Two major disruptive trends – electrification and digitalization are changing customer preferences, leading to the probably most substantial transformation in the automotive industry we observed in decades. Finding a balance between customer’s requirements towards “zero-emission vehicle,” “connected car,” choice of materials, clarity of functions, and interface modes under the pressure of production time and cost are not easy. The AttributDo-project aims to help engineers create, define, verify and validate new and existing design features for new product development.
The main research question we want to answer is “How can new and existing design attributes be defined and validated for a complete vehicle?” The AttributDo intended to help in verification of new, undefined today, quality attributes. Successful communication of these attributes can be achieved only with the ability to manage the perception of quality throughout the production cycles. The use of gamification as a means of learning from customer feedback makes for a more sustainable design process. AttributeDo reflects real-world situations and magnifies the important details.
The AttributDo will be designed by game-based learning researchers with the assistance of researchers and professionals of the automotive industry. The results are both research-oriented as well as industry-focused. During the project, the different stages in the development will be documented. This data be used to write different conference papers, journal papers, and chapters in the field of game study, sustainability, and engineering. The involved universities will verify the AttributDo app early prototype by organizing workshops together with Geely Design and CEVT.

A large number of building boards are used in both construction and furniture manufacturing. They are usually made of sawdust with a formaldehyde-based adhesive as a binder. However, they have some problems, including the fact that shavings absorb moisture and that formaldehyde is both allergenic and potentially carcinogenic. The LigniGC project aims to develop a better alternative.

SCARCE will investigate the needs, possibilities and obstacles in value chains up- and down-stream from a focal SME company. SCARCE will explore what data to measure and visualize, and how this data can enable more automated execution, as well as, more dynamic and proactive planning of production capacity and material flows across the companies in the value chain. In addition, we will study organizational capabilities, especially the future human role, for implementing and managing in a digital and data-driven value chain.

Cyclicor, which has its origins at Lund University, has in a previous project within Mistra Innovation successfully developed a method for producing the plastics polycarbonate (PC) and polyurethane (PU) without toxic additives. One goal of the Polyfree 2.0 project is to increase the production of the new plastics from lab scale to quantities that enable the participating industrial companies in turn to take steps towards finished products. Other goals are for the plastics to be recyclable as well as have the required properties.
2021 – 2023
The project’s goal is to show that ultrasonic alignment of fibres can be used in sheet moulding compound (SMC) based manufacturing to tailor the alignment of fibres in pressed components.

For more than a hundred years, lubricants for various types of machines have mainly been made from fossil oil. The function has improved over time, but they also have disadvantages; they negatively affect the environment, human health and the climate. The project will therefore work to improve the practical applications by, together with other tests, combining lab tests with field tests.

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.
