    Nimbus Boats

    It’s full speed ahead for leisure craft production at Nimbus Produktion i Visby AB, a boat builder on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Demand skyrocketed, so boat building in its factory is continuously streamlined to meet production demands. One efficiency effort involved installation of Åkerströms’ remote-control system for overhead cranes. Using portable, wireless radio transmitters, builders hoist heavy parts while working and moving freely around the boat. This enables quick, safe work. Builders who run the system now have full control over clumsy, heavy boat parts.

    SSAB Tunnplåt

    SSAB Tunnplåt’s Borlänge operation has its steel sheet processing under control. The company—a subsidiary of the SSAB Group—processes 30-ton steel sheet rolls/coils with varying properties for purposes such as car, refrigerator, or door manufacturing. So it’s important to keep track of the warehouse’s hundreds of rolls, which must be cut to length and distributed to customers. SAAB Tunnplåt manages the logistics with a wireless network and Åkerströms’ remote-control solutions.

  • Oskarshamnsverket

    Oskarshamnsverket

    Right at the top of the reactor building at Oskarshamn 3 there is a Remotus system. It serves amongst other things to lift the lid off the reactor containment and also the lid off the reactor tank. The fuel is changed once a year in this fashion. The Remotus is also used to move the 80-tonne conveyor container used to remove the spent nuclear fuel.
    Safety at the plant is rigorous. Both as regards nuclear technology and physical protection. “There are multiple safety systems which are independent of each other. It’s rather like braces as well as a belt”, recounts Jan Petrini, deputy information chief at OKG. “The staff responsible for operation are highly experienced and very well trained”.

  • Skycon

    Service to simplify service

    By size, Skycon is a modest company with six employees. Yet it holds 85 percent of the global market—not bad, and its product is unique. Skycon manufactures and sells cleaning equipment systems for cruise ships and ferries.
    Micael Lis, CEO, talks about the market:
    “Cruise ships didn’t used to have real windows, just small openings, until public areas and cabins started to have more glass. Windows offer beautiful views, but quickly become dirty, particularly in very salty oceans. Today, ships have so much glass that it just can’t be maintained without a well-developed plan.”
    “I had some ideas from a previous job, and I started Skycon to make them happen. That was 21 years ago. Today we are world leading.”

  • LKAB

    Quality for underground movement

    Anyone who imagines that a mine is a tough environment is ...
    absolutely right. Robert Larsson is functional manager at LKAB that has facilities in Malmberget and Kiruna in northern Sweden.
    Larsson confirms: “Sure, working underground is often challenging. It’s hot and dirty. Industrial environments like the pelleting plant are both hot and wet. And it can be really cold outside in the winter. Those circumstances place high demands on the machines.”
