The Model-Driven Decision Arena: Augmented Decision-Making for Product-Service Systems Design

Abstract The shift towards Product-Service Systems (PSS) stresses the need to embed new and unique capabilities in Decision Support Systems, with the aim of helping the engineering team in handling the pool of information and knowledge available during decision events. Emerging from a multiple case study in the Swedish manufacturing industry, this paper describes the development of the Model-Driven Decision...

Digital produktutveckling för en hållbar framtid!

Det enda vi har runt oss som inte är medvetet utvecklat är naturen – allt annat är utvecklat av människans hand. Produktutveckling är den medvetna processen att skapa de ting vi använder oss av i vår vardag. Bilar, flygplan, mjölkkartonger, allt är produktutvecklat. Professor Tobias Larsson forskar inom produktutveckling och leder profilen kring modelldriven produkt-tjänsteutveckling vid BTH.

The new compact Cyber Physical Factory!

With the ongoing transformation of industrial product development and production, and especially how Internet of Things (IoT), smart factories, cyber-physical systems and big data are driving technology capability – solutions must be ever faster, more diverse, more flexible and more intelligent, as well as sustainable, feasible, viable and desired. Together with Festo we are now installing an industry 4.0 facility to support...

For over a decade the research collaboration has been going on with Volvo CE/AB Volvo with development of an innovation model, training, deployment and measuring, in order to increase the innovation capability of the organization and ultimately arrive at new solutions to the market in line with the Volvo vision.

Volvo CE Electric Site demo at EXCON 2019 in Bangalore

Volvo CE is making steady progress towards realizing their sustainable construction vehicle goals of zero accidents, zero emissions, zero unplanned stops and 10x increase in efficiency. The main strategies include Autonomization, Electrification and Site Optimization.

VCE Electric Site Scaled Demo

Volvo CE is making steady progress towards realizing their sustainable construction vehicle goals of zero accidents, zero emissions, zero unplanned stops and 10x increase in efficiency. The main strategies include Autonomization, Electrification and Site Optimization. Through a strong partnership with Skanska, a full scale prototype site outside of Göteborg between will include all of these elements. This is an excellent...
