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

再制造对于循环经济至关重要，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。要想在工业价值链中成功地再制造，或者更恰当地说，在价值周期中成功地再制造，需要解决的主要挑战是与过程、设计和商业模型相关的。为了应对这些挑战，RESTORE将为再制造生态系统或价值链的数字化提供可持续的设计再制造工艺和材料以及支持工具。RESTORE旨在推进潜在的SoA熔覆技术，包括激光直接能量沉积、等离子体转移电弧工艺，以实现可持续再制造应用。为了提高大规模应用的沉积速度，我们的目标是开发一种将激光和PTA工艺相结合的新型混合工艺。我们的目标是用可回收的材料制造线材原料，并开发一种带辅助进料系统的送丝系统，将机加工屑/未使用的粉末直接转移到熔池中，这将为零浪费和低成本再制造技术铺平道路。对于数字化，我们还致力于开发RESTORE平台，该平台将提供数字技术和工具，这些数字技术可以提高过程自动化，配方书和模拟工具，用于产品和过程优化，决策支持框架，生态设计框架，区块链支持的数字产品护照，数字市场，商业模式模板和协作空间，可以帮助促进和简化再制造过程。提供更好的可追溯性、透明度和效率。数字协作空间将把再制造领域的所有相关参与者聚集在一个保护伞下，共享数据并利用决策支持框架和支持工具，指导工业产品和部件的最佳再制造。

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.
