Excellence Cluster: Internet of Production

Shifting from linear manufacturing and the Cradle-to-Grave manner towards a circular economy challenges traditional production systems. Moreover, sustainable production needs to consider social, environmental and economic aspects. To meet all these targets, the change towards a circular economy needs to be driven by creative minds and disruptive technologies. Promising technologies in this regard are both hardware processes like additive manufacturing or software-based frameworks like the internet of things.

Task

Development of a model to assess the capability of a technology or process for a circular system Evaluation of the feasibility of advanced manufacturing technologies and smart processes for supporting the implementation of circular production systems

Requirements

We are searching for creative, highly motivated students who are not afraid to challenge existing theories and are eager to develop new approaches for a more sustainable economy
