SUMMIT - SUstainability, sMart Maintenance and factory desIgn Testbed

Reference number
Coordinator Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB - Chalmers tekniska högskola AB, Göteborg
Funding from Vinnova SEK 8 000 000
Project duration November 2017 - April 2021
Status Completed
Venture The strategic innovation programme for Production2030

Important results from the project

The purpose and goals of the SUMMIT project are met and exceeded, benefit the industry in the form of higher OEE (Preventive maintenance and more efficient design of factories), lower emissions (Less travel needs for factory design, and lower emissions from factories due to better design and maintenance) and better work environment (more inclusive design of factories) can already be seen in the demonstrators made in industrial environments.

Expected long term effects

SUMMIT testbed has already generated effects in industrial environments, and more are expected. Mid-term effect expected are more Socially sustainable and attractive work-places, OEE above 85%, higher operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact, prescriptive maintenance solutions developed and used in industry. Long-term effect expected are more resource efficient production systems applying eco-efficiency and circularity principles with zero-impact or net-positive effects on the environment and zero-failure production systems and OEE above 90%.

Approach and implementation

SUMMIT had 21 partners active through the project and several demonstrators developments was carried out in parallel where large meetings were arranged about once every six months to keep the entire group together. Most demonstrators in the test bed were carried out with 3-4 partners active per task as main actors where both universities / institutes, manufacturing companies and consultants collaborated to ensure good results and high industrial benefits.
