”There is a huge force in
the process industries.”
Magdalena Andersson,
Västerbotten County Governor
Chair of ProcessIT Innovations
Survival issues and
future challenges
Energy, sustainability and new skills are important survival issues for the
process industry. The challenges of the future must be met here and now.
There is a huge force in the process industry, a curiosity to try new
technologies and strive for continuous improvements. It is a force that
ProcessIT Innovations wants to be
involved with, support and develop. ProcessIT Innovations has an
important role as an agent of change
that can help small and mediumsized enterprises to think in new
ways - different ways - and become
smarter in their production lines.
Energy and sustainability
We must underline the importance
of energy and sustainability in
this work. The UN global climate
agreement from the Paris Summit
in December 2015 was extremely
important with its 17 new climate
targets. Energy and sustainability
are global survival issues, but they
also have an enormous significance
for the north of Sweden. We can
see how the process industry is very
important for introducing climatesmart solutions and for sustainable
growth to become reality.
3
The process industry is part of
Sweden’s backbone; every step taken in the industry to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and think in
climate-smart terms clears the path
toward a more sustainable society.
Survival issue
New skills and talented employees
are also survival issues for the process industry and its suppliers.
Here in the north of Sweden we
can see how ProcessIT Innovations
has taken on an important role to
ensure that not only coastal towns
but inland towns should also have
the opportunity of taking part in
technological developments.
Work with young people is
essential to encourage their interest
in technological issues and their
desire and interest to study mathematics and natural sciences.
More students need to know
what an engineer does and get a
close-up look at the exciting work
being done in various development
departments.
Companies are crying out for
qualified personnel in engineering
and all of us must be willing and
able take on these issues.
Important equality issues
The importance of equality issues
cannot be over-emphasized. We
need to get more women interested
in the forest and timber industries,
mines and other sectors. Gender
equality is a focus area and is a necessity for us to meet the challenges
of the future.
We need to underline the value
of women and men working alongside each other in industry. It is
vital for the industry’s continued
development.
Magdalena Andersson,
Västerbotten County Governor,
Chair of ProcessIT Innovations
2015
Challenges for a
digitalized industry
The digitalization of industry and an international focus were two crucial
questions for ProcessIT Innovations’ work in 2015.
Per Levén and John Lindström, process managers, summarize the year.
2015 was when industrial digitalization came on the agenda to stay. A
number of different conferences took
up the issue and the government
provided VINNOVA with additional funding to promote digitalized
Swedish industry through strategic
national innovation programmes,
of which Process Industrial IT and
Automation, PiiA, is one.
Linking processes
”In 2015 we saw how more and more
actors in the industry are moving
toward linking processes in production and business. In the future it will
be an essential mark of quality for
those who want to be in the front line
and compete,” says John Lindström.
”Yes, there are clear practical
projects to take up. Several steps
have been taken toward virtual
and autonomous mines; one such
example involves ABB, Ericsson and
Boliden, who are starting up 5G in
mines for underground services,”
4
says Per Levén.
”We are also seeing how optical
sensors and instruments are becoming more commonplace in the
mining industry, the pulp and paper
industry and the forestry industry.
Adopticum in Skellefteå is playing
an important role in this field,” says
John Lindström.
Necessary challenges
These examples of the digitalization
of industry are a part of the development process that is absolutely necessary, according to Per Levén and
John Lindström. At the same time,
though, managing the changeover
that digitalization and automation
involves for new business models in
the process industry is also a major
challenge.
”Industrial digitalization is complex and there is still a great deal of
uncertainty about what it will bring
about. But it is obvious that we need
to develop new methods and techni-
ques,” says Per Levén.
Digital Capability Forum
In order to take up the questions raised around industrial digitalization,
ProcessIT Innovations arranged the
Digital Capability Forum in autumn
2015. Other forums were organised
in Umeå, Skellefteå, Sundsvall and
Örnsköldsvik. They will continue in
2016 in Luleå, Sandviken and Borlänge, among other places.
Participants in the Digital Capability Forum came from the industry,
suppliers, universities and public
administration, and the talks gave
a clear signal that many people are
wrestling with questions relating to
how digitalization will affect industrial activities.
