Primus' research sharpens Swedish industry
Sharper knowledge and tools will make Swedish industry more competitive. Industry will then be able to meet today’s complex challenges and achieve sustainable growth. Primus is an engine for this development. Here, industry and University West work together to develop new research and skills within technology and learning.
Primus’ research will strengthen industry within the ongoing major technological shift. Digitalisation, new materials, new manufacturing processes and new ways of working all require new smart solutions. Our research links technology and learning in a completely new way. It provides effective tools that enable industry to benefit more quickly from research findings within its markets.
A unique combination of research areas creates new value
Primus builds on University West’s established research areas: Production Technology and Work-Integrated Learning (WIL). By increasing and deepening cooperation between these areas, we will gain greater flexibility to explore broader issues than before.
Production Processes – includes three thematic research areas:
- Thermal spraying
- Powder bed-based additive manufacturing
- Welding and welding-based additive manufacturing
Production Systems – includes six thematic research areas:
- AI and flexible automation
- Simulation, control and non-destructive testing of manufacturing processes
- Production management for sustainable development
- Cyber security
- AI, virtual reality and augmented reality
- Electrical engineering
