Energy-efficient remanufacturing processes:

---

RESTORE introduces a hybrid laser and PTA process, enhancing precision and energy efficiency in large-scale cladding applications. The hybrid process boasts higher deposition rates with significantly lower energy input compared to other options like GTAW, MIG, and SAW.

Recycling and waste reduction:

---

RESTORE adopts a closed-loop approach, using recycled machining scrap to manufacture wire feedstock, reducing waste, material costs, and environmental impact while aligning with green manufacturing principles.

Digital automation tools:

---

Development of automated CAD file generation, damage localization, tool path generation, robotics integration, simulation tools, and a Recipe book for optimized process parameters without computationally expensive simulations.

Digital product passport (DPP):

---

A framework for creating DPPs supports remanufacturing by optimizing processes, quality control, traceability, and supply chain management, fostering efficiency, quality, and sustainability.

Digital collaborative space:

---

The RESTORE platform facilitates collaboration and communication among stakeholders, enhancing knowledge sharing, innovation, transparency, and circular economy principles across the remanufacturing ecosystem.

Digital marketplace:

---

A platform connecting buyers and sellers of remanufactured industrial components offers benefits like access to a larger customer base, cost savings, sustainability, quality assurance, and increased efficiency.

Blockchain and ontology integration:

---

Integrating ontology for automated DPP creation and blockchain technology for data sharing ensures interoperability, transparency, traceability, efficiency, security, and resilience against cyber-attacks or data breaches in the remanufacturing process.
