1.	Acerbi, Federica, et al. (författare) Exploiting Information Systems for Circular Manufacturing Transition: A Guiding Tool 2023 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 692 AICT, s. 129-143 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract The diffusion of the circular economy (CE) paradigm in manufacturing companies, also known as Circular Manufacturing (CM), has been triggered by the intensive exploitation of natural resources and the associated negative environmental impacts generated. According to CM, natural resources consumption should be minimized, and their life cycle should be extended or reintegrated into new life cycles after usage. In this context, the digital transformation of manufacturing companies, exploiting both Industry 4.0 technologies and information systems (IS), may support them not only in their process management but also in embracing CM strategies. To take this digital and circular transformative path, the synergic exploitation of IS for CE adoption is essential. The extant literature presents scattered knowledge about the potential to exploit data collected from IS to implement CM strategies. Therefore, the research objective is to support companies in using IS to implement CM strategies, by integrating into a unique CM-IS framework. First, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify the direct correlation between specific IS and CM strategies, and also the related parameters influencing a good synergy among them. Subsequently, a maturity model has been developed to provide a practical framework to assess the current state of a manufacturing company in adopting IS for CM strategies implementation. The maturity model has also been integrated with a SWOT analysis module to define a roadmap to improve the current state of the company assessed. Last, the maturity model has been applied to an industrial use case showing the benefits from IS exploitation for CM purposes.

(författare) Automating Loading and Unloading for Autonomous Transport: Identifying Challenges and Requirements with a Systems Approach 2023 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; Part III, s. 332-345 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract The logistics industry has undergone significant changes due to high demand, competition, cost pressures, interruptions, and labor market limitations affecting supply chains. As a result, there has been a significant adoption of automation in internal logistics such as warehousing, stock control, and material handling, leading to increased organizational competitiveness by reducing manual labor costs and time spent on these operations. The use of autonomous road transport holds potential to improve transport performance within areas of safety, sustainability, and efficiency. However, for autonomous transport to be fully ealized, loading and unloading processes at shipping and receiving facilities must also be automated. This paper takes a systems approach to identify the challenges and requirements for automated loading and unloading in a setting of autonomous truck transport potentially within a production setting. By addressing these challenges and meeting the necessary requirements, it may be possible to fully realize the benefits of autonomous transport and improve overall transport performance.
3.	Agrawal, Tarun Kumar, 1989-, et al. (författare) Understanding Supply Chain Visibility Through Experts’ Perspective: A Delphi Based Approach 2021 Ingår i: Advances in Production Management Systems. Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable and Resilient Production Systems. - Cham : Springer Nature. ; 633 IFIP, s. 189-196 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract Visibility in production logistics and across the supply chain has become a key concern for organizations. Its need has been further emphasized due to the current COVID 19 crisis. Organizations find it challenging to prepare the internal logistics and supply chain, and quickly respond to such unexpected events, due to low visibility. Against this backdrop, the paper, which is a work-in-progress, systematically documents different factors influencing supply chain visibility and crucial information that should be collected and shared among supply chain partners for better visibility. A Delphi analysis is being conducted with twenty-six supply chain experts from various globally recognized enterprises with manufacturing units located worldwide. The study starts with a short open-ended questioner to collect a comprehensive list of antecedents, drivers, barriers, effects, and visibility information based on the qualitative response from the experts. The preliminary results from the first round of the Delphi analysis indicate that risk management, environmental sustainability, and supply chain control are some of the key drivers. Lack of IT infrastructure and maturity are some of the barriers, integrated systems, and technology maturity are among the key antecedents and gaining planning capability and better customer service are some of the positive effects of supply chain visibility as per the experts’ opinion. In addition, information related to planning, supplier location, and deviation are among the crucial ones that require the collection and sharing for better supply chain visibility. This research study is among the few that empirically explores factors influencing supply chain visibility and generates new insights as to why the barriers can be difficult to overcome in complex supply chain settings.
4.	Andersson, Joakim, 1964, et al. (författare) Spare Parts Demand Prediction by Using a Random Forest Approach 2023 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 691 AICT, s. 793-804 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract Spare parts forecasting, in general, is a complex task, due to its intermittent and erratic demand patterns. Furthermore, the underlying reason for the demand is usually not considered since most forecasting methods are based on demand history, merely. Spare parts demand is dependent on the need for replacement of components due to repair or maintenance reasons, which varies due to, e.g., life cycle, utilization of the finished product, and the number of finished products. Although machine learning methods have been more prevalent for spare parts forecasting in recent years, the prediction of initial demand, i.e., what to be stocked before the breakdowns and maintenance needs occur is understudied. So, the purpose of this paper is to investigate if the spare part need can be predicted before the demand occurs and, by that, increase the availability to the customers and decrease the cost of unavailability, e.g., expediting costs and lost sales. By adopting a machine learning model based on decision trees, called Random Forest, we predicted the probability of initial sales based on the installed base, and categorical variables such as product group, vital code, function, and weight, for spare parts at an automotive company. The analysis was made for three different markets in the Asia-pacific region and predictions were made for three different time horizons, 1, 3, and 6 months and the model performance shows potentially good results with an accuracy of around 70%. We also analyzed the business impact concerning availability and supply chain-related costs where, for example, we obtained a substantially lower total supply chain cost.

