Purpose and goal
The overall goal of the pre-study study is to develop an integrated simulation platform to support the transition towards sustainable quarries and mines, while reducing the total cost. This will be achieved by further developing an existing simulation platform, created in previous Vinnova-funded projects, and expanding it to a broader supply chain to enable collaboration between multiple actors along the entire value chain.
Expected effects and result
In a context characterized by changing conditions with new technologies and work processes, the further development of the simulation platform is intended to support overall optimization, evaluate future paths towards zero emissions, and accelerate the introduction of new technologies such as electrification and autonomy. The platform can serve as a competitive lever by enabling virtual simulation of new process settings and machine performance without the need for extensive physical investments
Planned approach and implementation
The pre-study is a one-year effort divided into six work packages. BTH, as coordinator, leads all work packages and contributes expertise in simulation modeling, systems engineering and value-driven design. Epiroc and Volvo CE contribute broad knowledge in machine modeling, electrification, and data management. The project aims to create the conditions and build a consortium for large-scale system demonstration of the potential of collaborative simulation platforms and value chain optimization.
