Obstacles and solutions: Light-out disassembly - A contribution to the development of the circular economy in Germany as an industrial location
Investigation into the transfer of light-out-factory approaches to automated disassembly.
The DeMoBat project - industrial dismantling of battery modules and electric motors to secure economically strategic raw materials for e-mobility (funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector, funding reference L7520102) is pursuing a solution approach for the circular economy by automating the dismantling of electric drive units and traction batteries. It takes up the core idea of a light-out factory in order to make high-quality recycling economically viable in Germany as a high-wage location.
The second white paper (download as PDF file...) developed by the Resource Technology and Systems department describes obstacles and solutions to the topic of LoF in the context of automated dismantling, so-called light-out disassembly. An extensive industry survey was used to develop a sound information base. On the basis of four theses, the degree of digitalisation and automation was placed in the context of company sizes, the exploitation of potential was examined, major obstacles were identified and the industry's prioritisation of possible enablers was investigated.
