Göran Adamson

Göran Adamson is an Associate Professor in Automation Technology at the Department of Engineering, University of Skövde, Sweden. His research and teaching focus on advanced manufacturing technologies, particularly in the areas of cloud manufacturing, adaptive control systems, and cyber-physical production systems. With a strong publication record since 2010, his work bridges theoretical research with practical industrial applications.

Adamson's research interests center on the integration of cloud computing with manufacturing processes, developing adaptive control frameworks using function blocks (particularly IEC 61499 standard), and enhancing human-machine interaction on the shop floor. His work addresses critical challenges in Industry 4.0 transformation, focusing on how manufacturing equipment can become more flexible, reconfigurable, and responsive to changing production demands through cloud-based service architectures.

His publication record reveals a clear research trajectory focused on adaptive manufacturing systems. Starting with foundational work on function blocks for process planning around 2010-2012, his research evolved toward cloud manufacturing applications from 2013 onward. A significant portion of his work examines how cyber-physical systems can enable more adaptive production environments, with strong emphasis on practical implementation challenges. His research shows consistent collaboration with colleagues Lihui Wang, Magnus Holm, and Philip Moore across multiple publications.
