1 PROMINENT TECHNOLOGICAL COMPETENCE: VIRTUAL PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION PROCESSES

2 MISSION OF VIRTUAL PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION PROCESSES Comprising of 3D and information and computational models and represented by virtual reality and augmented reality technology, enables various time and cost reducing applications for simulating and enhancing industrial production processes. 2

3 VIRTUAL PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION PROCESSES ENABLE Rapid analysis of machine or building performance in design and off-design conditions Ensuring the production continuity in normal situations and under some disturbances Saving time and money by managing the problem situations and durability factors 3

4 FAST FACTS 70 researchers, of which about 30% holds a PhD degree Strong established partnership network in international field consisting of 300 organizations, e.g. Stanford, Harvard, Salford (UK) 8 spin-offs and several productized software. Examples: Prowledge, Virable Remarkable IPR incomes and several products in the market Customers such as ABB, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Sandvik, Rocla, Raute, Senate Properties, Skanska 4

5 NEW POTENTIAL HIGH GROWTH OFFERING For maintenance Simulation based maintenance design Work tasks Maintenance scheduling Information system design to support maintenance (incl. AR Technology Appl.) For engineering Simulation aided design engineering analyses, optimization automation testing operator training safety analyses For production Simulation based production development Lay-out design Scheduling Workplace design Optimisation Dynamic production mgt Augmented Assembly 5

6 Pöyry: AR ON SITE AUGMENTED OUTDOORS VISUALIZATION OF BUILDINGS AND FACTORY MODELS Instant visualisation in any unprepared environment, anyplace, anytime Virtual building augmented on hand held device s camera view in real environments Feature based tracking, utilising Google Earth and GPS positioning Interactive positioning of building to real scene Applications by Pöyry, with factory plans in Finland and abroad Presentation to customers, communal authorities etc. Charles Woodward, Research Professor Tel

7 Raute: VIRTUAL FACTORY - USE OF SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY IN THE PLYWOOD FACTORY DESIGN Faster model building using component based approach, re-usable modelling segments and simulation data management Investment assurance, virtual testing of the planned factory equipments and operational parameters with customer Simulation run results with graphical presentation Visualisation improves communication Paavo Voho, Senior Research Scientist Tel

8 Sandvik: DYNAMIC PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT Paavo Voho, Senior Research Scientist Tel Use of simulation technology in the production scenario evaluation, customer order and production capacity management Automatic model building based on ERP data Customer order due date conformance, synchronisation of the flow through the plant; minimization of set-ups/changeovers, early warnings of a potential problem, check of critical resources and materials What-if scenario analysis for capacity planning, reduced planning effort for the day-to-day scheduling 8

9 Finnish Defence Forces: ENSURING THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR LIFT FRAME WITH HELP OF SIMULATION A simulation model for a person lifter was developed Dynamic characteristics and action in the full lift height could be observed Stability and security of the mast could be ensured in operating conditions corresponding reality With help of VTT s simulation Finnish Defence Forces became convinced that MSLP lift frame fulfils the set technical requirements Now Finnish Defence has ordered a prototype, which will be the first of its kind in the world Juha Kortelainen, Senior Research Scientist Tel

10 Real assembly Valtra: AUGMENTED REALITY FOR ASSEMBLY INCREASING EFFICIENCY IN ASSEMBLY WORK 60 ± 2 Nm Virtual objects (Next phase in assembly work) Visual assembly information is superimposed on physical parts in order to assist complex assembly work Product data (STEP data protocol) from commercial CAD systems is linked Demonstrations for the assembly of a tractor assessory s power unit at Valtra Plc Less faults, shorter learning period Excellent for small series/product variations Tapio Salonen, Senior Research Scientist Tel

11 Fortum Power and Heat: LOVIISA AUTOMATION RENEVAL TESTING AND TRAINING SIMULATOR VTT has developed working methods and simulation control tools for testing the control system against dynamic process simulator controlling the course of the training session Fortum uses the tools for virtual commissioning of operational and safety automation in full scope training simulation with a replica main control room as instructor station in testing the renewal of control systems in Loviisa nuclear power plant Fortum has been able to improve control system before the real commissioning and more advanced instructor station will make work of an instructor easier in operator training Tommi Karhela, Senior Research Scientist Tel

12 Case Metso: VIRTUAL REALITY FOR MAINTENANCE WORK Developed for designing, planning, training and guidance of manual and remote operated maintenance work in virtual environment Applied to METSO s product development As a result, the maintainability of the new crusher is optimised in the concept design phase Kaj Helin, Research Scientist, Team Leader Tel

13 Case Senate Properties: BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL GUIDELINES Tarja Mäkeläinen, Team Leader Tel Developed the requirements for the use of building information models (BIM) in the investment, design and construction process for all renovations and new buildings Detailed and comprehensive BIM guidelines defining model content for different disciplines, use of the models in analysis and simulations, and data exchange and model checking procedures in different phases of the process Improved decision making process based on more accurate investment and lifecycle cost information and environmental analysis Improved communication with the clients 13
