  1. 16. Design Optimization in Industrial Robotics : Methods and Algorithms for Drive Train Design

    Author : Marcus Pettersson; Johan Ölvander (Andersson); Torgny Brogårdh; Jorge Angeles; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robot manufacturers; industrial robot; robot design; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : Robot manufacturers, like many other manufacturers, are experiencing increasing competition in a global market where one way to confront the challenge is by making the development process more efficient. One way to speed up the time to market for new products is to take advantage of design optimization based on simulation models. READ MORE

  2. 17. Platform-Based Design - Design Rationale Aspects within the Configurable Component Concept

    Author : Stellan Gedell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design rationale; derivate designs; configurable components; set-based design; product model; re-use; platform-based design; function-means tree;

    Abstract : Competition, emanating from globalization and the continuing evolution in supplier chains, especially within the automotive industry, creates pressure on every phase of a design´s lifecycle to be more efficient. Requirements, which at least are perceived as conflicting, on one hand a low product price achieved by high volumes and economy of scale, and on the other hand the customers´ whish of individualized products, push for new approaches.

  3. 18. Capturing Value in Conceptual PSS Design : Perspectives from the Automotive Supply Chain

    Author : Massimo Panarotto; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Design; Product Development; Conceptual Design Phases; Product-Service Systems; Business Model Innovation; Simulation Driven Design; Value Assessment;

    Abstract : Manufacturing companies have traditionally focused their design and development activities on realizing technical and engineered aspects of physical artifacts based on performance requirements. The ever-changing business climate, with its increased pace during the past decades, has forced industries to continuously innovate their approach toward the development of new products. READ MORE

  4. 19. Supporting Production System Design Decisions through Discrete Event Simulation

    Author : Erik Flores-García; Magnus Wiktorsson; Björn Johansson; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : Manufacturing companies are increasingly required to deal with and introduce significant changes in their production systems to gain a competitive advantage. The production system design process is widely considered a means of introducing such changes, and decisions made during design are viewed as critical to its characterization and performance.