We do this by outlining the critical role of education and the need for renewal and increased access to higher education within maintenance, followed by reviewing the literature on maintenance engineering education over the past two decades (2000–2020). In our systematic literature review, we identify nine key themes that have occupied maintenance researchers in their educational efforts, e.g. design and development of curricula, programs, and courses; identification of competence requirements and learning characteristics; and new educational formats such as gamification and innovative laboratory sessions using novel digital technologies. Following our review, we propose research- and policy-oriented recommendations for the future of maintenance engineering education.

(författare) From Surviving to Thriving : Industry 5.0 at SMEs Enhancing Production Flexibility 2023 Ingår i: Advances in Production Management Systems. - : Springer Nature. ; 689 AICT, s. 789-802 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract This study explores how human-centered digitalization can contribute to the flexibility and adaptability of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) production processes, resulting in more resilient systems. This study explains the relationship between digital technologies and production system features through progressively more human-centric stages of a digitalized manufacturing system. The authors present a case study of an SME that implemented a human-centric strategy, placing people's needs and interests at the center of its processes, leading to more flexible and inclusive production processes and consistent with the goals of Industry 5.0. The results suggest that a digitalized working method that considers human capabilities and needs can enable a more diverse workforce and the rapid setup of new and additional production processes, thus helping SMEs respond to supply chain disruptions. The findings have implications for managers and practitioners interested in driving or supporting the transition of SMEs to human-centric, resilient, and sustainable businesses.

Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable and Resilient Production Systems. - Cham : Springer. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. - 9783030859091 - 9783030859121 - 9783030859107 ; , s. 523-533 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract As the need for more responsible production and consumption grows quickly, so does the interest in the concepts of eco-efficiency and circularity. To make swift progress towards sustainability, solutions must be developed and deployed at scale. It is therefore critical to understand the challenges faced by industry to accelerate the uptake of best practices for circular and efficient production systems. This paper presents the emerging issues from three industrial pilots in an on-going collaborative project. We discuss and suggest further work around crucial questions such as: How to deploy circular solutions from lab to industrial scale? How can digitalization support efficient circular processes?.

(författare) Battery Production Systems: State of the Art and Future Developments 2023 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 692, s. 521-535 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract This paper discusses the state of the art in battery production research, focusing on high-importance topics to address industrial needs and sustainability goals in this rapidly growing field. We first present current research around three themes: human-centred production, smart production management, and sustainable manufacturing value chains. For each theme, key subtopics are explored to potentially transform battery value chains and shift to more sustainable production models. Such systemic transformations are supported by technological advances to enable superior manufacturing performance through: skills and competence development, improved production ergonomics and human factors, automation and human-robot collaboration, smart production planning and control, smart maintenance, data-driven solutions for production quality and its impact on battery performance (operational efficiency and durability), circular battery systems supported by service-based business models, more integrated and digitalized value chains, and increased industrial resilience. Each subtopic is discussed to suggest directions for further research to realise the full potential of digitalization for sustainable battery production.

