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,...
The continuous collaboration with Stanford on the global innovation course ME310 (sponsored by Volvo Group) has rendered global recognition! The ReGlove project is featured as one of 20 global finalists in The James Dyson Awards! The winner is to be selected in November. Read newsletter
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...
On 17 September, Karlskrona Municipality organized the digital conference “Sustainable shared mobility” where the question of how sustainable transport solutions can be a good deal even for smaller cities. Read more about the conference (and see it in its entirety) at https://www.karlskrona.se/mobilitet . Professor Tobias Larsson participated with a lecture; “From fossil to electric; Transformation of infrastructure and vehicles”. Below...
The podcast Future Industry was this week hosted by Professor Tobias Larsson, from Blekinge Institute of Technology. He talks about how those with digital models and simulations early in product development can calculate costs, values and environmental impact for the end product. Find the podcast and more about the research at the link below. Att förutse produkters hållbarhet innan de...
För att tackla de stora folkhälsoutmaningarna såsom livsstilssjukdomar och en åldrande befolkning samtidigt som vi skapar förutsättningar för regional innovation och tillväxt görs en blekingsk satsning inom området hälso- och idrottsteknik med BTH i spetsen.
