The goal is to mirror the production and make custom information available for industry personnel.
The project will explore how an interactive overview, a “digital mirror” of production, can be designed and made available in a production environment to support production staff, increase work motivation and increase efficiency.
Protective equipment, dust and high noise levels are common phenomena in the production environment and can prevent easy and user-friendly interaction with classic digital interfaces. The project aims to explore and rethink ideas for interfaces using techniques such as informative sounds, sensors, leading color or interactive surfaces to help production professionals easily interact and capture digital content. Such a service can also increase the understanding of production staff for their role in the production system.
The long-term goal of the research project is to develop hardware and software platform, i.e. modular systems that enables production workers to easily build and implement IoT-aided improvement solutions at the production shop floor
2017 – 2018
Recent research from Chalmers have shown that by slightly tuning robot motions, the energy use can be reduced by 10 –30%, with preserved cycle time.
2017 – 2020
Industrial production systems typically include many process steps performed by automatic or semi-automatic machines. Depending on the different variables, these machines age and thereby affecting both the quality of the manufacturing step and the resource requirements
2017 – 2018
The objective is to bring together expertise from AI and LCE to Product/Service Systems for Swedish manufacturing firms in a multidisciplinary research effort to utilise latest techniques efficiently for Swedish production industry. The goal is to make a plan of developing demonstrators in production and maintenance using artificial intelligence techniques, digital technologies and lifecycle engineering methods
2019 – 2019
Increased digitalization brings new possibilities for Swedish manufacturing companies. This project focuses on what data are needed to feed assembly variation simulation and how this data can be captured and stored efficiently and effectively. The project contributes to increased geometrical quality. The technical value chain from part inspection, to extraction of relevant data, storage of data, usage of data in variation simulation (as a digital twin) and to visualization of simulation results as decision support will be covered. This has the potential to replace prototypes/test series and saves cost, time and reduces the environmental impact.
2019 – 2019
The aim of the project is to demonstrate utilization of additive manufacturing for copper-based products and process solutions and faster adaption
2016 – 2018
The aim is to develop new models for visualizing and predicting delivery schedule variations in supply chains.
2018 – 2021
The EVASTIR project will support the Swedish automotive industry with the transition from internal combustion engine to battery electric vehicles, while introducing new sustainable manufacturing processes. This project will develop a welding process, FSW, to support design and fabrication a cost-effective, scalable, lightweight and crash-resistant battery tray for electric vehicles. The specific technical objectives of this project are to develop FSW procedures for dissimilar material joints of cast and extruded aluminium alloys and for high speed welding to 5m/min.
2019 – 2021
TriBlade is a new ground-breaking technology for rotor blades in wind turbines, which have the potential to affect the entire wind power market. The technology has been developed by Winfoor in collaboration with Lund University and is based on each rotor blade designed as a truss.