”One very positive part of these
talks was to see how much interest
participants showed in finding collaboration on what are often complex
issues arising from the new way of
working,” says Per Levén.
2015
”
Per Levén,
CSO, ProcessIT Innovations.
National cooperation
”In 2015 we also intensified national cooperation with Automation
Region, FindIT and the Process
Industry Centre in Lund. This could
mean real improvements in 2016, not
least in the area of skills supply,” says
Per Levén.
”Looking ahead to 2016, we also
expect the platform project to facilitate third party suppliers developing
and distributing solutions for the
industry. The aim of this project is an
IT-based industrial platform which
will give the process industry and
its suppliers better opportunities for
developing new commercial applications,” continues Per Levén.
Industrial
digitalization
on the agenda
International focus
ProcessIT Innovations was characterised by continued international
work in 2015. Several major EU
projects involving many actors from
all over Europe have been in focus
during the year.
”In the international context, the
intense cooperation within the Arrowhead project has continued. This
is without doubt the largest cooperation within the EU connected with
automation in the process industry.
The budget is EUR 68 million and
more concrete results in the form of
products and pilot demonstrations
have already been presented,” says
John Lindström.
One million kronor grant to projects in the process industry
In 2015 new grants were allocated by the strategic innovation
programme PiiA, Process Industrial IT and Automation. In the
third round of calls, 15 different
projects were granted a total of
SEK 73 million.
Susanne Timsjö and Anders OE Johansson, Program Managers, PiiA.
Among the projects were several with
connections to ProcessIT Innovations. One project is about monitoring conveyor belts in the mining
industry.
Another project is coordinated
by Informatics at Umeå University
with the title ”Cloud-based platform
strategy for the process industry”. A
third is linked to the pulp and paper
industry and focuses on the grinding
5
result in the manufacture of paper.
Among the companies participating in the projects are Boliden,
LKAB, Optimation, Pulpeye, SCA
Munksund, Smurfit Kappa Kraftliner, MoRe Research, SCA Obbola,
BnearIT, Oryx, Mobilaris, Sogeti,
Acino, Eurocon MOPSsys, Protak,
ABB and Mine Tec. Umeå University
and Luleå University of Technology
are also participating.
John Lindström,
CEO, ProcessIT Innovations.
”In Arrowhead, for example, a way
of calling sensors and other devices
and services has been produced,
which is an important step towards
an industrial internet,” continues
John Lindström.
”In 2015 a new set of requirements
for ProcessIT, the EU Roadmap,
has started to be put together prior
to a future update of the Roadmap
in a year or so. The Roadmap is
important because it provides supporting information for decisionmakers throughout Europe and can
encourage common requirements for
IT and automation in the European
process industry,” says John Lindström.
Technology Park
Inlandets Teknikpark is a cooperation project between society, trade
and industry, schools and academia.
The project consists of around ten
companies, the municipalities of
Dorotea, Vilhelmina and Åsele, and
Malgomaj school and the Learning
Centre in Vilhelmina. The technology
park wants to develop a network of
long-term partnerships; currently the
network consists of ProcessIT Innovations and Sliperiet in Umeå, which
in turn has connections with Umeå
University. The project is financed by
participating companies and municipalities, and Region Västerbotten and
the County Administrative Board.
The technology park started in
2012 and the project will be completed by 31 December 2016. The aim
is that Inlandets Teknikpark will
become a lasting initiative.

Comments from the Board
The Board of ProcessIT Innovations has representatives from the process
industry, engineering companies, universities and the public sector. They
describe below what ProcessIT Innovations means for their professional field.
Magdalena Andersson
Staffan Sandström
governor,
Technical Director
Västerbotten County
Boliden Mineral
I am on the ProcessIT Innovations board to
strengthen innovation work and growth in the
county. The collaboration creates synergies that
are important for channelling resources into key
development areas around digitalization and
process automation for process industries and
suppliers. ProcessIT Innovations is a cooperating
partner that has good problem-solving skills.
This allows small and medium-sized enterprises to better focus on the necessary quality and
improvement work.
