Opportunities for robotic automation in wood product industries : The supplier and system integrators' perspective
- 2017
-
Ingår i: 27th International Conference on Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing, FAIM2017. - : Elsevier. ; 11, s. 233-240
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, the opportunities for automation in the poorly automated wood product industry are highlighted. This isaccomplished by conducting a qualitative interview study of suppliers and system integrators for industrial robots active in thisparticular industry sector. Five case companies are chosen in order to explore the unique dimensions responsible for successfulautomation implantation in wood product companies. Results show that a low understanding of automation opportunities, unclearrequirements specifications, and small production volumes are the main problems for suitable automation solutions. Althoughwood is a fragile and changeable material, existing technology allows its manipulation with industrial robots.

Factory-in-a-Box - Solutions for Availability and Mobility of Flexible Production Capacity
- 2007
-
Ingår i: The Swedish Production Symposium,2007.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The objective of this paper is to present examples of how to realize a flexible and reconfigurable production system. An ongoing research project in Sweden called Factory-in-a-Box will be presented which is one research initiative within this area. The purpose of the Factory-in-a-Box project is to develop solutions for mobile production capacity on demand. Three key features have been identified as enablers for these kinds of production capabilities: mobility, flexibility, and speed. The concept consists of standardized modules that can be installed in e.g. containers and easily transported by trucks, rail vehicles, and boats. The modules can easily be combined into complete production systems and reconfigured for new products and/or scaled to handle new volumes. The goal of the Factory-in-a-Box project is to build fully operative production modules that are developed in close cooperation between different academic and industrial partners. This paper will present the results from these demonstrators giving examples of the usability of the Factory-in-a-Box concept in industry.

The future of industrial robot business: Product or performance based?
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Procedia Manufacturing. - : Elsevier BV. - 2351-9789. ; 25, s. 495-502
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The robot market today is mainly based on product-centered sales concepts. In the future, traditional procurement of industrial robots can be expected to become less important and the business models will shift the focus towards leasing or even pay-per-use. This paper discusses how these new business models should be designed and what components and features are needed for successful implementation. Digitalization, circular economy, cultural barriers, business traditions and fear of new philosophies are investigated and put into the context of the advantages offered. A possible transformation process is set into the context of the product-process matrix.

Sustainability with a Cost Perspective – Driving the Industry to Embrace Sustainable Thinking
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Journal of Environmental Accounting and Management. - : L and H Scientific Publishing, LLC. - 2325-6192 .- 2325-6206. ; 10:1, s. 49-72
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research has shown that sustainable improvements need incentives to carry them through. An assumption is that it may be easier to incorporatesustainable thinking in an organization if the organization understandswhich actions it is that are having a positive effect on sustainability andon tangible costs. This paper aims to highlight the synergy effects thatoccur in the intersection between production costs, performance and sustainableimprovements and to present a possible way of modelling theseeffects. The study has used three methods of analysis: literature review, aweb survey sent to representatives in the Swedish manufacturing industry,and economic simulations using a case study. The literature review and thesurvey are used to identify important costs and incentives for sustainableimprovements. The study is limited to the production shop floor level, incorporatingonly aspects directly affecting, and affected by manufacturingoperations.This paper takes a holistic approach to sustainability drivers, cost driversin industry, and economic simulations, creating an overall insight. Fromthe literature review and the survey, intersections between sustainabilitymeasures and cost drivers could be found in the areas of site-occupancyarea/floor space, resource consumption, and efficiency. Apart from lawsand regulations, economic aspects and management attention are perceivedas the most important drivers, but also obstacles for sustainability improvements.The study aims to support industry to embrace sustainable thinking,presenting a quantitative method to visualize the synergy effects of sustainabilityand measurable improvements from production development,using performance measurements when estimating manufacturing costs.The possibility to connect manufacturing cost with environmental impact,through use of performance parameters is demonstrated in a case study;where the significant environmental and economic impact of rejections isanalyzed for the machining of steel frames

Ingår i: Procedia CIRP. - : Elsevier. ; 81, s. 482-487
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Emergent technologies and additive manufacturing have a significant role in shaping the future of manufacturing, enabling companies to produce complex products and parts in a more efficient and sustainable way. However, companies are struggling to identify and achieve the full potential of the technology from a sustainability perspective. The purpose of this paper is to develop a checklist to assess the sustainability performance of additive manufacturing adoption and exploitation, based on secondary data from the academic literature, technical reports, and company cases. Results rely on the identification of critical sustainability aspects for additive manufacturing and key performance indicators.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Digitalization is changing the business environment and companies face challenges to make progress. A first step to support companies is to verify their digital readiness, capabilities, and developing clear plans for improvement. This paper aims to evaluate the digital readiness of seven companies through the application of a self-check tool, followed by a deeper investigation through a case study, to identify reasons, challenges/barriers and enablers towards digitalization. A workshop was conducted to evaluate the use of a self-check tool and collect other analysis. Results include the readiness level and comparison between companies, actions and practices towards increased digitalization.

Lean vs. Green manufacturing: Similarities and differences
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of 16th International Annual EurOMA Conference, June 14-17, Göteborg.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper compares the Lean and Green manufacturing concepts regarding a number of aspects: focus of the concept, basic principles of the concept, product and/or process focus, methods and tools, employee involvement, and supply chain involvement. The analysis shows that the concepts display similarities at the level of resource productivity, organizational change, and source reduction. However, implementation of the concepts may lead to trade-off situations, which originate from that the two concepts have different generic focus. This duality needs to be managed in manufacturing practice.