(författare) Challenges in Data Life Cycle Management for Sustainable Cyber-Physical Production Systems 2020 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 592, s. 57-65 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract Rapid technological advances present new opportunities to use industrial Big Data to monitor and improve performance more systematically and more holistically. The on-going fourth industrial revolution, aka Industrie 4.0, holds the promise to support the implementation of sustainability principles in manufacturing. However, much of these opportunities are missed as social and environmental performance are still largely considered as an afterthought or add-on to business as usual. This paper reviews existing data life cycle models and discusses their usefulness for sustainable manufacturing performance management. Finally, we suggest possible directions for further research to promote more sustainable cyber-physical production systems.

(författare) Developing Data Models for Smart Environmental Performance Management in Production 2023 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 692, s. 3-15 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract For manufacturing companies to prosper in the long term, they must demonstrate contribution to sustainable development by implementing greener practices using approaches such eco-efficiency and circular economy; i.e., creating social and economic value while minimising the environmental impact of production through efficient, closed-loop circulation of resources. In addition, industrial digitalization presents new opportunities to unlock new ways to measure complex systems’ performance and systematically improve towards circular economy and sustainability. This paper presents the results of a feasibility study aiming to develop a practical toolkit to implement environmental sustainability concepts at factory level. To achieve the project objective, we focused on data handling practices for environmental performance management, including process mapping, data inventory, data quality assessment, and gap analysis to identify existing strengths and define areas of improvement to boost the environmental performance of production systems.
11.	Despeisse, Mélanie, 1985, et al. (författare) Thematic Research Framework for Eco-Efficient and Circular Industrial Systems 2022 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - Cham : Springer Nature Switzerland. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 664, s. 379-389 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract Global sustainability challenges are increasingly constraining and driving industrial development. Eco-efficiency and circular economy are powerful concepts providing guiding principles to achieve superior environmental performance. However, they are not systematically integrated into the design, planning, development, management and improvement of industrial systems, potentially resulting in increased environmental impacts and other unintended consequences. This paper presents a thematic research framework based on workshops with manufacturers and researchers in the field of production engineering and management. The framework aims to establish a stronger foundation to advance research and technological development for eco-efficient and circular industrial systems, embracing environmental sustainability as core operating principles.
12.	Fager, Patrik, 1988, et al. (författare) Gripper types and components in robotic bin picking 2020 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 591, s. 267-274 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract While automation is increasingly applied in production processes, it is still rarely used for the core picking activity in kitting and order picking. As picking activities often involves a large number of stock-keeping units (SKUs) with different characteristics, what gripper to use is a central aspect when robotics is applied. The aim of this paper is to improve the understanding of the relationship between gripper types and component characteristics in robotic applications for preparation of component kits. The aim is addressed by means of an experiment in a laboratory setting where a two-finger gripper and a vacuum-gripper are applied for grasping a variety of components in a kit preparation process. The two gripper types are studied with respect to important component characteristics for their suitability, and how the two gripper types compare from an efficiency standpoint. The paper’s findings are useful for practitioners when introducing robotic bin picking. The paper also makes an important contribution to academia in studying the effects of robot picking applications empirically, laying grounds for focused future studies within this area.

Interoperability of production processes re-quires a stepwise planning of resources. An approach supporting the orchestration and coordination of human and artificial agents (i.e. collaborative robots) is de-veloped. First tasks are assigned to production resources/agents, followed by an interaction and task execution design. Another step taken into account is the tech-nology used as a human-robot interface.

(författare) Finding and Capturing Value in e-Waste for Refrigerators Manufacturers and Recyclers 2020 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 591 IFIP, s. 505-512 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract In today’s highly competitive world, companies need to rethink how they create and capture value at all stages of their offering’s lifecycle. A major challenge is to integrate sustainability as a core source of value creation in their business model rather than as an add-on. E-Waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally, and its value is still largely uncaptured. Urban communities generate high environmental and health impacts due to the e-waste produced by households. This paper aims to evaluate the value retained in refrigerators’ components at their end-of-life. This research work presents findings on how recyclers identify, categorise, and capture value from e-waste. Although we focus on refrigerators recyclers, the results could motivate refrigerators manufacturers to collaborate with recyclers for a more circular economy.

