Integrated description, planning and modeling of the perpetual product (A04)

• Subject Area: Engineering Design, Machine Elements, Product Development
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 471687386

The objective of A04 is the conception of a methodical procedure for product development in the form of a "Design for Circular Factory" approach. For this purpose, WP1 provides an ontological description of the perpetual product and its generation-spanning emergence. In addition, user and customer scenarios are ontologically modeled in WP2 and linked to the ontology of the perpetual product. This forms the basis for the following WP3 and WP4, in which a methodological procedure for planning and evaluating variations for the development of new generations of the perpetual product is explored. Building on the results, an architecture model will be successively created in WP5.
