1 Sustainable Innovations for Automated Manufacturing of Multi-Material Products SFI SMART Cross-disciplinary research based innovation for new Multi- Material solutions with Automated Manufacturing and Organizational Processes to achieve competitive Norwegian manufacturing Sverre Gulbrandsen-Dahl

2 SFI SMART is the coordinator The center will start July 2015 Consortium: 13 Companies from automotive, aerospace, electronics, furniture, marine and defense industry. 3 NTNU faculties and 3 SINTEF institutes + SINTEF Raufoss Manufacturing and Gjøvik University College Materials & Chemistry Technology and Society ICT Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology Management 2

3 SFI SMART seeks to: Build on existing capabilities and strengthen the Norwegian manufacturing companies ability to innovate, and increasing the global competitiveness of Norwegian Manufacturing. Mirror the inherent cross-disciplinary innovation systems in the industry and combine research on: Multi-material product (MMP) solutions, Multi-material manufacturing processes, Flexible automated manufacturing, Organisational processes as well as its impact on society Unleash innovation potentials and research challenges embedded in the cross-disciplinary interfaces, and to develop new research methods 3