New business models, like digital servitization, can support the transition from pilots to full implementations on the shop floor and the innovation of the end-to-end value chains. This paper aims to identify the requirements for industrial companies to undergo the transition towards digital servitization, where sustainability is at the core. The proposition is that Sustainability-as-a-Service can enable industrial companies, like manufacturers, to deliver sustainability values through digital servitization. This study presents a framework that contributes to the body of knowledge of the digitalization and servitization domains by describing the phenomenon of digital servitization and narrating its relationship to the sustainability domain. The research method of this work includes a review of relevant literature, and the analysis of four use cases, where challenges from real companies were identified and transformed into requirements. The results are summarized in a list of requirements for companies to follow towards a digital servitization business model, which includes technological enablers, organizational skills, knowledge of influential external factors, understanding of sustainability principles, and the contextual situation of the value chain. This study can guide industrial companies to advance towards Sustainability-as-a-Service by providing them with concrete measures on how to prepare for this journey.

(författare) Opportunities and Challenges of Applying Internet of Things for Improving Supply Chain Visibility of Incoming Goods : Results from a Pilot Study 2023 Ingår i: Advances in Production Management Systems. Production Management Systems for Responsible Manufacturing, Service, and Logistics Futures - IFIP WG 5.7 International Conference, APMS 2023, Proceedings. - : Springer Nature. ; 692 AICT, s. 305-318 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract Supply chain visibility has become a key priority for manufacturing companies to handle disruptions and improve supply chain performance. IoT technologies have been recognised to enable higher levels of real-time supply chain visibility. However, there is a need for empirical research focusing on testing IoT technologies to improve supply chain visibility of incoming goods from suppliers. This study presents the findings from a pilot study conducted at a global manufacturer of transport solutions testing IoT technologies in real operations to improve supply chain visibility of incoming goods in their inbound logistics flow. In particular, the opportunities and challenges of applying IoT technologies to increase supply chain visibility in real operations are identified. The study provides guidance for manufacturing companies aiming to improve supply chain visibility and performance in their inbound flow and potentially other areas of their supply chain using IoT technologies.

Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable and Resilient Production Systems - IFIP WG 5.7 International Conference, APMS 2021, Proceedings. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. - 9783030859015 ; 631 IFIP, s. 115-122, s. 115-122 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract Events such as Covid-19 have revealed the vulnerabilities that companies face due to low visibility. Consequently, companies experience impact on their supply chains in terms of disruptions of material supply, deliveries, productivity and revenue. Thus, the importance of Supply Chain Visibility (SCV) in global and competitive markets with increasing sustainability demands has received widespread recognition. Yet, the literature provides limited understanding of requirements to consider when developing a SCV system. Addressing the gap, this study presents the findings from a case study during the first months of 2021 at a global manufacturing company developing a SCV system to improve their inbound flow. Using a system engineering perspective, this study presents requirements highlighted during early stage for a SCV system. The results indicate the importance of ensuring SCV system requirements to enable data collection, handling and usage for decision making leading to both supply chain sustainability and resilience. This study contributes to the understanding of SCV by presenting and categorizing requirements considered for real-time case at a manufacturing company when developing a SCV system.

However, applying ML within actual industrial practice of PdM is a complex and challenging task due to high dimensionality and lack of labeled data. To cope with this challenge, this paper presents a systematic framework based on an unsupervised ML approach by aiming to construct health indicators, which has a crucial impact on making the data meaningful and usable for monitoring machine performance (health) in PdM applications. The results are presented by using real-world industrial data coming from a manufacturing company. In conclusion, the designed health indicators can be used to monitor machine performance over time and further be used in a supervised setting for the purpose of prognostic like remaining useful life estimation in implementing PdM in the industry.

This paper describes the design, application, and evaluation of the Strategic Development Map (SDM) in three settings, whereof two manufacturing SMEs. The SDM was also applied in more than 500 SMEs in a Swedish initiative called the Robot Lift. The SDM was derived from existing literature about Toyota management principles and thereafter adapted to the topic. The process of designing, testing, and evaluating the tool was inspired by design science research. It also contains explanations of the outcomes and mechanisms that lead to the successful adaptation and use of the SDM. The SDM provides a structured guidance process to understand the strategic role of automation technology investments in SMEs. This process can support companies towards a deeper understanding of the current state, target state and obstacles and challenges to reach the target with a focus on automation technology investments. The SDM was emphasized by companies and external coaches as very simple to understand and use. Using the SDM increased involvement and knowledge about strategic role of automation technology.

