Sustainability and the circular economy are not only shaping political and economic agendas, but are also at the heart of innovative research. With the Landshut Level Model of Remanufacturing (LEMOR), the two roeren colleagues Veronika Marquart and Julian Meißner, together with their co-authors Andreas Hofer and Michael Milde from Aperion Analytics, have made a contribution to the development of sustainable production processes. This has now been published in an anthology that was compiled on the occasion of Circularity Days 2024 and published by the renowned Springer-Verlag für Fachmedien.
Here is the link to the anthology: Circularity Days 2024. The title of the specific contribution is Evaluation of Component Suitability for Hybrid Remanufacturing Process Chains.
LEMOR is a comprehensive evaluation model that takes into account technical, economic and strategic criteria to assess the suitability of components for remanufacturing. What makes the model unique is the integration of hybrid process chains that combine additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies. This innovative approach makes it possible to efficiently repair damaged components and return them to the production cycle – in a quality that is “like new”.
The model is divided into four stages:
LEMOR helps companies to use resources more efficiently and meet the strict requirements of the circular economy. Particularly noteworthy is the model’s ability to enable complex repair processes through hybrid manufacturing. This not only contributes to sustainable value creation, but also offers economic benefits by conserving resources and reducing waste.
The strength of the model lies in its industrial applicability: LEMOR was tested and validated in collaboration with various industrial partners. Thanks to this practical development, it was possible to ensure that the model is tailored to the specific challenges and requirements of the real production world.
The publication by Springer-Verlag makes it clear that roeren wants to actively contribute to shaping a more sustainable future. To this end, roeren colleagues such as Veronika Marquart and Julian Meißner are contributing their extensive experience in the fields of process management and the circular economy. This article, which has now been published by Springer-Verlag, is not only a scientific success, but also a demonstration of the expertise anchored at roeren. The Landshut Level Model forms the basis for further developments in the field of the circular economy.
