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.

Strategies and Standards for Smart Swedish Industries

The project - Strategies and Standards for Smart Sw edish Industry - has aims at strengthening Swedens position as a leading country in the area of Smart Industry.

SmartSol

In order to meet the national requirements within the Swedish building sector you must have a cost efficient, scalable and integrated solution for heating, cooling and electricity.

BattVolt

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.

PreECOnLub

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.

PolyFree

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.

Full Scale Modular Triblade (FSMT)

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.
