Project structure

The implementation of the research project is carried out in the seven work packages (WP) described below. Based on the methodological and theoretical foundations derived from the first work package, various application-specific remanufacturing approaches will be developed in the second work package. In parallel, guidelines for a product design with a focus on the integration and networking of digital sensor technology are developed in the third work package and implemented in an exemplary manner using a demonstrator. Based on these guidelines, an evaluation model will be designed and implemented in a software application to support decision-making regarding the optimal timing and scope (increase in performance) of the remanufacturing measure to be selected. Simultaneously, a sustainable, remanufacturing-based business model will be developed in work package five. The sixth work package concludes with a complete validation of the results obtained. Led by the consortium leader, project management, documentation and public relations work will be carried out in parallel to the research project.
