Abstract Ability to predict and control involved parameters and hence the outcome of sheet metal forming processes demand holistic knowledge of the product/-process parameter influences and their contribution in shaping the output product quality. Recent improvements in the ability to harvest inline production data and the capability to understand complex process behaviour through computer simulations opens up the possibility for...
A seminar and workshop for companies, NGOs and public organisations in Sweden. Frugal innovations aim at doing more and better with less. It can be a low-tech clay fridge or a high-tech portable ultrasound medical device. Regardless of technological sophistication and maturity, frugal innovations are perfectly suitable in a low resource setting where solutions need to be affordable, with substantial...

Abstract The engineering rationale, composed of established logic for the design and development of products, has been confronted by a shift to a circular economy. Digitalization (e.g., Industry 4.0) enables transformation, but it also increases relational complexities in scope and number. In Product–Service Systems (PSSs), the combination of manufactured goods and services should be delivered in new business models based...
The pandemic situation put an effective hold on the physical venue in Dubrovnik where the 16th International DESIGN conference was planned before the summer. Now the biannual DESIGN event organised by the Design Society were forced into an online version instead. Being a main forum to exchange experiences and lessons learned about engineering design from a variety of perspectives, disciplines,...

Tillsammans med Volvo Cars (Olofström), Telenor Connexion och Blue Science Part som koordinator har ett forsknings- och tillämpningsprojekt utförts inom “Test-arena Blekinge” med syfte att omvandla teori till praktisk tillämpbar kunskap inom Industri 4.0. Den industriella digitaliseringen har pågått sedan 90-talet och med senaste decenniets utveckling av “sakernas Internet” eller Internet of Things så öppnar sig fler möjligheter till att...
GreenCharge Infra (http://www.greencharge-infra.se/index.html) och Greencharge (https://greencharge.io/) har sina rötter i projektet GreenCharge II – en regional grön tillväxtmotor för omställningen till fossilfria transporter. Projektet var en regional kraftsamling mellan kommuner, regioner, landsting, länsstyrelser, akademi och näringsliv som pågick till och med 2018-12-31. Projektets medlemmar – kommuner, landsting, regioner och företag – visar vägen i omställningen genom att vara fossilfria senast...
