Virtual PaintShop – Simulation of Oven Curing

Virtual PaintShop – Simulation of Oven Curing

The paintshop is often a bottleneck in production and the processes are fine-tuned based on testing on numerous prototypes. To meet the future demands there is a great need to improve the product preparation process. The aim is to develop methods, techniques and software, and supporting measurement methodology, for simulation of paint curing in IR and convective ovens. The goal is to assist the industry to further develop and optimize their surface treatment to be more energy and cost efficient; to have a shorter lead time in product development; and to give a higher product quality.

Today the battery cells in the electric vehicles are not being used in an optimal way, especially in regards to large battery systems which contains a large amount of battery cells. Here, there is the possibility of making noticeable savings if only a method is found where the battery cells in question can be used more optimally.

Carbon-nanostructures has awoken a new interest in the development of, amongst others, carbonbased additives for lubricants and refrigerants. The last decade has brought new focus to carbonmaterials due to its high chemical stability, superior characteristics, and low environmental impact in comparison to the sulphurbased additives that are today included in lubricants.

Plastic is a common topic of debate, often from a negative perspective. This is often justified, but not always, as plastic still is a key material with many unique and highly in demand characteristics.

The highest priority for wind power today is to reduce the total cost of electricity production, i.e. SEK per kWh. One of the components which affects the cost the most is the wind turbines' rotor blades. They require large amounts of expensive material and are largely made by hand in one, long piece. This leads to significant challenges in both manufacturing and transport.

Digital Technology Workshop – Smart and digital production for the smaller manufacturing company

A digitized production can increase quality, improve collaboration across teams and department boundaries and contribute to improved profitability. Likewise, the company's sustainability work and business can be developed. Great values ​​can be obtained by moving from paper and unmanageable Excel files to sensors and data made visible. But how can smaller manufacturing companies start, and row ashore, the digital journey based on the conditions in their own operations?
