Development of an approach to create and structure the digital representation of disassembly sequences

With the transformation towards circular value chains, product disassembly as well as the digitization and automation of this process are of growing importance. The research project iDeaR is focusing the development of novel methods and technologies for the digitized and automated product disassembly. Part of these is the development of a digital representation of disassembly sequences which is required for automated dismantling processes and which also shall be a proposal, how disassembly sequences can be structured as part of digital product passports. This paper is describing the developed approach as also its first technical implementation and integration with sub-processes of an automated disassembly process.
