This study explores the intersection of project development and organizational knowledge creation within the context of industry-academia collaboration, applying Nonaka and Takeuchi's organizational knowledge creation model as the theoretical framework. Conducted at the Manufacturing Laboratory (Manulab) at the Norwegian University of Science and T...

When simulating manufacturing systems and the production of components, sufficient realistic behaviour is needed to use the simulation as a decision-making tool for optimising and verifying the design. To simulate, design, and optimise fish processing with the singular simulation of fish, a physics engine with soft body support and advanced interac...

The oceans play an important role in the world's food supply, so it is very important that we can develop sustainable, safe, and cost-effective production and processing of fish that also safeguards fish welfare. The aim of this research work is to explore if state of the art simulation tools and artificial intelligence, can improve the design, man...

This article delves into the pivotal role of simulation platforms in efficiently advancing innovation projects, drawing insights from a case study involving Manulab, the Manufacturing Laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and regional fish industry companies. The utilization of simulation platforms emerges as a cornersto...

The challenging global environmental, economic, and societal transformations urge Norwegian industry to capitalize on all value creation from the manufacturing processes. For many companies, this implies taking manufacturing back to Norway. However, high labour costs do not allow Norway to compete in the global market, and therefore industry needs...

Much research is put into researching the simulation of manufacturing systems and operations, typically Discrete Event Simulation for systems and machining simulations. These simulations are often limited to idealistic behavior within the systems (e.g., no physics involved) and infinitely rigid objects (e.g., no bending or other impacts from tools)...

State of the art Engineering Education is crucial for Research and Innovation according to the European Union's growth strategy. This paper contributes with more knowledge of how Universities and Industry can facilitate collaborative learning environments and create efficient working methods. A group of students accepted the challenge from an indus...
