Innovation and Product Realisation, IPR, is one of six
research and education areas at Mälardalen University.
IPR takes a multidisciplinary approach towards industry’s development and innovation processes for product
Realisation. The goal is to provide support to industry to
realize more ideas, and to improve the development of
new products and systems. In MDH’s research strategy
for 2013-2016, IPR is prioritised as one of three “development environment” for MDH with a research of national
relevance and international recognition.
The research area Innovation and Product Realisation
builds bridges between disciplines as manufacturing engineering, innovation management, information design,
product development and industrial design. The idea
is that the different disciplines and work practices can
merge to create better products, processes and services,
fulfilling requirements from stakeholders concerning
efficiency, flexibility, openness, robustness, communication skills and changes in mind-sets.
The research is conducted in close cooperation with
industry and organisations, and is of high relevance to
the academy as well as to the surrounding society. Our
research base is to a large degree externally funded from
funding agencies and research councils. We cooperate
with other universities, institutes and companies in other
parts of Sweden but also in the UK, Italy, US and India.
We offer education on advanced level in English and
have some 30 PhD students in our post graduate education within Innovation and Design, combining personal
development with academic stringency. We also take
pride in designing a stimulating physical milieu with
labs and studios.

We use design and interpretation processes to investigate and challenge thoughts and principles for production and organisation systems, aiming at optimal
problem solving. The area includes research about idea,
concept and product development with reference to
processes in design and design processes. Today´s design
research aims at development of products, processes,
services; and of milieus, interfaces and other informative interpretation supporting creativity and innovation.

Innovation Management is about to lead and organize
processes for improvement and new development
of products, services, and production systems. The research focuses on innovation in collaboration and deals
with: strategy, leadership, business intelligence, design,
creativity, learning, and culture.
IPR’s innovation management research considers
innovation to be continuous non-linear development
in circular processes of interaction between different
actors. We use a complex system perspective where
innovation management is more about influence and to
give prerequisites for emergence of innovation, and less
about plan and control of a linear process. Participation,
communication, innovation maturity, dualities and
emergence are some central concepts in the research
where we focus on the patterns behind realisation of
innovations.

Product Realisation is the work that an organisation
goes through to develop, manufacture, and deliver
goods or services. Product realisation includes customer
related processes, design and development, purchasing, production and service provision, and control of
monitoring and measuring processes. Research on
product realisation concerns the design, operations and
improvement of these product realisation processes.
By examples and guidelines we provide management
support to manage crucial processes and aspects of
product realisation. We show success factors, system
requirements, enabling system and business solutions,
management systems, and performance measures
required for sustainable product realisation.

DeEP - Design in European Policies
Partners: ABB AB, Ericsson AB
Leader: Erik Bjurström
Funding: The Knowledge Foundation (KKS)
Research Group: Innovation Management
Overview: The overall vision of the proposed research
project recognizes that globalisation is here to stay. For
Swedish organisations it implies to remain competitive in
the long-run and at the same time find new ways to effectively distribute research, development and engineering
work across organisational and geographical boundaries.
The objective of the research project is to develop firmspecific theories of RD&E offshoring and outsourcing in
Swedish organisations that enable more effective translation of organisational strategies into actual practice. Our
goal with the research is to address the understanding of
the complexity associated with outsourcing and offshoring
through the behavioral, dynamic, and technical lenses.
This will allow us to develop firm-specific theories of outsourcing and offshoring. Most research is still carried out
separated from operational realities. A key contribution
of the research is the development of an engagement
strategy that would support greater industry and academia
knowledge of co-creation.

Funding: VINNOVA, The Swedish Governmental Agency
for Innovation Systems
Overview: This project is a part of the Strategic Innovation Area (SIA) Production. The purpose of this project
is to enhance innovation through both cross-divisional
collaboration and virtual analysis. The goal is to establish
a factory for producing knowledge - an Engineering Innovation Factory (EIFactory) where industry and academy
can create and collaborate, supported by modeling, simulation and visualisation during the innovation process.
Managers, developers and operators from industry meet
with customers, as well as researchers from the areas of
XPRES: production of new materials, sustainable product
life cycles and adaptive production. Master students contribute to the discussion with new, unexpected ideas and
learn from the industrial partners. It is a meeting point
for people from different perspectives in an environment
which promotes communication and creativity. Visualisation tools are used for explaining and investigating,
modeling of product as well as production properties and
virtual analysis is used for testing and elaborating ideas in
more detail. The approach combines theories and methods concerning innovation with those of digital engineering and visualisation, leaning on a process model which
emphasizes aspects concerning learning, communication

