CRC 1574 - Circular Factory for the Perpetual Product
The vision of the Collaborative Research Center 1574 "Circular Factory for the Perpetual Product" is to enable integrated linear and circular production on an industrial scale. This should translate used products into current product generations in order to achieve the vision of the perpetual product. To investigate the unknown processes and mechanisms, the Collaborative Research Center deals with scientific questions related to production technology, product development and materials technology, ergonomics, robotics, computer science and knowledge modelling.
