R3-Mydas | REmanufacturing, repurposing and recycling energy goods through advanced Mechatronic and Digital technologies

Summary

Despite the multiple advantages of products remanufacturing, being widely recognised as an effective means for transitioning to a more circular economy, there is still need for improved research and experimental observations, to improve traceability and reliability of the final products from end-users’ perspectives, as well as enhanced impacts monitoring.

The primary R3-Mydas objective is to develop a multi-actor framework, integrating innovative digital technologies (ML for process and quality control, marketplace, graph models for defects detection, digital twins), advanced mechatronics (AM, laser-cladding, automated disassembly/reassembly) and newly developed approaches from SSH (extended TAM/UTAUT models, ethics and legal framework), for functionally, environmentally and economically sustainable circular value chains for remanufacturing of energy goods at the factory level (Oil&Gas crankshafts – demo 1, E-vehicles batteries– demo 2, Wind turbines gearboxes – demo3).

R3-Mydas will deliver unprecedented impacts throughout the targeted value chains, as follows:

  • up to 60% time reduction in programming for remanufacturing;
  • up to 20% increased product quality; up to 30% rework reduction [Demo 1];
  • up to 30% improved detection of tiny deviations from normal behaviour;
  • up to 50% faster anomaly localization;
  • up to 30% increase the number of different modality data streams handled;
  • up to 20% faster fusion process [Demo 2];
  • up to 99% reusage rate;
  • -90% prevention rate;
  • -75% lead time;
  • up to 85% raw material savings potential [Demo 3].

The Project will deliver a marketplace associating to each remanufactured product or services/component for remanufacturing a Digital Passport-like set of information, ensuring full traceability.

Finally, a dedicated training programme will be designed and delivered by EITM, targeting the Project remanufacturing value chains (100+ training hours and 100+ diverse stakeholders engaged during the Project).

Comment:

The R3-MYDAS project is focused on the remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling of energy goods through advanced Mechatronic and Digital Technologies. The standardization will focus on the assessment of gear geometry and load distribution, lasers and laser-related equipment, metallurgical specifications for steel gearing, test methods for laser beam power characteristics, robotics, among others.
