Important results from the project
The project´s objective for Phase 1 was largely met and the project delivered according to plan. In addition, important synergies were created: new networks between industry and academia, methodology for AI-supported process control, benchmarking data for sustainable manufacturing, and insights into value chains and system transformation. These results strengthen the foundation for Phase 2 and future sustainability work.
Expected long term effects
The results from the project are expected to have long-term effects such as increased resource efficiency, reduced climate footprint and strengthened competitiveness. Digitalization and AI methodology enable smarter process control, while networks and insights into value chains drive innovation and strategic decisions. This strengthens Sweden´s role in sustainable industrial transition.
Approach and implementation
The project was implemented in four work packages: System Transformation, Sustainable Design, Sustainable Manufacturing and Digitalization and Industriell AI. The work was carried out in close collaboration between industry and academia with workshops and regular coordination. The approach provided synergies between the packages and laid the foundation for the next phase in the transition towards sustainable production.