and collaboration. By supporting the development of new
products and production systems, this project will address the main drivers of the Production SIO programme:
sustainable production with a minimal use of resources
and zero waste production, and developing manufacturing systems using sustainable materials. With a focus on
collaboration and virtual analysis in Design and Manufacturing, it addresses two of the SIO areas of strength for
competitiveness in production and manufacturing industry through increased innovation: (3) Virtual Production
and Simulation and (6) Innovative Product Development.
To ensure high scientific quality the EQUIP project is supported by an International scientific advisory board. The
contribution of the scientific advisory board lies mainly
in the area of research design, planning of the empirical
studies and detailed data collection, as well as in the contribution to the data analysis and publication strategy.

Overview: AAmong a wide range of industries it is
increasingly acknowledged that superior production
equipment capabilities are crucial for competitive success.
However, the process of designing the production equipment has received surprisingly limited attention, ignoring
its extensive potential for gaining a competitive edge. The
EQUIP project focuses on an integrated user-supplier approach when designing production equipment, implying
preconditions for creating more sustainable production
equipment than today contributing to the overall requirements of achieving sustainable and competitive production systems.
The support from literature for integrating equipment
suppliers in the early phases, i.e. in specification of requirements and in the concept generation and evaluation is
limited, hence the project intends to address this knowledge gap by developing understanding and new knowledge
in the area. The expected main deliverable is an integrated
production equipment design methodology to be used by
users and equipment suppliers in order to increase creativity and innovation resulting in new solutions for sustainable and competitive production equipment.

Overview: Attraction of customers to electric propulsion
systems demands clear advantages and well formulated
and proven arguments. Airport logistics is an area were
both state and privately owved airports are looking for
potential environmental improvements through new
technology. This project aims to develop a prototype
towbarless tractor that uses a mix of X % diesel and Y %
electricity during a work day moving the largest aircrafts
and demonstrate this in real-life load cycles. The project
will conduct research in innovation and product development methodologies with a production bias. The electrohybrid componets developed by the project will also find
potential use in other workmachines and heavy on-road
vehicles.

Overview: IDEA Rational: Global competition leads to
a considerable shift in the distribution of the world economic power, and the need for innovation as a vital driver
for sustainable growth is now evident. In recent years
companies realise that the interconnection between the
pioneering creativity of designers and engineers complemented by innovative business models has the capacity to set their next competitive advantage. The strong
research-led culture of the academic environment must
be attentive to the needs of industry and markets and
must promote new knowledge synergies. In this context,
the IDEA project (InterDisciplinary Education Agenda, an
essential driver for innovation) finds its roots.

Overview: The Innovation Gym research group focuses
on the innovatory skills of individuals and organisations
and the ability to cooperate in innovation processes in
which several actors cooperate and co-produce. Specifically this means staff involvement innovation, or “workplace innovation” in the early phases of the innovation
process, from the formulation of possibilities/problems to
the design of concepts. The research is inspired by intradisciplinary theories from education and sociology, but
is specifically based on theories concerning innovation
development, creativity, business intelligence, leadership
theory and organisational learning with the purpose of
studying, for example, requirements in the form of skills,
leadership and organisational structure for a distributed
and resource-effective innovation process which leads to
the production of a concept.

Partners: Scania, Swerea IVF, Volvo Cars, KTH Royal
Institute of Technology, Linköping University
Overview: This project is part of the Strategic Innovation
Area “Production”. The aim of this project is study the impact on the production system when products start being
produced, fully or partly, of mixed material parts. Parts
of mixed materials are generally more expensive than
traditional steel parts. To justify the expensive parts, the
products must be designed in a new way. This is a known
fact and it is studied in other projects. However little
is researched on the production system aspects of this
change of materials. A company could choose to buy the
new parts from suppliers or produce them in house.
To outsource is an option but in the long run it may cause
a radical change to the company. A car manufacturer
that used to produce most steel parts in house and then
spot weld them together could end up as an assembly
company with little or none own production. Another
alternative is to rearrange today´s factory into a new factory where the same portion of the product is produced in
house. Within this project the changes to the production
system in the different situations are to be studied. The
studies and evaluations are mainly to be performed in the
virtual factory available at XPRES at KTH. In this virtual
environment several alternatives may be compared to
each other.
The industrial cases that are planned to be studied represent different situations regarding how large portion
of the parts that are replaced by mixed materials. It is
therefore possible to compare how the impact on the
productions system varies in the cases. These comparisons
are planned to be used to help companies with decision
support when planning a change of materials. To help
companies outside the actual project group is however
something that is made possible in the future as a result
from this project.

