Risk assessment is a fundamental stage in the development of new products and systems, especially when adopting novel technologies. While such innovative solutions bring new benefits, they often introduce new risks and hazards that all the stakeholders (engineers, risk-assessment professionals, customers, and final users) are not experienced with....

Maintaining high product quality while reducing cost is essential for mass-customised products, requiring continuous improvement of the product development process. To this end, design automation should be utilised in all stages of a product’s develop process and lay the foundation for automation of repetitive tasks throughout the process from inte...

Companies manufacturing customized engineer-to-order (ETO) products are decelerated by repetitive work, misinterpretations and uncoordinated processes which prohibits the achievement of mass customization. Being able to deliver customized product with low costs and fast delivery times, the concept of mass customization, is a prerequisite for mainta...

With industries striving towards increased customisation of complex products through engineer-to-order, methods are continuously sought to rationalise the product development process. To this end, a framework is proposed using CAD configurators, utilising design automation and knowledge-based engineering to integrate sales and design processes in p...

As fenceless human-robot collaborative (HRC) production layouts are developed as a viable alternative to traditional set-ups, risk assessment of such installations becomes highly complex. The involved risks include new challenges in the form of previously non-encountered dynamic hazards, which demand innovative solutions to ensure human occupationa...
