Innovation and Product Realisation, IPR, is one of six research and education areas at Mälardalen University. IPR takes a multidisciplinary approach towards industry’s development and innovation processes for product Realisation. The goal is to provide support to industry to realize more ideas, and to improve the development of new products and systems. In MDH’s research strategy for 2013-2016, IPR is prioritised as one of three “development environment” for MDH with a research of national relevance and international recognition. The research area Innovation and Product Realisation builds bridges between disciplines as manufacturing engineering, innovation management, information design, product development and industrial design. The idea is that the different disciplines and work practices can merge to create better products, processes and services, fulfilling requirements from stakeholders concerning efficiency, flexibility, openness, robustness, communication skills and changes in mind-sets.

The research is conducted in close cooperation with industry and organisations, and is of high relevance to the academy as well as to the surrounding society. Our research base is to a large degree externally funded from funding agencies and research councils. We cooperate with other universities, institutes and companies in other parts of Sweden but also in the UK, Italy, US and India. We offer education on advanced level in English and have some 30 PhD students in our post graduate education within Innovation and Design, combining personal development with academic stringency. We also take pride in designing a stimulating physical milieu with labs and studios.

Innovation Management

Leader: Professor Tomas Backström, [email protected], +46 16 153230

Innovation Management is about to lead and organize processes for improvement and new development of products, services, and production systems. The research focuses on innovation in collaboration and deals with: strategy, leadership, business intelligence, design, creativity, learning, and culture. IPR’s innovation management research considers innovation to be continuous non-linear development in circular processes of interaction between different actors. We use a complex system perspective where innovation management is more about influence and to give prerequisites for emergence of innovation, and less

about plan and control of a linear process. Participation, communication, innovation maturity, dualities and emergence are some central concepts in the research where we focus on the patterns behind realisation of innovations.

Product Realisation

Leader: Professor Monica Bellgran [email protected], +46 16 153223

Product Realisation is the work that an organisation goes through to develop, manufacture, and deliver goods or services. Product realisation includes customer related processes, design and development, purchasing, production and service provision, and control of monitoring and measuring processes. Research on product realisation concerns the design, operations and improvement of these product realisation processes. By examples and guidelines we provide management support to manage crucial processes and aspects of product realisation. We show success factors, system requirements, enabling system and business solutions, management systems, and performance measures required for sustainable product realisation.

Partners: ABB AB, Ericsson AB

Leader: Erik Bjurström

Funding: The Knowledge Foundation (KKS)

Research Group: Innovation Management

Overview: The overall vision of the proposed research project recognizes that globalisation is here to stay. For Swedish organisations it implies to remain competitive in the long-run and at the same time find new ways to effectively distribute research, development and engineering work across organisational and geographical boundaries. The objective of the research project is to develop firmspecific theories of RD&E offshoring and outsourcing in Swedish organisations that enable more effective translation of organisational strategies into actual practice. Our goal with the research is to address the understanding of the complexity associated with outsourcing and offshoring through the behavioral, dynamic, and technical lenses. This will allow us to develop firm-specific theories of outsourcing and offshoring. Most research is still carried out separated from operational realities. A key contribution of the research is the development of an engagement strategy that would support greater industry and academia knowledge of co-creation.

However, the process of designing the production equipment has received surprisingly limited attention, ignoring its extensive potential for gaining a competitive edge. The EQUIP project focuses on an integrated user-supplier approach when designing production equipment, implying preconditions for creating more sustainable production equipment than today contributing to the overall requirements of achieving sustainable and competitive production systems. The support from literature for integrating equipment suppliers in the early phases, i.e. in specification of requirements and in the concept generation and evaluation is limited, hence the project intends to address this knowledge gap by developing understanding and new knowledge in the area. The expected main deliverable is an integrated production equipment design methodology to be used by users and equipment suppliers in order to increase creativity and innovation resulting in new solutions for sustainable and competitive production equipment.

The aim of this project is study the impact on the production system when products start being produced, fully or partly, of mixed material parts. Parts of mixed materials are generally more expensive than traditional steel parts. To justify the expensive parts, the products must be designed in a new way. This is a known fact and it is studied in other projects. However little is researched on the production system aspects of this change of materials. A company could choose to buy the new parts from suppliers or produce them in house. To outsource is an option but in the long run it may cause a radical change to the company. A car manufacturer that used to produce most steel parts in house and then

Innovation and Product Realisation

spot weld them together could end up as an assembly company with little or none own production. Another alternative is to rearrange today´s factory into a new factory where the same portion of the product is produced in house. Within this project the changes to the production system in the different situations are to be studied. The studies and evaluations are mainly to be performed in the virtual factory available at XPRES at KTH. In this virtual environment several alternatives may be compared to each other. The industrial cases that are planned to be studied represent different situations regarding how large portion of the parts that are replaced by mixed materials. It is therefore possible to compare how the impact on the productions system varies in the cases. These comparisons are planned to be used to help companies with decision support when planning a change of materials. To help companies outside the actual project group is however something that is made possible in the future as a result from this project.

