Sustainable production
Sustainable production
The political focus on environmental responsibility in production has been increasing in recent years. In addition, critical materials are being depleted worldwide. Therefore, it is essential to conduct research within new flexible and sustainable solutions for production that are economically viable, improved the work environment, meet future legislation, and maintain our current materials
in circulation.
Research areas
- Smart production using drones, robots, exoskeletons etc.
- Sustainable processes, materials, and construction to reduce the systemic footprint of production and the supply chain.
- Reducing resource consumption by developing and exploiting potentials from smart production (e.g. IoT, big data, AI, and robots).
- Reconfigurable production systems with modular units and the use of AI and big data developed in the context of human practice to ensure sustainable transformation.
Did you know...
… that according to the EU, it takes 25 years – a generation – to transform an industrial sector and all the value chains.
Collaboration with companies on impact
The film presents the sustainable focus area of Sustainable production, which works to promote a green transition through research and development of solutions for circular production. The film describes current research and the collaboration with the company Grundfos to organize a sustainable flow for recycling plastics.
