Here is a selection of the projects that has been done at BTH Innovation Labs
Predictive Maintenance for Cableway Rollers
Systematic Concept Evaluation and ExperimentalValidation of a Portable Condition Monitoring Device Background. Unplanned stoppages in cableway roller systems cause significantfinancial losses and material waste in manufacturing environments like NKT inKarlskrona. Current maintenance strategies are mostly reactive or rely on manualinspections, creating a need for practical predictive maintenance…

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used in applications such as environmental monitoring, underwater inspection, and seabed mapping. However, many existing systems are either expensive, mechanically complex, or difficult to adapt for small-scale development projects. The purpose of this project was therefore to design and develop a…

Guiding a continuous sheet through multiple rollers
Tail threading is the process of guiding a continuous sheet through multiple rollers. It is a critical step in paper, board, and textile production, especially after a break or during startup. This thesis investigates the development of improved methods for tail threading in flooring mat production, which…

Wave energy conversion system
This project aims to prove that it is possible to build a small-scale, low-budget wave energy conversion system, optimized for near-shore operation. A prototype was developed to efficiently harvest wave energy and measure output voltage, with the intention of also tracking the wave height. The solution for…

High-frequency radar imaging
High-frequency radar imaging using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology has significant potential for non-destructive testing and quality control in industrial applications, such as inspecting High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables during manufacturing. This thesis develops and verifies a calibration procedure designed to accurately determine the Phase Centre…

Det immersiva ägget
På vårt studiebesök på Malmö Museum fastnade jag för Eero Aarnios Ball Chair Audio. Jag slogs av den avskärmade känslan och hur man blev audiellt isolerad från rummet utanför. Samtidigt gillade jag hur bilden i Wisdome täckte i princip hela synfältet, och tänkte att den en fusion…

Adaptive Designs for Maritime Environments
Background: Saab, a Swedish defense and security firm, specializes in aerospace, defense, and maritime technologies. Challenges with customized mounts for naval systems hinder maintenance efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Developing standardized mounts could optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve readiness. Corrosion threatens structures, and reducing a vessel’s magnetic field signature…

Test Method for Volume-resistivity Measurements on High Voltage Cables
Introduktion. En del av den standardiserade testproceduren för högspänningskablar är att mäta volymresistiviteten på de olika halvledande skikten. Behovet av förbättring har uppstått på grund av den ökade testfrekvensen, vilket är en följd av den senaste utökningen av kabelproduktionen vid NKT i Karlskrona. Syfte. Syftena med detta masterarbete…

Simulations for developing new parts
The automotive industry is reliant on accurate finite element simulations for developing new parts or machines and to achieve this, accurate material models are essential. Material cards contain input about the material model, and are significant; however, time-consuming to calibrate with traditional methods. Therefore a newer method…