Kent Tano
Principal R&D Expert
LKAB
In 2015 LKAB developed an automation strategy
for the entire value chain, from solid ore located
in rock to the finished product. In this work, ProcessIT has contributed with a pilot study that has
listed the possible automation projects within the
mining process.
ProcessIT continues to be an important and competent project mediator that can help the process
industry by bringing together companies with
different skills and compiling a strong project
proposal for calls from the EU and Vinnova.
As the number of initiatives increases and
automation becomes increasingly important, this
role will be extremely important in the future.
”
We have a unique tradition of
cooperation between different
industries. Through ProcessIT
Innovations, this tradition
continues to thrive.
Tomas Lagerberg
Head of Automation Research
ABB Corporate Research
Anders Kyösti
Technical Director
SCA Munksund
ProcessIT represents a resource for process industries to import skills from suppliers and a forum
to provide information on their development
needs within the field of automation, for example.
The work of the board is important to
strengthen and develop this resource.
6
Industry is facing its paradigm shift. Everyone
is talking about digitalization, Industry 4.0, the
Internet of Things etc. For us - and for the Swedish process industries, it is extremely important
that we focus on exactly how new technology can
provide increased competitiveness. By focusing
on skills development, research and development
we can make a ”workshop” out of technology.
In Sweden we have a unique tradition of cooperation between different industries. The tradition lives on through ProcessIT Innovations.

ProcessIT Innovations’ activities are very
important for how we develop and strengthen
research and education in collaboration.
ProcessIT is an important piece of the puzzle
in the university’s ambition to create conditions
for using knowledge outside academia.
Seved Lycksell
Business Area Manager
Skellefteå Kraft
ProcessIT Innovations is absolutely vital for the
development of industry through collaboration,
skills and resources for development in areas that
include automation. In the energy sector, too,
there are areas of development where automation in various forms can contribute, not least to
an increased focus on efficiency.
In the fields of the work environment and
the environment, there is also room for continuous improvement. More knowledge and skills
contribute to increased competitiveness for the
company and for Swedish industry.
With the impression from work in ProcessIT
and from other actors linked to ProcessIT, Skellefteå Kraft finds the inspiration for continued
high-powered work in the field of automation.
This work has picked up speed and will become an important part of the adjustment of the
company to future energy systems.
Jerker Delsing
Professor
Luleå University of Technology
ProcessIT Innovations creates exciting interfaces
between the requirements of industry and the curiosity of research in new technologies. At these
interfaces, the grounds for research and innovation projects are being built which will create better industrial competitiveness and will be based
on the international reputation of academia.
7
Working with ProcessIT has given us the extra
skills needed to meet the requirements of the new
digital society. It has given us the opportunity to
participate in long-term development in fields
that require both competence and skills.
Through collaboration with businesses in
other sectors and with academia, we can find
ways to research together.
”
ProcessIT Innovations creates
exciting interfaces between the
requirements of industry and
the curiosity of research.
Lars Atterheim
CEO
BioSteam
As a member of the ProcessIT Innovations board,
I want to help strengthen research and technological development. ProcessIT is a foundation on
which to build business clusters and synergies
between small and medium-sized enterprises in
our region.
From my perspective, ProcessIT has now
taken the step into the energy and environmental sector to build up a project portfolio which
will be developed into collaboration between our
energy companies here in Norrland. A number
of research and development projects will evolve
which will help to reduce production costs. This
development will also help small and mediumsized businesses to become subcontractors of
services and equipment to the energy companies.
The energy and climate issue has received a
lot of attention in the industrialized world, and
particularly in China. Swedish service companies
and ProcessIT have the potential to become a
strong actor on this market by building up collaboration between universities and companies.
2015
Successes for Arrowhead
Arrowhead has high ratings in
evaluations, several concrete
products on the market, demonstration pilots and major
lectures at conferences. The EU
project has achieved continued
success in 2015.
The Arrowhead project is being
followed with great interest for
its extensive activities in the field
of automation and the Internet of
Things for the manufacturing, energy
and process industries. The budget
is EUR 68 million and 78 European
partners are taking part in the work
led by Professor Jerker Delsing from
Luleå University of Technology, who
is also a member of the board of
ProcessIT Innovations.
