TRUST-SOS – TRUSTed – Site Optimisation Solutions
Abstract [sv]
I projektet TRUST–SOS utvecklar vi digitaliserade tjänster för att öka nivån på betrott beslutsfattande för att optimera övergripande platssystem i terrängtransporttillämpningar. Det finns det ett behov av att övervinna de befintliga systemets ineffektivitet och bygga upp ett mer tillförlitligt och pålitligt beslutsstödsystem för att minska ineffektiviteten och hantera komplexiteten i värdekedjan i terrängtillämpningar.Att bygga ett modulärt och modellbaserat beslutsstödsystem kommer att skapa många möjligheter för digitaliserade tjänster för nästa generations platsoptimerade system. TRUST–SOS kombinerar platsmodellering, maskin- och platssimulering och optimering för att främja svensk akademi och industri genom att skapa digitaliserade tjänster i ett icke-proprietärt system för terrängtransportapplikationen. Genom att utveckla datadrivna modeller för simulering och optimering av kundplatsdrift i kombination med avancerad dataanalys går vi från den nuvarande erfarenhetsbaserade processen till en modellbaserad process som gör det möjligt för oss att leverera kundvärde när det gäller tjänster och pålitligt beslutsstöd. Utvecklade modeller kommer att testas i en slutlig demonstration i en kundplatsverksamhet.
Abstract [en]
In the project we are developing digitalized services to increase the level of trusted decision making to optimise overall site systems in off-road transport applications. By developing data-driven models for real-time simulation and optimisation of customer site operations, combined with advanced data analytics, we move from the current experience-based process to a model-based process that will enable us to deliver customer value in terms of services and trusted decision support. Developed models will be tested in a realistic testbed for a final demonstration.

Abstract [en]

The ongoing servitization journey of the manufacturing industries instills a through-life perspective of value, where a combination of products and services is delivered to meet expectations. Often described as a product-service system (PSS), these systems are poised with many complexity aspects, introducing uncertainties during the design phase. Incorporating changeability is one of the known strategies to deal with such uncertainties, where the system changes in the face of uncertainty to sustain value, thereby achieving value robustness. While the theme of dealing with multiple uncertainties has been discussed since the inception of PSS, changeability is still poorly addressed. To bridge this gap, an integrative literature review is performed to outline various complexities aspects and their link to uncertainty from a PSS perspective. Also, the state-of-the-art approach to achieving value robustness is presented via changeability incorporation. Subsequently, a reference framework is proposed to guide decision-makers in changeability incorporation in PSS, especially during the early design stages.

Abstract [en]

Innovation plays a vital role in ensuring sustainable mining operations. Electrification and autonomy are two significant trends, but their implementation brings complexity at vehicle and site levels. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how these technologies impact the overall site value creation. This paper suggests a hybrid approach that combines Agent-Based Simulation and vehicle dynamics modeling to explore site configurations. By regarding a mining site as a System-of-Systems, designers can concurrently test different designs to find the optimal combination for a specific scenario.

Abstract [en]

The paper outlines a vision for how XR technologies can be utilized to support PSS design decisions concerning changeability with an emphasis on perceptual limitations. An XR-enabled PSS changeability incorporation method is proposed based on the extension of the Responsive Systems Comparison method by integrating XR technologies to leverage the potential of information visualization for decision-making. The proposed method is theoretically described and applied to a demonstrative case in the construction machinery industry facing the problem of designing the next-generation autonomous and electrical vehicles for quarrying and mining. © 2023, IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.

Abstract [en]

The paper presents an approach where the iterative replication of Discrete Event Simulations on future operational scenarios is used to derive data-driven design merit functions. The presented contribution proposes an extension of the EVOKE (Early Value Oriented Design Exploration with Knowledge Maturity) approach determining when and how the experience-based judgment about maximization, minimization, optimization, and avoidance functions, correlating value drivers and quantified objectives, can be substituted by data-driven mathematical functions obtained by scenarios simulations. The approach is described through a simplified case concerning the development of autonomous electric vehicles to complement the public transport system in the city of Karlskrona in Sweden. The consideration of value drivers and quantified objectives presented is meant to support a preliminary screening of potential design configurations to support the definition of high-level product and system-related functional requirements, to be run before a more detailed conceptual design analysis. © The Author(s), 2023.

Abstract [en]

The design of Product-Service Systems (PSS) is challenging due to the inherent complexities and the associated uncertainties. This challenge aggravates when the PSS being considered has a longer lifespan, is expected to encounter a dynamic context, and integrates many novel technologies. From systems engineering literature, one of the measures for mitigating the risks associated with the uncertainties is incorporating means in the system to change internally as a response to change externally. Such systems are referred to as value-robust systems, and their development largely relies on Tradespace exploration and synthesis. Tradespace exploration and synthesis can be challenging and a time-consuming task due to dimensionality. In this light, this paper aims to present an approach that enables the population of the Tradespace and then, supports the synthesis of such a Tradespace using a clustering algorithm for support changeability quantification in PSS. The proposed method is also implemented on a demonstrative case from the construction machinery industry.

Abstract [en]

The metaverse, which is often described as featuring a range of technologies for Extended Reality (XR) to consume and digest information from large and complex Digital Twins (DTs), is often discussed as one of the pillars of Industry 5.0 transformation. Immersive computer-generated environments based on DT and XR are highlighted as cornerstone technologies for the future of product and system design. While they are expected to become a commodity in the engineering toolbox in the next 20 years, little is known about how to set up and implement such environments to maximize innovation and collaboration capabilities in design. This article discusses the high-level gaps that remain before the vision of the metaverse in design is realized. It further draws a roadmap, based on four major tracks, that pinpoints research areas, methodological approaches and capabilities needed to develop and realise digital immersive experiences for collaborative value co-creation in design.
