R3-MYDAS

R3-MYDAS enables and accelerates the transition of the manufacturing industry to more sustainable circular value chains. It focuses on developing a multi-actor framework, integrating innovative digital technologies, advanced mechatronics and newly developed approaches from social sciences and humanities, for functionally, and environmentally sustainable circular value chains for remanufacturing energy goods at the industrial level. R3-MYDAS proves the reliability and replicability of remanufacturing through the development and validation of three demo cases, targeting the following energy goods: Oil & Gas components, E-vehicles batteries, and Wind turbines gearboxes. The technological innovation comes with changes in roles and skills needed by professionals and operators in the targeted sector and with logistic changes in the productive layout/process. Project demo cases will act as lighthouses for future cases and potential replications, mainstreaming the remanufacturing of energy goods in Europe. The primary R3-MYDAS objective is to develop a multi-actor framework, integrating innovative digital technologies (machine learning for process and quality control, marketplace, graph models for defects detection, digital twins), advanced mechatronics (additive manufacturing, laser-cladding, automated disassembly/reassembly) and newly developed approaches from social sciences and humanities (extended Integrated Technology Acceptance/Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology models, ethics and legal framework), for functionally, environmentally and economically sustainable circular value chains for remanufacturing of energy goods at the factory level. 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.
