Manufacturing performance characteristics
Environmental sustainability
Comment: Within the project, a life cycle environmental impacts optimization of industrial system is performed, combining it with life cycle costs and building a multi-objective optimization. Since the hot forming process is used to produce light weight car body parts, the improvement of this process by the LD solutions influences the possibilities of increasing the resource efficiency of the cars.
Circular economy
Comment: When the scrape rate in processes is reduced the resources are used more efficiently what is the goal of the solution.

Manufacturing performance characteristics
Environmental sustainability
Comment: Repair, renovation or re-use techniques are focused on environmental sustainability and the reduction of new resources.
Circular economy
Comment: New Service-Oriented Business Models are supported by lifecycle extension of the products with reduced Total Cost of Ownership as the basis for long-term relationships with the customers. Stable and continuous cash flows from customers will guarantee economic sustainability.
Product life extension
Innovative re-use of equipment
Comment: Lifecycle extension through product refurbishment or components re-use as second hand spare parts.

Manufacturing performance characteristics
Environmental sustainability
Comment: The new laser system that will be developed in QCOALA will comprise an optimised laser source with a wavelength suited to aluminium and copper welding, fully integrated with in-line process monitoring and inspection systems to ensure the quality of products that are produced. The new system will facilitate in-line quality control, as well as a higher level of automation in manufacturing, and thereby achieve higher yield and throughput, for both these high-in-demand applications.
Circular economy
Comment: The QCOALA concept will enable the development of products with improved performance. This is particularly important for applications requiring the highest level of performance and reliability in challenging conditions, essential in an application such as the electric car battery. Higher performance products will provide European manufacturers with an additional source of competitive advantage.