Excellent ratings
When Arrowhead was evaluated in
a third round for its ongoing work
in 2015, the project was given a very
high rating, ”excellent”, by an international committee.
Arrowhead is Europe’s largest
research project in the development
of automation for manufacturing,
energy and the process industries.
A concrete example of project
results so far is the development of
intelligent ball bearings in railway
wagons so that they effectively
measure their own wear and alert not
only the train driver and the Swedish
Transport Administration, but also
the suppliers of new ball bearings before the wheels on the wagons start
to fail. Costly stoppages are prevented in this way.
Professor Jerker Delsing from Luleå University of Technology is project manager for Arrowhead and member of the board of ProcessIT Innovations.
At the ICT 2015 in Lisbon in
2015 and the Embedded Conference
Scandinavia in Stockholm, practical
demonstrations were presented of
technological solutions designed with
the support of the Arrowhead project.
nology - were also a great success
when EISTEC AB and Luleå University of Technology won first prize
with the project in the prestigious
IPSO Challenge contest in San Diego
in December 2015.
Increased efficiency
In Lisbon, a system was shown for
more energy-efficient buildings, ecohousing and intelligent lighting in
cities. At the conference in Stockholm in November 2015, Arrowhead
showed 20 pilot demonstrations and
hosted 12 seminars. Innovations
presented here included charging
stations for electric vehicles, energyefficient real-estate systems, city
lighting control systems, wireless
communication and intelligent rock
bolts.
The latter - intelligent rock bolts
based on Arrowhead platform tech-
Open Source
Arrowhead Framework Core was also
developed in 2015, which facilitates
the launching of new services by
technology providers and industries
in an open source environment.
”Arrowhead Framework is a technology platform for automation that
has come at just the right moment.
Our strength is our size, and the fact
that so many industrial actors are
involved in the project,” says Jerker
Delsing.
Arrowhead was started in March
2013 and will run for four years.
From rock bolts to digital gazelles
A project with intelligent rock bolts
developed by researchers at Luleå
University of Technology in collaboration with companies has won
first prize in the prestigious IPSO
Challenge contest in San Diego, USA.
LTU, Eistec, GrepIT, Malmfälten AB
and Gluetech all participated in the
project, which has received funding from the strategic programme
Process Industriell IT and Automation, PiiA. Mobilaris was praised at
Boliden’s Supplier Summit 2015 for
how Mobilaris’ mining intelligence
gives added value to Boliden through
production efficiency and safety.

FältCom was awarded the Digital
Gazelle prize in northern Sweden by
the newspaper Dagens Industri and
Google. The company also received
the Growth Company of the Year
2015 award at Umeå Gala. Oryx
Simulations, together with Ericsson and Volvo CE, took part in the
Mobile World Congress that attracts
85,000 participants to Barcelona. In
the Ericsson booth, remote control
of heavy machinery and vehicles was
presented using an engineering solution from Oryx.

Kenth Johansson and Sara Lindahl, Adopticum.
A grant of SEK 11 million will help
companies in the north of Sweden to
be even sharper in optical metrology.
The Adopticum Foundation is behind
the project, which has close links to
ProcessIT Innovations. The Swedish
Agency for Economic and Regional
Growth granted SEK 11 million for
the Optical Measurement Techniques
for Innovative Trade and Industry
project in 2015. The project is run by
the Adopticum Foundation, which
has offices in Skellefteå and Umeå.
”Our goal is that products and
services which are a direct result of
the project should be on the market
during the life of the project,” says
Adopticum’s CEO Kenth Johansson.
Practical products
3D cameras, tablets for industrial
environments, optical sensors and
metrology are examples of activities
within the Adopticum Foundation.
The new project will be led by Sara
Lindahl at Adopticum.
”The plan is to work across industries and involve participants from
many types of businesses. We hope
that this will lead to breakthrough ideas and solutions,” says
Sara Lindahl.
Digital challenge
ProcessIT Innovations opened the
Digital Capabilities Forum in autumn
2015 to meet the challenges faced
by industry and companies in the
shape of digitalization. With a series
of seminars in Umeå, Örnsköldsvik,
Sundsvall and Skellefteå, issues were
raised in a more practical way.
