Method to understand how to automate information handling to get more efficient handling of production deviations.
Objectives
Production and logistics are highly complex due to dependencies among many interacting systems, dynamics, and frequent changes. A consequence is frequent deviations from production plan despite systematic work to increase process stability. The project is aimed at supporting the handling of deviations and re-scheduling of tasks by solutions that automate relevant information flows and processes. The project develops a model framework that identifies and describes needs for support, information and automation, and a methodology that guides companies to specify their needs.
Impact and Results
Competitiveness is expected to increase as result of more automated and efficient handling of deviations within production. The expected impact from implementing such information automation is faster reaction and flexibility to deviations and changes of production plans, as well as reduced propagated effects. The methodology can give companies a good base for future investments that employ technological solutions, thereby increasing automation use. Furthermore, increased automation will give access to relevant information and increase knowledge of events.
Approach
Framework and methodology is formed by experiences from case studies in industrial partner companies, which cover different needs and aspects. The intention is to enhance the state-of-art and provide important solutions for increased digitalization and information automation. A crucial part of the project is the knowledge dissemination of solutions to Swedish industry, especially SMEs. The 30-month project is lead by Swerea IVF together with Chalmers Univ. of Techn., Royal Inst. of Techn., Brogren Industries, Federal-Mogul, Volvo Penta, Tyri Lights, and Marcus Komponenter.
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.

This project aims to contribute to the development of future ERP-systems. The project will explore how to offer work, redefine work roles and challenge companies to make use of advanced systems support and the technology within and around these. Overall, the project aims to contribute to the development of both the next generation of ERP-systems and a complementary change in the way firms see upon work organization, so that technology can support and meet the needs of the humans within organisations rather than enforcing structures upon them.

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.

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.
2021 – 2021
SCARCE II will develop a demonstrator to show how SMEs and associated value flows can increase efficiency, competitiveness, sustainability and internal collaboration through digitalisation. The goal is to show the value of a new digital solution. SCARCE focuses on two subcontractors in the value chain linked to Scania and Volvo. The demonstrator is a cloud-based solution that connects three test beds in the industry; Stena Industry Innovation Lab, Chalmers, RISE IVF lab, Mölndal and KTH's test bed in Södertälje with the help of Siemens, AFRY, Qbim, Virtual Manufacturing and EQPack.
