Product development with engineering sharpness

During the year, five student groups have worked intensively in the project course Sirius with sharp assignments for Volvo CE, Vattenfall, BAE Systems Hägglunds, Sandvik and Skogstekniska Klustret. As usual, the results were impressive and commercialization of a couple of the solutions can be expected.

Researchers strengthen companies' innovations in SIKT

Researchers at Computer Aided Design, Luleå University of Technology, will participate in the project SIKT, which aims to strengthen innovation, competitiveness and growth for companies in Västernorrland County.

This year's project in Sirius was a success

Smart forestry machines and improved gearboxes were on the menu when students presented creative solutions to sharp projects in Sirius. Sirius is an appreciated project course given in the fifth year of the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

New model increases companies' quality

Better models to measure key performance indicators and ensure quality in supply chains. That is crucial for companies to improve their performance and reach the quality standards. A new matrix is now presented in a doctoral thesis at Luleå University of Technology.

More knowledge is needed on performance-based business models

On the 7th of September Magnus Karlberg visited Exploration Forum 2016 in Eskilstuna to talk about sustainability by function rather than products. But there is still a lack of knowledge before the market is ready.

Students behind the first driverless hauler

Students at Luleå University of Technology in collaboration with Volvo Construction Equipment has developed adriverless hauler. Besides better working environment it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 100 percent.

Simulations more effective than hardware tests

A newly developed simulation-driven methodology streamlines the product development process for mechanical systems. More concepts can be evaluated and selected earlier in the process. This is presented in a doctoral thesis by Jonas Pavasson at Luleå University of Technology.