Romare, Piero, 1995 (författare) User-Driven Privacy Factors in Trigger-Action Apps: A Comparative Analysis with General IoT 2024 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - 1868-4238 .- 1868-422X. ; 695 IFIPAICT, s. 244-264 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract The growing adoption of Trigger-Action Platforms (TAPs) in the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has evolved users’ ability to automate their digital environments. However, this automation also introduces potential threats to users’ privacy. To enhance users’ privacy decisions and develop effective permission management systems, it is crucial to understand users’ comprehension of privacy factors in the IoT. This paper presents a literature review on privacy factors in the general IoT environment and compares them with users’ priorities and preferences for privacy factors specific to TAPs. To this end, we earlier conducted three Focus Groups (FGs) to gather users’ definitions and rankings of privacy factors in the TAPs context. Through the comparison with the general IoT literature, we highlight the similarities and differences in privacy factors between TAPs and traditional IoT applications. The outcomes of this study can inform the designers and developers with an emphasis on privacy-centric IoT TAPs.

Many different methods exist, although only a few of them can detect shifting bottlenecks. The active period method is based on the longest uninterrupted active time of a process, but the analytical algorithm is difficult to program requiring different self-iterating loops. Hence a simpler matrix-based algorithm was developed. This paper presents an improvement over the original algorithm with respect to accuracy.

Within this paper, the results of current operators’work and chal-lenges,based on six casestudies, are combined with an outlook of the future of work of operators, based onthe Operator 4.0vision. The challenges categorized in this paper can be used to identify opportunitiesfor improvementin the opera-tors’cognitive support in present factories as well as for researchers and devel-opers of Operator 3.0 supportsolutions.

(författare) Systematic Green Design in Production Equipment Investments : Conceptual Development and Outlook 2023 Ingår i: Advances in Production Management Systems. Production Management Systems for Responsible Manufacturing, Service, and Logistics Futures - IFIP WG 5.7 International Conference, APMS 2023, Proceedings. - : Springer Nature. - 9783031436871 - 9783031436888 ; 692 AICT, s. 174-188 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract This paper explores the concept of green design in the context of production, focusing on investment projects for production equipment design and acquisition by a manufacturing firm. Research towards making manufacturing and production related activities more sustainable is increasing. In the manufacturing sector, environmental sustainability tends to be more commonly approached from the operations perspective. However, the decisions taken in the design phase of the production equipment significantly impact the operations phase. Therefore, proactive design approaches for sustainability applied in product design settings could be transferred to the design of the production equipment to build in green aspects from the outset. This study explores the research questions of what green production equipment design entails and how the concept of green design has evolved in the context of production. Overall, this conceptual paper highlights the importance of incorporating green design principles from the outset of the production design. Transferable methodological issues are also explored for further detailed investigation in the production equipment design context. Strong collaboration between equipment suppliers and the buying manufacturer that aims to integrate sustainability as part of requirements is proposed as an enabler for the way forward. The paper also provides insights into the evolution of the concept in this context for possible future research.

(författare) Co-creating a Digital Symptom Tracker : An App as a Boundary Object in the Context of Pediatric Care 2022 Ingår i: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. - Cham : Springer Science+Business Media B.V.. - 1868-4238. ; 660 IFIP, s. 79-93 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The rise of digital health has provided new opportunities for patients to be more actively involved in their health and wellbeing. Despite the increased use of mobile health apps, there is still a lack of research on patient self-monitoring, and few studies have focused on children with chronic diseases and their parents. In this study, we draw from a case of the design of a mobile application – a symptom tracker – to continuously monitor children with periodic fever and the theoretical concept of boundary objects, to understand the role of digital artifacts in current healthcare practice. The research approach is qualitative, building on interview data with parents and experiences from the co-design process involving researchers, physicians, and other key stakeholders. The aim of the paper is to contribute with a better understanding of how an app for tracking children’s fever (a symptom tracker) can support the pediatricians as well as the parents and their children during the treatment process. The research question is: In what ways can a symptom tracker increase stakeholder involvement and how may this affect their relationship boundaries and collaborations? Our findings suggest that the symptom tracker can be seen as a boundary object that binds the children, parents, and pediatricians treating them by connecting the app to the context of both the patients and healthcare practice. We argue that such an object (symptom tracker) can function as external support and, thereby, an essential part of the treatment process.
