Important results from the project
The purpose of C-PALS was to establish a collaboration between Swedish and South Korean academia and industry regarding smart assembly and production logistics. The goal was to develop solutions for production planning, quality control and transport planning for two application environments, one at Scania, and one for Yura´s factories worldwide. The project has been widely spread academically and industrially and was named an EUREKA SMART success case, and was on IVA´s 2021 list of the 51 most important research projects in Sweden that year.
Expected long term effects
The project has developed basic platforms, techniques and systems, as well as demonstrated in factory environments how technology to collect, transfer and store real-time data, linked to algorithms, models and advanced analysis, enables increased quality, reduced resources and more responsive assembly and production logistics. The project has led to direct effects through products and services at the industrial partners. The academic parties have clearly established themselves in the area and a strong collaboration between South Korea and Sweden is now established.
Approach and implementation
The project has been run through four work packages, two on enabling technologies and systems, and two on application areas: (1) Integrated platform and Cloud services and Manufacturing big data management system, (2) Digital Twin and Advanced Analytics in Cyber Physical Assembly and Logistics System, (3) Shop Floor Application for Smart Assembly, with systems for quality control and production control in semi-automatic and manual assembly. (4) Shop Floor Applications for Smart Production Logistics, with solutions for real time based and dynamic forklift and AGV control.
