In the course of realising a circular economy, it will become increasingly important to consider product properties that will only become apparent in later use at the development and design stage. This applies, for example, to properties such as modularity, reparability or recyclability, the necessary compliance with which has already been promised by legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to deliver closed-loop designs and to test functionalities, potentials, individual risks and value-added promises during development, cross-company models, data and simulation tools (e.g. Digital twins<\/em>) are provided or used. The necessary technologies for cross-company data-based simulation processes exist, but in some cases they fundamentally change classic product design processes with new, unfamiliar and complex challenges for the entire company management. Practical experience therefore recommends a step-by-step approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this online seminar on 20 September 2022 with 65 participants, we used a concrete implementation example to demonstrate methodology and feasibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
