Sammanfattning
Control rooms for monitoring and steering play a very important role in many industries, yet
this area is underappreciated and rarely discussed. It is often an invisible – but incredibly
important – part that constitutes the heart of production. Despite their underestimated role,
such rooms are of great importance in ensuring the quality and safety of production flows.
This makes it important to deepen the knowledge about control rooms.
This project has been initiated by Volvo Cars, which manufactures passenger vehicles. Volvo
is characterized by safety, quality, innovation, and sustainability. The company produces
modern, safe, high quality cars with people at the centre. They believe that working towards
enhancing control room operations can increase production efficiency and product quality.
The project has been carried out as a mechanical engineering degree project at Chalmers
University of Technology. The aim of the project is to contribute greater insight into and
deeper understanding of the complex challenges that exist in a control room in order to enable
the development of better control room operations in the future.
Observations of the control room in the paint factory, interviews with control room operators
and benchmarking against control rooms in other factories led to a better understanding of
control room problem areas.
The thesis presents the results from the methods used, where focus was on identifying,
describing and explaining control room design problem areas and capturing insights from
control room solutions in other factories. The results reveal that many control rooms
experience the same issues to a greater or lesser degree, aspects that are highlighted in this
project.
The conclusion is that it is entirely possible to design a more modern, efficient and work
environment-friendly control room, as long as there is a strong cross-functional collaboration
with the end user in focus
