Simulation is a powerful tool for analyzing production processes and flows. The combination of simulation and AI makes it possible to solve and optimize very complex problems. The presentation shows practical use in industry, for example to automatically identify bottlenecks and provide suggestions for measures.
Production for Future – industrial AI meets the gender equality challenge
Johan Bengtsson, Head of Technology Development, Gothenburg Technical College
Matilda Hurtig, Project Manager, Gothenburg College of Technology
Everyone is talking AI, but we see few examples from production. Johan Bengtsson will talk about AI and give examples from the project's mini-factories connected to industry.
Everyone is talking about equality, what can be done? Matilda Hurtig talks about the importance of diversity and inclusion. In the project, for example, we have worked to raise female role models in technology.
Research Demonstrators
Kristina Eriksson, docent University West
Research at the university continuously creates new demonstrators to test new solutions. The exhibition shows the following examples:
Time to visit exhibitors, startup companies, take part in the demonstrators and meet industry colleagues inside the Production Technology Center.
The afternoon sessions focus on automation projects, circularity and the importance of the organization for successful automation.
The importance of the acceptance test for a successful commissioning
Peter Karlsson, Evomatic AB
Ronny Eriksson, Ovako AB
Ovako Steel has installed a robotic palletizing equipment for stock blanks. The project shows how important the acceptance test (FAT) is. EVOMATIC and Ovako Steel talk about their lessons learned from the project as supplier and customer respectively.
Transform the recycling industry through automation
Emil Falk, CEO of WindowGlass Recycling AB
Learn how a small startup goes to sales success by developing and building ground-breaking machines for recycling window glass that would otherwise end up in landfill. At the same time, a global sand crisis is being fought.
Circularity in a contract manufacturing company
Victor Backman, CEO Främmestadverken AB
Peder Edholm, project manager AH Automation AB
Främmestadverken chose to rebuild existing equipment instead of investing in a processing cell in connection with a new order.