”We believe that our management
of the digital transformation is an
extremely important question. It
involves huge challenges, but is also
an opportunity for us to take new
competitive global positions,” says
Per Levén, one of the initiators of the
Digital Capabilities Forum.
”We have to accelerate our shared
rate of innovation and growth,” says
Per Levén, one of the initiators of the
Digital Capabilities Forum. Arrangements will be organised in more
cities in 2016.
”We believe this is the beginning
of the digital challenge,” says Per
Levén.

Jan Björkman’s many years in the
management at ProcessIT resulted in
direct contact with the mining
industry, which was a solid basis for
the development of many projects.
Pär-Erik Martinsson, a project
manager at ProcessIT Innovations
for many years, has moved on to
FindIT, the Forum for Industrial IT
solutions. He has previously been
a project manager at ProcessIT
Innovations and Luleå University of
Technology, and is an expert on mining and Industry 4.0 among other
things.
2015
Examples of SCOPE projects:
Lightning, chemicals and valves
ProcessIT Innovations industry programme SCOPE detects topical issues
in the pulp and paper industry. Three projects supported by SCOPE in
2015 are described below.
Monitoring system
for lightning
Supply chain-plattform
for Chemical Deliveries
Valve monitoring
A number of investigations indicate
that costs to the forestry industry for
lightning-related damage are around
SEK 500 million per year. Voltage
drops in connection with lightning
can cause power outages of 10-20
hours, with associated costs of tens
of millions of kronor. The costs are
caused partly by disruptions in the
equipment, and partly by preventive
shutdowns to protect mechanical
and electrical systems. This pilot
study will look at the possibility of
creating technical solutions that can
display information from different
systems to provide operational
support for decisions on preventive
shutdowns of plants during lightning
storms. The study will also present
proposals for how the most sensitive
functions and objects can be identified and corrected.
Customers, suppliers and carriers all
want an industry standard for monitoring the levels in chemicals tanks
and chemicals cisterns. The data
collected can be used to automate
ordering procedures, optimize logistics and increase delivery reliability
and environmental safety. The aim of
the project is a supply chain platform
that can be integrated with chemical
suppliers’ own logistics and delivery
systems or used by third party developers to build applications. Examples of applications are current and
forecast consumption, stock levels,
GIS positioning for delivery address,
optimal driving routes etc. These
applications are used by industry,
suppliers and road haulage operators
and are accessible via smartphones,
tablets and/or workstations.
This project examines how a ”LowPower Wide Area Network” can be
used for wireless measurements in
an industrial environment. Different
sensors are examined for detecting
the position of typical hand valves.
In the first step small hand valves
are monitored, where the angle of
the handle can be used to detect
whether the valve is open or closed. When starting up a factory, it
is important to know all the valve
positions for optimum operational
conditions as well as safety. An incorrectly set valve can have major consequences. Different possibilities for
interfaces with the factory information
system will also be examined so that
information from the wireless sensor
network is as accessible as possible.
The wireless communication in the
factory environment will be evaluated
on the basis of criteria regarding the
range and infrastructure required for
installation, robustness and security.

Industry programs for
automation in the mining industry
GRAM is a ProcessIT Innovations industry program for automation in the
mining industry. The aim is to encourage the development of safer,
sustainable and environmentally friendly mining.
iMine
iRIS - fire-fighting in mines
SE Hinder
iMine, European Demonstration and
Test Facilities, aims to establish a coordinating function between parties
with an interest in mining automation.
iMine is a project in the ”Network of
Infrastructure,” which is operated
by EIT Raw Materials, a European
investment in research, development
and innovation in the handling of raw
materials.
The aim of the project is to raise
the level of innovation in the area.
iMine has a budget of just over EUR
1,000,000.
The iRIS project aims at the further
improvement of methods of firefighting in mining environments. The
background to iRIS is FIREM, Fire
Rescue in Mines, a project whose
objective is to equip a remote wheel
loader with a thermal camera for
reconnaissance and cutting
extinguishing equipment for firefighting in mines.
iRIS stands for Intelligent Risk
Identification System for safer mines
and is a part of the ”Upscaling”
activity driven by EIT Raw Materials.
iRIS has a budget of around EUR
600,000.
