Re?Pli
Against the backdrop of the energy transition, German industry is also coming under increasing pressure to reorganise production processes. Social change is taking place and the sustainability and variability of production is becoming increasingly important, also in order to achieve the climate targets set by the European Union for the year 2050. At the same time, the reduction of industry-related greenhouse gas emissions has been stagnating for years, which is partly due to uncertainties in the implementation of new processes.
This is where the project "Renewable energies for the efficient operation of a press hardening line" (Re?Pli) comes in. A sustainable and efficient production line for the manufacture of press-hardened components is to be set up and validated on the basis of inductive heating. In addition to production, energy and economic aspects of a production line based on renewable energies will be analysed. This should eliminate uncertainties regarding the applicability of the process and identify scenarios for implementation in a future energy and production concept. By embedding the
project in the New Mobility Paderborn experimental space, there are numerous interfaces to other fields of research, enabling the process developed to be implemented in a real system environment.