Start: 2013-03-31
Overview: The process of developing automation is often
time consuming, costly, and difficult to manage. This due
to: insufficient procurements skills; difficulties deciding
on appropriate solution; and unclear, unstructured, and
poorly supported automation development process.
The ideas of this research project is to adopt a lean
perspective to the automation development processes.
The objective is to develop support to the process of
developing automation and hence contribute to sustainable automation solutions, with shorter and less resource
demanding development processes, and higher return of
investments.
There are three work packages in the project:
WP1: Improvement of the process of planning, developing and acquiring automation
WP2: The development of an automation strategy model
supporting automation decisions
WP3: The standardisation and specification of IT-support
The expected result is besides academic publications
an industrial automation handbook including models,
methods, guidelines and tools that support the process
of developing automation.
End: 2013-10-01
Partners: Automation Region, Blue Institute, SICS
Overview: This project is a part of the Strategic Innovation Area “Process Industrial IT and Automation” (PIIA).
It is a feasibility study over Q3 2013 and Q1 2014 mobilizing the PiiAs consortium in a survey with trend analysis
to identify areas of relevance to the automation market
and to industrial competitiveness. These are areas which
then becomes important to process and monitor. Another
task is to determine the roles, responsibilities and work
for a further - thought - project. We will create a map of
focus areas and we shall identify competent teams who
can investigate these areas and then delivering the best
possible challenge and market intelligence to all program
components in the SIO. The project synthesis and the
final product delivery is a “Roadmap” that summarizes
and can point out a direction for how the Swedish process
and automation industry can increase its competitiveness
through automation.
The project should reflect both the users and the suppliers’ needs and values of automation investments. It will
challenge and give a picture of what the future needs
are likely to be. Ultimately, there is a matching problem
between industry and automation vendors that we intend
to illustrate, and that the project should address.

Overview: In Light.Touch.Matters, product designers and
material researchers will collaborate to jointly develop
a fully new generation of smart materials that combine
touch sensitivity with luminosity, based on latest developments in polymeric piezo materials and flexible OLEDs.
Manufactured on plastic substrates, these novel “light
touch materials” will be thin, flexible and formable, allowing seamless integration into products. They promise to
greatly expand design freedom and unlock totally new
modes of product-user interaction, enabling us to take
the next step in product design: using touch sensitivity and luminosity to produce simple, affordable and
intuitive user interfaces so that eventually “the product
becomes the user interface”. Light.Touch.Matters focuses
on products for care and well-being applications that can
help consumers feel better, monitor or improve their
health and increase comfort, such as rehabilitation aids,
wearable alarms, and diet coaches, though we expect
strong spin-off to other sectors. Light.Touch.Matters will
use a proprietary design-driven research methodology
based a comprehensive body of industrial product design
knowledge that has been built up over the past decades. It
consists of iterated cycles of materials-inspired and designdriven materials research with direct and prolonged
design-researcher interaction, leading to a convergence
of the conceptual designs and feasible materials in 4-6
interaction showcases. Analysis of results will include end
user value, commercial value and environmental impact
(LCA/critical materials). The design-driven research on
integrated piezo plastics and OLEDs can directly contribute to innovation and competitiveness in a large number
of related sectors, many of which are strategic to the EU:
not only design, (health)care and consumer goods, but
also the chemical, automotive and printing industries, as
well as mechanical-, electrical-, packaging- and systems
engineering.

