recognizing patterns, visualizing trends, and truly understanding system behavior.

Department description

The department ‘Applications Engineering’ consists of 2 teams. Team B develops and supports the tools that make up the Engineering Suite of Tools (ESoT). This is a range of different servers and applications that support the engineering process from sales to supply. 

In total 11 people form Team B: 9 developers, 1 Product owner and 1 Scrum master. Backgrounds vary, seniority too, but all are very willing to cooperate and share knowledge. The student will work on his/her own project, with 2 direct supervisors but with the support of the team in an agile way. 

Tasks/responsibilities

The aim of this internship is to transform operational ESoT data into clear insights by building dashboards and smart alerts that improve system visibility and proactive incident detection: 

  • Telemetry Treasure Hunting 
    Collect, process and analyze logs and metrics from ESoT environments to identify useful insights and opportunities for improvement. 
  • Dashboard Creation & Storytelling 
    Build intuitive dashboards that turn raw data into visual stories for both technical and non‑technical audiences. 
  • Alert Crafting & Optimization 
    Design and test alerting rules that are smart, actionable, and non‑spammy—improving signal-to-noise ratio for Ops and Engineering teams. 
  • Operational Insight Experiments 
    Run small exploratory analyses to find anomalies, trends, and operational blind spots. 
  • Share and protect the knowledge 
    Write short guides, visuals, or mini “field notes from the InsightOps internship” to help teams understand and use the dashboards and alerts you create. 

Your profile

  • You have a curious mindset and interest in understanding system behavior
  • You are proactive, open to learn, and willing to experiment
  • Enjoys collaborating with a team of software developers
  • *Mandatory enrolment to a Dutch Education System & resident of The Netherlands.
