Sustainable Remanufacturing solution with increased automation and recycled content in laser and plasma based process (RESTORE)

再制造对循环经济至关重要，可以延长产品寿命，创造就业机会和收入来源，减少浪费、能源消耗和温室气体排放。在工业价值链中，或者更确切地说，在价值周期中，成功的再制造需要解决的主要挑战与流程、设计和商业模式有关。为了应对这些挑战，RESTORE将通过设计提供可持续的再制造流程和材料，以及再制造生态系统或价值链数字化的支持工具。RESTORE的目标是推动潜在的SoA熔覆技术，包括激光直接能量沉积、等离子转移电弧工艺，用于可持续再制造应用。为了提高大规模应用的沉积速率，我们的目标是开发一种结合激光和PTA工艺的新型混合工艺。我们的目标是制造具有回收成分的焊丝原料，并开发一种送丝系统和辅助送丝系统，将加工碎屑/未使用的粉末直接转移到熔池中，这将为零浪费和低成本的再制造技术铺平道路。在数字化方面，我们的目标还包括开发Restore Platform，它将提供数字技术和工具，即提高流程自动化的数字技术、用于产品和流程优化的配方手册和模拟工具、决策支持框架、生态设计框架、支持区块链的数字产品护照、数字市场、商业模式模板和协作空间，这些空间可以帮助促进和简化再制造流程，提供更高的可追溯性、透明度和效率。数字协作空间将把再制造领域的所有相关行为者置于一个保护伞下，共享数据并利用决策支持框架和支持工具，指导工业产品和零部件的优化再制造。

Remanufacturing is critical for Circular Economies, extending product life, creating jobs and revenue streams, and reducing waste, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. The main challenges that need to be addressed for successful remanufacturing in an industrial value chain or, more appropriately, value cycle are related to process, design, and business models. To meet these challenges, RESTORE will offer sustainable by design remanufacturing process and materials along with supporting tools for digitalization of remanufacturing ecosystem or value chain. RESTORE is aiming to advance potential SoA cladding technologies including laser direct energy deposition, plasma transfer arc process for sustainable remanufacturing application. To increase the deposition rate for large scale applications, we are aiming to develop a novel hybrid process combining laser and PTA process. We are aiming to manufacture wire feedstock with recycled content and develop a wire feeding system coupled with auxiliary feeding system to transfer machining swarf/unused powder directly into the melt pool, this will pave the way to zero waste and low-cost remanufacturing technology. For digitalization, we are also aiming to develop RESTORE platform, which will offer digital technologies and tools, which are digital technologies to increase process automation, recipe book and simulation tools for product and process optimisation, decision support framework, ecoDESIGN framework, blockchain enabled digital product passport, digital marketplace, business model templates, and collaborative spaces that can help to facilitate and streamline the remanufacturing process, providing greater traceability, transparency, and efficiency. The digital collaborative space will bring all relevant actors of the remanufacturing domain under one umbrella to share data and leverage a decision support framework and supporting tool, guiding the optimal remanufacturing of industrial products and components.