Overview: The MEMIMAN project primarily aims to improve industrial waste management in the metalworking
and automotive industry. The idea is to assess how different future scenarios will affect industrial waste management, and then to incorporate this knowledge into the
current waste management practice. This will enable
us to see patterns in waste management and to identify
the limiting factor for each waste type. The project is divided into four work packages: WP1: Future analysis and
scenarios WP2: Current state of industrial waste management WP3: Development of improves waste management
system (WMS) WP4: Environmental assessment planned
results: WP1: Report on waste management scenarios.
WP2: (1) a verified and published method for waste flow
mapping with material efficiency for different material
types and (2) tools for efficient industrial waste management. In addition maps of waste material and information
flows in the participating companies will be delivered to
WP3; the results will then be fed into the method and the
tool. WP3: a guide to changes in incentives, regulations,
and business models towards improved recycling, as well
as a model of obstacles in the residual material flow. This
will be disseminated in a report and fed into the WMSmethod. WP4: a report on the assessed models and routes
in relation to environmental impact using LCA and chemical risk assessment scoring method and chemical legislation for recycling of industrial engineering waste. The reports will be further advanced into scientific publications.
Throughout the project at least one journal publication is
planned for each work package, in addition to conference
papers. Also, one licentiate and one doctoral thesis will
also be presented by members in the project.

Modular Lightweight Robotics
Leader: Giacomo Spampinato
Overview: Music in Motion aims to develop a system,
which can be installed on any artifact of choice and
interacts with people surrounding it, by composing and
playing a unique tailored “melody” (in a broad sense of
the word) for them. It will also recognize when there are
several people interacting with the system and assign
different sounds to each person, this way people can collaborate with each other to create a soundscape together.

Funding: Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF)
Overview: Robotics and automation have played a
strategic role in manufacturing since half of the twentieth
century. Today the competition at the global level is very
tough, and the modern industries are identifying a clear
trend towards more sustainable, flexible and cost efficient
solutions, especially with respect to robotized processes.
According to the European Robotics Technology Platform
(EUROP) strategic research agenda (07/2009), lightweight
robotics in manufacturing has been identified as one of
the key factor to guarantee flexibility and cost savings,
with huge impacts on the energy consumption. ABB,
as one the biggest players in the robotics field, is not
ignoring the new trend, that opens up new markets and
new robot concepts, so the R&D is moving towards new
research directions, and new academic collaborations.
The objective of the project is to identify and validate
new modular and lightweight solutions to structure the
new generations of industrial robots where flexibility and
energy saving are the main requirements against the current solutions. The expected results for the project are
1) Identification of the best strategies and methodologies
to be used in lightweight and modular robotic structures,
2) Validation of the proposed solutions in terms of selected
performance indexes, 3) Design and build one or two
physical prototypes
Overview: PROLOC is a three year research project
funded by VINNOVA within the programme Production
Strategies and Models for Product Realisation. The project
is a joint project between Mälardalen University and Lund
University (LU). It deals with production location and the
manufacturing footprint of globally present manufacturing companies.
A manufacturing strategy for tomorrow’s successful
industry has to consider an entire new set of aspects
influencing the design of the manufacturing footprint.
This research project will create a decision support model
for efficient localisation by integrating aspects from the
production system portfolio, the product portfolio life
cycle and manufacturing performance into a combined
valuation in economic terms.

those who work in it. The project will investigate how a
particular simulation tool can be used to show the consequences of changes. The project will generate knowledge
on work-integrated competence flows by focusing on
the relationships within organisations and to develop a
tool that describes, presents and simulates the impact of
organisational changes. Development of simulation tool
is in collaboration with municipalities. Several computer
programs, including the so-called social network analysis,
where you see who have relations with whom, are used.
The goal is more healthy organisational change.

Carina Söderlund is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering. Her
research concerns Information Design and Condition Based Maintenance, and the monitoring of
machines’ condition in Production, in order to know when to maintain them. Research on condition
based maintenance, monitoring software and its’ user interface mostly concerns technique-, and
method development. There is not enough research on the Visual Design of this kind of interfaces,
or the users’ experience and interpretation of user interface information. Some of the conclusions
are that maintenance personnel seek several types of information and information sources in order
to decide on a maintenance action. The user interface is one of few. Other types of information are
for instance, the operators’ pre experiences, the built space that surrounds the machines, or photos
or drawings of the machines. The information types relates to different contexts outside or within
the industrial setting. Maintenance personnel interact with these types of information, and the
information types influence their interpretation of user interface information.
