Efficient Maintenance for Sustaninable Transport Solutions - EMATS

Purpose and goal

The purpose with the project is to develop a maintenance solution from a holistic perspective from the different stakeholders in the transport solution. In the project we have developed an integrated information flow for the workshop (digitalization), we have also developed solutions that improved the work environment for the technician in the workshop and efficiency improvement for both driver and operation connected to the maintenance solution. Business models and how the different stakeholders interacts based on the technical conditions have been investigated and analyzed.

Expected results and effects

A prototype workshop has been built for test and development of the integrated information flow for the workshop. Among other things has semiautonomous solutions been developed that improved the work environment in the workshop. Through improved administration and autonomous collection for data contributes to improved component health status estimation. With new type of vehicles such as autonomous, new maintenance solution requirements will increase, solutions developed through this project creates the preconditions for an efficient maintenance solutions and business.

Planned approach and implementation

In the project a larger study has been conducted focusing on the future transport solution and maintenance solution. This together with today’s system solutions and challenges we have worked with an holistic perspective on how the future maintenance solution will be like, both from a technical and business perspective. A concept workshop has been built and specific solutions from the workshop have been tested in regular workshops. We have also developed solution on short time horizon that supports the operator and the driver with vehicle follow up.
