Functional model for the perpetual product (A05)

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

In subproject A05, the functional model for the perpetual product is developed, which enables the decision on the reliability of a unique new product from returning products as a basis for the control of the circular factory. First, the factor space of the instance-specific tolerance scheme is determined using the example of angle grinders and the model is structured (WP1). Subsequently, data on determined correlations in the factor space are collected (WP2). In WP3, quantitative statements on the quality of the function are combined on the basis of the tolerance scheme. Finally, the functional model is verified in WP4 on the basis of diagnostic data and further test bench trials.
