  • "It's about building resilience"


    To help the manufacturing industry withstand unexpected disruptions, researchers at the School of Engineering are investigating how AI can support companies.
    -"The ideal would be to detect disruptions before they happen," says Professor Mohamed Naim from Cardiff University, who is an advisor on the project.

  • "Our collaboration builds Europe"


    The School of Engineering's collaboration with the University of Udine in Italy is further strengthened when Professor Marco Sartor joins the the department of Supply Chain and Operations Management .—We have a lot in common and building bridges is at least as important as the research results themselves, he says.

  • "Research collaboration takes us forward!"


    Siemens Energy in Finspång has been part of JU's research profile AFAIR since the start four years ago and continues to participate in several different projects.
    — Collaboration means that we actively participate in the research - it takes us forward," says Nils-Erik Ohlson, who represents the company.

  • “Industry must dare to trust AI”


    Doctoral student Aicha Maalej wants to strengthen AI trustworthiness, which is her focus in the DELTA research project.
    —It’s about developing AI systems that are not only more reliable but also more transparent about how they reach their conclusions.

  • Valuable research insights through EULiST


    Maryam Gulzar, a doctoral student from the Software Engineering Department at LUT University in Finland, is doing an exchange at the School of Engineering (JTH) at Jönköping University (JU) through the alliance EULiST (European Universities Linking Society and Technology).

  • "It has had great effects for us"


    On 27 February, the final conference for the School of Engineering's research project RAdaBuff (Responsiveness through Adaptive Buffering) on how manufacturing companies achieve better delivery performance was held at the Science Park Towers in Jönköping.
    "It has had great effects for us and improved our delivery reliability to 98 percent, says Björn Carlsson, Supply Chain Manager at Tranter International, one of four partner companies in RAdaBuff.

  • Martin helps Industry Build Resilience in a Dynamic and Increasingly Uncertain World


    Just a year after earning his Master of Science in Engineering, Martin Seif realised that his education had not fully captured the reality unfolding before him. The pandemic had caused major disruptions in global supply chains, bringing everything to a standstill: ”The industry was not prepared for what happened, either theoretically or practically. That’s why it became obvious to me to research how data-driven decision-making can be used to build resilience in supply chains.”

  • ”It doesn’t matter how perfect the AI solution is if it doesn’t solve a problem!”


    ”AI is the solution! But to what? For companies and organisations to succeed with their AI transformation, they must start with the basics: understanding the problems. Alice Mohlin, the AFAIR doctoral student who doesn't shy away from the heavy groundwork, puts it plainly: ‘It doesn’t matter how perfect the AI solution is if it doesn’t solve a problem!’”

  • Einav is Inspired by Organizational Dynamics


    What is the best way to introduce AI into a company? For AFAIR researcher Einav Peretz-Andersson, the answer is clear: the entire organization must be engaged.

  • AI JKPG - A new network for businesses and organisations in the Jönköping region


    The development of AI is progressing at a rapid pace. For business owners, it can be a challenge to implement and benefit from AI within their own operations, especially while the daily running of the business demands attention. Now, businesses and organisations in the Jönköping region are getting a helping hand through a new initiative by Science Park and Jönköping University: a collaborative platform for AI called AI JKPG. The researchers from AFAIR are, of course, involved!
