Methods for 3D scanned digital twins for efficient development and installation of production facilities at SMEs
There is a pronounced need to reduce cost, time and difficulties for automation system and line builders to properly model, design and install equipment. With technology and working methods for 3D scanning of production facilities, a digital twin of the production system can easily be created. This can be used to support layout planning, 3D geometry, programming, installation, and calibration. The project’s goal is to develop customized and useful methods for small and medium-sized businesses based on established state-of-the-art business practices.
The project develops a methodology for SMEs to create digital twins of their production environment and a web-based environment for trouble-free storage and access. In addition, a methodology is proposed for layout planning, 3D design, and robotic programming in the digital twin. Essential result is the methodology for installation and adjustment so that the physical installation turn out exactly as the modeled digital twin. The project provides SMEs the benefits of 3D scanning. Thus allowing equipment to be installed faster, with increased quality, fewer errors and reduced costs.
The project is carried out by partners with knowledge of 3D scanning (RISE, Chalmers, ATS, GIAB, Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks) together with manufacturing companies (Parker Hannifin, Plastal, KB Components and Blomdahls), automation vendors (Plamex and 3ButtonGroup) and software vendors / consultants (Siemens Industrial Software and Summ Systems). Case studies will be conducted in the project at participating companies. The work is divided into work packages for current state, digitization / web environment, modelling, installation / adjustment, Dissemination, and management.

Maintenance in existing plants is becoming increasingly important, where predictive maintenance has become an emerging technology. The use of decision support tools contributes to environmentally and economically sustainable production. Within this project, different types of digital twins have been designed and evaluated. Specifically, new predictive model types have been tested in two different industrial case studies; a heat exchanger at SSAB and a profiled header at Svenska Fönster AB.

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.
2020 – 2022
