The Knowledge Foundation (KK-stiftelsen) has awarded the University of Sk\u00f6vde funding for a research profile entitled Virtual factories and knowledge-driven optimization. In total, the funds include eight-year-long research profiles close to SEK 100 million.<\/p>\n

The research profile \u2019Virtual factories and knowledge-driven optimization\u2019 (VF-KDO) will be included in the university\u2019s INFINIT research environment. The overall general aim of the research profile is to contribute to the knowledge and innovations within virtual development and optimization techniques that are decisive to design and drive the next generation\u2019s manufacturing systems. Behind the application that was granted by the Knowledge Foundation are Amos Ng and Anna Syberfelt who are both professors at the university\u2019s School of Engineering Science.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s great fun. It is clearly the biggest thing that has happened to this branch of research here at the University of Sk\u00f6vde. It is the result of long-term work during the past 10-15 years which has led to this\u201d, Anna Syberfelt says and Amos Ng continues: \u201dThis also means that we can strengthen our leading position within the area nationally. Many thanks are also due to the manufacturing industry that we collaborate with who have also made this possible\u201d.<\/p>\n

Optimizing the whole production chain<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The work in the research profile that started on 1 September 2018 will mainly focus on testing, in different ways, industrial solutions in a virtual environment. In this way, industrial companies can conduct development – without needing to invest in incomplete solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201dWith us, companies can test almost anything from the smallest sensor to whole factories. What is unique with our virtual tests is also that the whole production chain is optimized. Using tests it can otherwise be easy that each part is optimized separately. But here we adopt a holistic approach\u201d Anna Syberfelt continues.<\/p>\n

Funded by the Knowledge Foundation and partner companies<\/strong><\/h4>\n

All in all, the Knowledge Foundation is contributing with approximately SEK 49 million (including overhead costs) which is distributed over eight years. The University of Sk\u00f6vde and its partner companies also contribute with approximately the same amount. All research funded by the Knowledge Foundation is conducted in close collaboration with companies. In this research profile, the university\u2019s researchers will collaborate with Volvo Car Corporation, Volvo Group Trucks Operations, Scania CV, IKEA Industry, Flexlink, Arla Foods G\u00f6tene and ABB.<\/p>\n

\u201dWill be important work\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201dBeing able to meet tomorrow\u2019s challenges not least considering digitalization will be very important work. We know that the University of Sk\u00f6vde is good at ergonomy and flow simulations and that knowledge will be useful to us. Research is also important as it gives a basis on which to make decisions about future investments\u201d says Lars Hansson from Scania CV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
