Volvo CE is working on an innovative machine communications technology system. This development will help with the operation of autonomous machines, allowing remote control and operation even when equipment is in use as much as 400m underground. The aim of the development project is to boost safety, productivity and efficiency.
The firm is using 5G communications technology in trials being carried out in partnership with communications specialist Telia. The trials are being run at a test facility in Eskils
A new programme of research may deliver innovative technologies to help in the development of more complex concrete structures. This new research project is enabling state-of-the-art design through the use of finite element limit analysis for solid concrete structures. This is helping to deliver savings in terms of materials and time, with a major impact for cost reduction. Meanwhile structures can be built more readily and with fewer environmental issues.
