VaViM – Validation of virtual models used for simulation of autonomous vehicle systems | 2022

In order to achieve scalability and robustness, verification and validation (V&V) of self-driving vehicle systems need to be largely performed virtually. This requires validated models on sensors, vehicles and environments where the systems are to operate. The aim of this pre-study is to identify state-of-the-art (SoA) and high-priority research questions within methods for validating models required for virtual V&V of...

I-Stamp – Intelligent and sustainable stamping processes using hybrid control strategies together with process monitoring | 2021-2024

The machine tool investment for stamping (presses and tools) is cost intensive in the automotive industry. The machine tool investment for stamping (presses and tools) is cost intensive in the automotive sector. Maximizing return on investment (ROI) against these assets is crucial for maintaining a healthy bottom line. Additionally, minimizing the amount of scrap is necessary to become more competitive...

Ligth2Sustainable – Kompetenscenter för pressnings- och formningsteknologi | 2021-2022

Teknisk utveckling och globalisering förändrar ständigt förutsättningarna för industrier världen över. Den senaste utvecklingen inom informations- och kommunikationsteknik har förkortat geografiska avstånd och öppnat nya marknader, vilket resulterat i uppdelning av produktionsprocesser i allt mindre beståndsdelar för att utnyttja konkurrensfördelarna på olika platser. Produktionen idag och i framtiden kommer att fortsätta att ske inom i stort sett sammanlänkade globala värdekedjor,...
