From factory layouts and energy efficiency to ergonomics and decision support, VF-KDO has explored how simulation and optimisation can help manufacturers make better-informed choices. Scania has been one of the industrial partners involved in the research. “Long before we started VF-KDO, we had already observed that industrial companies are highly interested in extracting knowledge, from their data to support better decision-making.” For Amos Ng, Professor of Automation Engin

How can humans and robots work together safely and efficiently in tomorrow’s factories? Through VF-KDO, the University of Skövde and Volvo Group have used virtual simulation and multi-objective optimisation to explore the possibilities. “Long before we started VF-KDO, we had already observed that industrial companies are highly interested in extracting knowledge, from their data to support better decision-making.” For Amos Ng, Professor of Automation Engineering at the Univer

Virtual factories can help industry test and optimise solutions before implementing them in the real world. At Skandia Elevator, research within VF-KDO has brought together production, ergonomics and automation to support better decisions. Jerry Olsson, Quality and Production Engineering Manager at Skandia Elevator. “Long before we started VF-KDO, we had already observed that industrial companies are highly interested in extracting knowledge, from their data to support better
