      Ongoing projects

      REFUSE - Resource efficient use and development of reconfigurable machining systems

      The project aims to make processing systems more resource-efficient and extend their lifespan. This will be achieved by developing and demonstrating methods based on systematic and digital models. The methods will be used in the Swedish automotive industry to jointly plan, design, and use adaptable and sustainable processing systems for multiple generations of products. The objective is for the project to provide new knowledge, new methods, and best practices and guidelines.

      Facility Layout Design with Simulation-based Optimization: a Framework for Process, Flow, and Layout Optimization

      In nowadays manufacturing industries there is usually a lack of knowledge in decision makers and stakeholders to optimize production and logistics flows considering the shop floor layout. Decision support system through Simulation-Based Multi-Objective Optimization can be a significant approach for production and logistics system improvement. The main benefits are optimized solutions with an increased efficiency of the production, internal logistics and required space on the shop floor layout. Usually at a lower cost than consultancy companies, obtaining just the best optimal solutions and with the possibility of analyzing them without interrupting the system. The application of research with Simulation-based Optimization in manufacturing leads to significant improvements of complex systems as demonstrated in major manufacturing companies working together with universities and research centers.