Obstacle detection is one of the most
important features for automatic and
manually operated machinery. The
machine’s capacity enables groups
of autonomous vehicles to interact
with each other in an unpredictable
environment. The overall objective
of the project is to effectively identify,
test and evaluate affordable, robust
sensors for obstacle detection that
meet the needs of work machinery.
SE Hinder is a direct continuation
of the PiiA pilot study called SIAA the collaboration platform for integration and automation of plant vehicles.
SE Hinder started in autumn 2015
and will run until spring 2016 with a
budget of SEK 450,000.

Project for
digitalization and automation
ProcessIT Innovations participates in several projects funded by
the EU framework programme Horizon 2020, its sub-programme
SPIRE, and the Swedish innovation authority VINNOVA.
Some of these projects are presented in these pages.
DISIRE
CompInnova
AEROWORKS
EuroCPS
The aim of the DISIRE project
is to develop technologies that
follow the flows of raw materials using embedded electronic sensors, which make it
possible to take readings from
otherwise inaccessible areas.
Tagging materials with
sensors can be an effective
tool for process control and
logistics, as well as optimization of plant systems. The aim
is also to create more energyefficient processes that lead
to higher product quality.
Among other things, the
DISIRE project will monitor
the large flows of iron ore pellets from LKAB that are shipped to the steelworks. In this
case the sensors may be the
same shape as the pellets.
They can be monitored using
RFID technology throughout
the whole value chain rather
than just a single process.
The aim of the project is to
develop an innovative inspection method for composite and
metal aircraft fuselages. The
aim of this project is to design
and develop electronics, software and mechanical devices
in a robot that will carry an integrated measuring unit. The
robot will be an autonomous
so-called vortex robot, i.e. it
moves by means of air and
can climb vertically and follow
the aircraft’s structure.
Luleå University is one of
five partners in the project
CompInnova, a Horizon 2020
project in the prestigious call
Future and Emerging Technologies (FET).
The aim of this project is
to develop unmanned air
vehicles that can carry out
supervision and work on
maintenance of infrastructure.
The costs of inspection
and repair of infrastructure
and installations are increasing rapidly and continuously.
Dealing with these increased
costs requires a paradigm
shift toward more automated,
efficient and reliable solutions,
at the same time as increasing the safety of personnel.
The aim of EuroCPS, Cyber
Physical Systems, is to create
a European network of design
centres and start up collaboration between CPS platforms
and CPS skills suppliers to
capture growth markets for
Internet of Things products
and embedded systems.
These are important driving
forces for innovation capacity
in European industries which
can create economic growth
and underpin meaningful jobs.
Cyber Physical Systems
(CPS) is about the next
generation of embedded ICT
systems which are interconnected and interact via the
Internet of Things, providing
citizens and companies with
a wide range of innovative
applications and services. .

Cloud-based platform
strategy for the
process industry
GranuReg the regulation of
granular processes
The goal is an IT-based industrial platform which will give
the process industry and its
suppliers better opportunities
for developing new commercial applications. The project
is inspired by the AppStore
and Google Play, and is built
on cloud-based architecture.
The platform will provide
the process industry with access to efficient, competitive
IT solutions that are easy
to buy and maintain. It will
also give suppliers access
to channels for reaching a
global market. The project has
resulted in a strong, shared
constellation.
The project is aimed at new
knowledge, methods and
tools for the design, marketing
and optimisation of industrial
processes with granular flows,
and more specifically for iron
ore pelletizing. The goals
include regulation methods for
granular flows and processes,
and specifically for iron ore
pelletizing; the link between
software for regulation and
granular simulation; algorithms for increased calculating efficiency in granular
simulations.
Solutions produced are
applied specifically to develop
methods for better regulation of roller circuits at LKAB
plants for iron ore pelletizing.
New regulation methods will
result in increased production
capacity and better quality of
pellets.

