Framework for Industrial Cyber-Physical System of Systems and Application Towards an Effective Treatment of End-of-Life Products
摘要
The amount of end-of-life products is increasing globally. Especially Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is growing with more than 50 million metric tonnes annually. Effective treatment of end-of-life products aims to prevent landfilling and reduce the need for primary resources to manufacture new products. To contribute to sustainability targets, recycling must be energy- and resource-efficient. Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems are mechatronic systems that intend to improve efficiency within industrial infrastructure through near real-time digital modeling and simulation. In addition, coupling multiple Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems offers further potential to increase the overall system effectiveness by connecting and aligning digital models or simulations from different disciplines toward a common goal. The paper describes the concept of Industrial Cyber-Physical System of Systems and derives prospects and future research directions for its application within battery value networks.
