More about the project

The major goal of this pre-study is to identify and prepare the required information, knowledge, tools, modules, technologies and Indian partners for a project within smart manufacturing in the spirit of the collaboration between Sweden and India. We aim to develop a conceptual model describing a smart, sustainable, integrated production-maintenance system (Smart-Pro) for effective production planning, scheduling, follow up and decision making, for e.g. flexible and just-in-time production.

To support the Smart-Pro system, the project will also describe a plug-and-play solution for automatic detection-localizing of damages, severity estimation, prediction of damage development, recommendation of what, where and when to act cost-effectively to maintain production process quality. A consortium from the Swedish academia and industry (with a couple of their Indian factories) will be put together.