The grinding result
in the manufacture of
paper
Pi-SKALP
Scalable Platform for
Process Integration
WROOMM - Wireless
and remote operation
of mobile machines
ACO - Advanced
Conveyer Belt System
The grinding operation is a
central part of paper production, with the aim of exposing
and forming the fibres so
that the final product has
the desired properties. An
earlier project showed that
the result of grinding depends
on a number of controllable
process variables, and not
least the interaction between
these.
On the basis of those
results, a project is now being
run with the aim of analysing
the connection between measured fibre properties after
grinding and the resulting
paper properties.
The cost of raw materials in
scrap-based steel production
accounts for most of the production costs of the finished
raw steel. It is therefore of
great importance that the
optimization of raw materials
and energy supplied to the
different process is based on
efficient industrial IT solutions
that help to ensure low and
competitive production costs
for each unique customer
order.
The project will produce
a generic platform model in
which model-based optimization of production is made
possible. The platform will be
validated on an electric arc
furnace process at the Höganäs plant in Halmstad.
The aim of the project is to
develop concept solutions for
remote loading using large
wheel loaders in underground
mines, and remote monitoring
of such machines. Generic
solutions for operator support
when loading fragmented
material with a large variation
in size distribution has been
studied, as well as technical
system aspects of monitoring and maintenance of the
machines. The project also
covers wireless communication issues.
The project has received
funding from the national strategic innovation programme
Process Industrial IT and
Automation.
The goal of ACO - Advanced
Conveyor Belt Systems - is to
develop methods for the remote monitoring of conveyor
belt rollers for the mining
industry.
By equipping the composite rollers with sensors and
wireless communication, the
rollers can themselves detect
faults in the ball bearings,
for example, and continuously report r.p.m. and the
exact number of revolutions
the roller has rotated. This
makes maintenance work
more efficient and unplanned
stoppages are avoided.

The Board’s comments
on ProcessIT’s results for 2015
2015 has been a dynamic year in several segments
of the raw materials and energy markets, where
the price of oil, iron ore and electrical energy has
fluctuated and decreased steadily. This results in a
need among process industries, which refine raw
materials into various types of end products, to
increase customer value in their offers, to become
more efficient, and to keep investments and costs at
the right level.
ProcessIT Innovations operate in this field and
strive to make relevant pilot studies, small projects
and large projects in collaboration with suppliers of
IT and automation, process industries, researchers
and public actors, based on the process industry’s
set of requirements.
A clear increase in small and large projects
could be seen in 2015 for ProcessIT Innovations,
with a rise in turnover from around SEK 41 million
(SEK 55 million including Arrowhead) in 2014 to
approximately SEK 58 million (SEK 67 million
including Arrowhead). This indicates increased
activity and also more interest recently in society,
including the Swedish government, for the digitalization and reindustrialization that ProcessIT Innovations is working towards. VINNOVA’s strategic
innovation programmes PiiA, IoT, Produktion and
STRIM continue to be important pillars in the innovation landscape at the national level, and at the
EU level the continuation of Horizon 2020, Artemis
and ECSEL is very important for international
project building by ProcessIT Innovations.
In conclusion, 2015 has been a successful year
with increased turnover and commitment from new
parties, who are adding new ideas and energy to
operations.
Summary, other results from 2015:
New products: 15 (10)
New services: 1 (2)
New processes/process changes: 7 (2)
New prototypes: 32 (20)
New companies: 0 (0)
(2014 results in brackets)
There is an overall improvement compared with
2014, and it is particularly gratifying to see that
many prototypes have been developed. It is our
hope that more of these prototypes will be developed, refined and commercialised as products, services or other more advanced offers to customers.

1 Own work in time has been valued at SEK 600/h in
compliance with VINNOVA’s recommendations. Which
means that the industry has put in work amounting to
almost 37,800 hours.
2 The figures for all Arrowhead companies with regards
to their revenues and costs were not available for this
summary, and only a small part can be reported here.
According to the planned project budget, as well as the
project’s activities in 2015, the companies’ investments
should have been a further SEK 8,630,314, which would
have given ProcessIT Innovations a total turnover of SEK
67,058,537 thousand in 2015.
