Factory processes and automation for de- and re-manufacturing (RIA) (Made in Europe partnership)

investigación innovación I+D+i desarrollo tecnológico europeo. HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions Expected Outcome: A viable industrial ecosystem for circularity in manufacturing industries emerges, enhancing both circularity and resilience; De-manufacturing technologies and practices become available, making decisive contributions to a European remanufacturing industry and market; Functions of products are retained, reused, upgraded or adapted through de-manufacturing and re-manufacturing; and Skills, standards and safety measures relevant to remanufacturing are developed. Scope: Proposals should focus on developing de-manufacturing and re-manufacturing technologies at the factory level, addressing at least three of the following: Technologies to efficiently analyse part condition and support predictive maintenance, including for re-manufactured parts or components of lower value, e.g. by combining multimodal sensor data, AI and human inputs; AI and robotic-assisted technologies, e.g. innovative end-effectors, to de-manufacture products and components, including handling, sorting and extended logistics; Model-based systems, to allow de-manufacturing and re-manufacturing operators to use CAD data and digital twins related to the original parts (and contribute to the development
