DSYNE- Digital System Requirements for Natural Resources Engineering

Project name: DSYNE- Digital System Requirements for Natural Resources Engineering

It will promote research, education, and innovation activities needed to digitally transform how requirements are managed in large engineering projects.  Partners: UiO, USN, companies, and universities in Norway, Brasil, and the USA. 2020-2023. USN responsibility to create a course model on digital requirements.

Use of Automation Processes for Detection of Emergent Behavior

Project name: Use of Automation Processes for Detection of Emergent Behavior during Systems Integration Testing2

Industrial Ph.D. at Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace supported by RCN. 2021-2023

Vestsiden – Energy Management System

Project name: Vestsiden – Energy Management System

Kongsberg Kommune (2019-2020) 

Subsea Architecture

Project name: Subsea Architecture

Industrial PhD at TechnipFMC (2018-2021)

INSITUA

Automated Vehicles have the potential to significantly improve the competitivity of industrial park in a sustainable way. However, there are still considerable technical challenges that discourage companies to make significant investments in AVs. To overcome these challenges, the USN in collaboration with SEMCON AS are actively working on an industrial based project (the INSITUA) funded by Viken region. INSITUA project aims to develop a centralized system able to better integrate Automated Vehicles and human workers in industrial parks. INSITUA has the potential to support the Viken’s industrial advancement as well as achieve the carbon neutrality strategy of the region and Norway

Batnet

Project name: BatNet- Norwegian Battery Packing Network

Goal: Ensure that Norway takes a position in the global battery value chain, and through this ensure a higher rate of change in the green shift.

Project period: 2022-2024

Budget: 135MNoK, 70MNoK public funding from Innovasjon Norge, Norsk Katapult, Forskningsrådet og SIVA

Project owner: Kongsberg Klyngen AS

Contact USN: Associate Professor Omid Razbani