Funding: VINNOVA, The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems Overview: The process of developing automation is often time consuming, costly, and difficult to manage. This due to: insufficient procurements skills; difficulties deciding on appropriate solution; and unclear, unstructured, and poorly supported automation development process. The ideas of this research project is to adopt a lean perspective to the automation development processes. The objective is to develop support to the process of developing automation and hence contribute to sustainable automation solutions, with shorter and less resource demanding development processes, and higher return of investments. There are three work packages in the project: WP1: Improvement of the process of planning, developing and acquiring automation WP2: The development of an automation strategy model supporting automation decisions WP3: The standardisation and specification of IT-support The expected result is besides academic publications an industrial automation handbook including models, methods, guidelines and tools that support the process of developing automation.

End: 2013-10-01 Partners: Automation Region, Blue Institute, SICS Funding: VINNOVA, The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems Overview: This project is a part of the Strategic Innovation Area “Process Industrial IT and Automation” (PIIA). It is a feasibility study over Q3 2013 and Q1 2014 mobilizing the PiiAs consortium in a survey with trend analysis to identify areas of relevance to the automation market and to industrial competitiveness. These are areas which then becomes important to process and monitor. Another task is to determine the roles, responsibilities and work for a further - thought - project. We will create a map of focus areas and we shall identify competent teams who can investigate these areas and then delivering the best possible challenge and market intelligence to all program components in the SIO. The project synthesis and the final product delivery is a “Roadmap” that summarizes and can point out a direction for how the Swedish process and automation industry can increase its competitiveness through automation. The project should reflect both the users and the suppliers’ needs and values of automation investments. It will challenge and give a picture of what the future needs are likely to be. Ultimately, there is a matching problem between industry and automation vendors that we intend to illustrate, and that the project should address.

Manufactured on plastic substrates, these novel “light touch materials” will be thin, flexible and formable, allowing seamless integration into products. They promise to greatly expand design freedom and unlock totally new modes of product-user interaction, enabling us to take the next step in product design: using touch sensitivity and luminosity to produce simple, affordable and intuitive user interfaces so that eventually “the product becomes the user interface”. Light.Touch.Matters focuses on products for care and well-being applications that can help consumers feel better, monitor or improve their health and increase comfort, such as rehabilitation aids, wearable alarms, and diet coaches, though we expect strong spin-off to other sectors. Light.Touch.Matters will use a proprietary design-driven research methodology based a comprehensive body of industrial product design knowledge that has been built up over the past decades. It consists of iterated cycles of materials-inspired and designdriven materials research with direct and prolonged design-researcher interaction, leading to a convergence of the conceptual designs and feasible materials in 4-6 interaction showcases. Analysis of results will include end user value, commercial value and environmental impact (LCA/critical materials). The design-driven research on integrated piezo plastics and OLEDs can directly contribute to innovation and competitiveness in a large number of related sectors, many of which are strategic to the EU: not only design, (health)care and consumer goods, but also the chemical, automotive and printing industries, as well as mechanical-, electrical-, packaging- and systems engineering.

Funding: MISTRA, The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research Overview: The MEMIMAN project primarily aims to improve industrial waste management in the metalworking and automotive industry. The idea is to assess how different future scenarios will affect industrial waste management, and then to incorporate this knowledge into the current waste management practice. This will enable us to see patterns in waste management and to identify the limiting factor for each waste type. The project is divided into four work packages: WP1: Future analysis and scenarios WP2: Current state of industrial waste management WP3: Development of improves waste management system (WMS) WP4: Environmental assessment planned results: WP1: Report on waste management scenarios. WP2: (1) a verified and published method for waste flow mapping with material efficiency for different material types and (2) tools for efficient industrial waste management. In addition maps of waste material and information flows in the participating companies will be delivered to WP3; the results will then be fed into the method and the tool. WP3: a guide to changes in incentives, regulations, and business models towards improved recycling, as well as a model of obstacles in the residual material flow. This will be disseminated in a report and fed into the WMSmethod. WP4: a report on the assessed models and routes in relation to environmental impact using LCA and chemical risk assessment scoring method and chemical legislation for recycling of industrial engineering waste. The reports will be further advanced into scientific publications. Throughout the project at least one journal publication is planned for each work package, in addition to conference papers. Also, one licentiate and one doctoral thesis will also be presented by members in the project.

Funding: Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) Overview: Robotics and automation have played a strategic role in manufacturing since half of the twentieth century. Today the competition at the global level is very tough, and the modern industries are identifying a clear trend towards more sustainable, flexible and cost efficient solutions, especially with respect to robotized processes. According to the European Robotics Technology Platform (EUROP) strategic research agenda (07/2009), lightweight robotics in manufacturing has been identified as one of the key factor to guarantee flexibility and cost savings, with huge impacts on the energy consumption.

Swenberg, Thorbjörn, Doctoral student Carina Söderlund is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering. Her research concerns Information Design and Condition Based Maintenance, and the monitoring of machines’ condition in Production, in order to know when to maintain them. Research on condition based maintenance, monitoring software and its’ user interface mostly concerns technique-, and method development. There is not enough research on the Visual Design of this kind of interfaces, or the users’ experience and interpretation of user interface information. Some of the conclusions are that maintenance personnel seek several types of information and information sources in order to decide on a maintenance action. The user interface is one of few. Other types of information are for instance, the operators’ pre experiences, the built space that surrounds the machines, or photos or drawings of the machines. The information types relates to different contexts outside or within the industrial setting. Maintenance personnel interact with these types of information, and the information types influence their interpretation of user interface information.
