1 AAU SMART PRODUCTION PROFESSOR CHARLES MØLLER, AALBORG UNIVERSITY

2 The fourth industrial revolution FIRST Industrial Revolution Introduction of mechanical production facilities with the help of water and steam power SECOND Industrial Revolution Introduction of division of labor and mass production with the help of electrical energy THIRD Industrial Revolution Use of electronic and IT systems that further automate production FOURTH Industrial Revolution Production technology, advanced materials, automation and digitalization

3 The need for smarter production systems Increasing pressure to manufacture at more competitive prices Globalization remains a fact Increasing demands for flexibility and agility Volatile markets, increasing product complexity and variety faster product lifecycles Increasing deficit of environmental resources market and customer expectations and legal requirements

4 Smart Production Summary A cross disciplinary research initiative at AAU running Objectives: To build and enhance AAUs interdisciplinary platform on manufacturing research (AAU production) To research and demonstrate how manufacturing industries can benefit from emerging technologies the new promising manufacturing technologies, concepts and methodologies coming out of Industrie 4.0 (D), Smart Manufacturing (US) and equivalent initiatives To adapt these technologies and concepts to the needs and characteristics of Danish industries specific focus on regional SME

5 Context: Interdisciplinary approach Management Automation Sustainability Smart Production Materials and processes Electronics Computer science

11 WP5: Smart Production Lab Vision: A small factory which: integrates Smart Production researchers and research results demonstrates how manufacturing companies can benefit from Smart Production technologies Researchers End-users Students System integrators Technology providers

12 WP6-7: Knowledge Exchange WP6 Teaching Coordination Engagement of students Ph.D. course planned for WP7: Systematic Dissemination Training and dissimilation activities Small pilot projects (budget DKr) Industrial PhDs (or post docs) Common demonstration activities with technology providers and system integrators Long term strategic collaboration (3-5 years)

13 Smart Production Funding Funding sources 3 mill. DDK / year (AAU / MADE / SPIR) 4.2 mill. DDK (Obel Family Foundation / AAU) 6.5 mill. DKK (Laurits Andersens Fond) Affiliated research activities MADE, Manufacturing Academy of Denmark MADE Digital (direct link) INC 4.0, Incubator 4.0 H2020, FOF (planned)

14 Status and plans as of May 2016 Status 5 PhDs will be started Nov. 1 additional posted 1 Industrial PhD (together with Blue Ocean Robotics) 2 pilot projects initiated Strategic collaboration agreement with GPV (2 more in pipeline) Industrie 4.0 training course completed (in collaboration with SAP) Preliminary collaboration agreement with FESTO and SAP. Contacts established with Danish technology/system providers and endusers Plans within next 12 months Additional 2 industrial PhDs (or post docs) Additional pilot projects Innovation booster proposal Horizon 2020 proposal Building the physical Smart Production Lab MADE Digitalization of production and supply chains seminar (9/6) MADE Open Lab 15/11

15 Conclusion What we want to achieve in the next 4-8 years Gain funding for sustaining an integrative research platform consisting of senior researchers and junior researchers working in close collaboration with industry, national and international researchers, as well as other platforms Develop innovative research on smart production in close collaboration with key stakeholders with high industrial impact Ultimately to become globally recognized as a leading competence center for innovative production
