2010-01: The divisions of Functional Product Development, Experimental Mechanics, and Mathemathics have gotten hypothesis testing from VINNOVA. SUMMARY The hypothesis in this project is that it is possible to perform a quantitative evaluation of predefined attributes for a physical product in a manufacturing process in less than one second. Today essentially all product attributes are controlled off-line which limits the...
Fordonsstrategisk Forskning och Innovation – FFI Energy and environment PROJECT SUMMARY The need to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels is a major factor influencing governments and industry and decisions being made for future investments. In this vein, Volvo Construction Equipment AB has identified a new transmission technology which has been shown to offer a substantial saving in fuel consumption....
Project summary The project goal is to identify needs for new/complementary methods and tools to enhance the possibilities for evaluation of new, groundbreaking, technologies in the early development phases of vehicle platform development. Project information Project Leader: Tobias Larsson Type: Research Application area: Vehicle Time frame: 2009-2012 Funding: 12 MSEK (6 MSEK VINNOVA Vehicle Development FFI) Research unit: Luleå University...
VINNOVA Vehicle Development FFI 2009-2012 (ongoing) PROJECT SUMMARY New environmentally friendly, and safer, vehicles require lighter and stronger materials, something that requires developments in production technologies and processes. New ideas for knowledge automation and reuse enables better usage of machine data during the production process. The new concepts and methodologies will be developed and tested in industrial case studies PROJECT...
National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: PROJECT SUMMARY This project, Mechanical whole engine conceptual design and analysis: A MEthodology for OPtimization, Integration and Automation, is a continuation of the pilot study project NFFP4202 – Mechanical whole engine modelling where a platform, together with a pilot that demonstrated the capability of the platform in an industrial scenario, was developed. This continuation...
DIM – Digital Integrated Manufacturing INTERREG IV:A:NORD 2009-2011 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY Benefits of new technology are not just for bigger enterprises! Is Your company productive and competitive? Even in the future competition?Against new actors and technology? Or might there be things You could do more efficient with new tools! What? How? How to find out? These type of questions are...
CRESCENDO – Collaborative and Robust Engineering using Simulation Capability Enabling Next Design Optimisation EU FP7 Integrated Project 2009-2012 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY The IMG4 project CRESCENDO addresses the Vision 2020 objectives for the aeronautical industry by contributing significantly to the fulfilment of three specific targets of the aeronautical industry’s Strategic Research Agenda. CRESCENDO will develop the foundations for the Behavioural Digital...
Knowledge Foundation and VINNOVA together with partner companies PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose is to develop an integrated approach to SPD (Sustainable Product Development) and FPD (Functional Product Development). The primary focus is on simulation support for prediction of risks and opportunities of extended value-chain cooperation around a full product life-cycle commitment. This is intended as input for prioritizations in product...
Project summary The concept of product-service system (PSS), or functional product development, will be a main component in a future sustainable society. A PSS paradigm will, not only, change the use of products and services, but also the development approaches. This since the responsibility of the physical artefact throughout the life-cycle is remaining with the providing enterprise. The perspectives of...
The Faste Laboratory – A VINN Excellence Centre VINN Excellence Centre for Functional Product Innovation. 2007-2016 (ongoing) PROJECT SUMMARY Functional Product Innovation will be the main contribution to sustainable growth in that the function provider will have the responsibility of the physical artefact throughout the life-cycle and by innovations also have the capacity to continuously improve the customer value. Vision:...
