Kunskapsförmedlingen Virtual demonstrators for parallel product and production system development
2013 – 2017
Project time: 2017 – 2018
Budget: 715 000 kr
Funding: SIP Produktion2030
The overall purpose is to prevent work injuries and improve health as well as production quality. This is done through an automated system for risk assessment, building on smart clothes. The specific aim is to develop a system for feedback through vibrations, voice or visual displays that facilitates the operator´s work of identifying improvement opportunities.
It is expected that the operator is given opportunities to improve their work technique and the quality of the work performed, based on the feedback from the smart clothes. Another expectation is that the operators learn which work tasks that are unsuitable, and get inspired to change these themselves, or that they take an initiative together with their managers in order to take actions to improve aspects that are outside the control of the operators.
The project develops and tests systems for feedback to the operators, where vibratory feedback is compared to voice and visual feedback. The tests are performed in an educational workshop where operators are working with assembly and materials handling. Equipment and solutions are improved iteratively based on the results. The emphasis is on creating feedback that support learning and an active approach and engagement in improvement work.

With globalization and other megatrends as demographic changes and climate change, more knowledge is needed regarding production in an international perspective. PADOK Study Visit in India 2016 have given an increased knowledge regarding how production is conducted in India, some of the challenges producing companies in that region is facing and how Swedish companies interested in investing in production in India could act to establish themselves in the region.

Tooling constitutes a significant part in the economical investment of the hot stamping process. Significant benefits in production economy and environmental benefits can be attained by improving the tribological performance in hot forming operations of automotive components. The main idea of this project is to create tailored tool surfaces on dies made from cheaper and easier to manufacture tool steel for the hot stamping of ultra-high strength steels.
