The RESTORE (Sustainable Remanufacturing Solution with increased automation and recycled content in laser and plasma-based processes) project had its successful review meeting in Brussels, Belgium, on 24-25 September, 2025.
The achievements and milestones within the latest phase of the project were the centre of the discussion of the meeting. Each responsible organisation for the work packages delivered in-depth presentations, covering requirement analysis, sustainable cladding materials, digital tools, the remanufacturing platform, business model innovation, dissemination, and management. The reviewers and the partners also constructively discussed the results, challenges, and the path forward. As RESTORE believes that collaboration across partners ensures impactful progress toward sustainable remanufacturing and innovation in advanced manufacturing, this meeting was devised as a landmark event for a successful implementation of the project.
Salauddin Sohag, Head of Product and Promotion at TVS, joined the meeting to talk about what we have already done so far for the RESTORE project and what is yet to come. Sayedur Rahman, Senior Electronics Engineer at TVS, also participated in the meeting virtually. For the RESTORE project, TVS’s contributions include developing and integrating key digital tools to enable sustainable remanufacturing. TVS is particularly leading the blockchain integration, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and cost modelling, developing the Digital Product Passport (DPP) framework, the Circularity Calculator (CC), a DPP-enabled digital marketplace, and the overall platform. Over the past eighteen months, TVS has made great progress on these assigned tasks, which were presented by Salauddin Sohag in the review meeting.
About RESTORE Project
RESTORE aims to advance potential Service-oriented Architecture (SoA) cladding technologies, including laser direct energy deposition, plasma transfer arc process for sustainable remanufacturing applications. For digitalization, the project is also aiming to develop a platform, which will offer digital technologies and tools, to increase process automation, recipe book and simulation tools for product and process optimisation, decision support framework, ecoDESIGN framework, blockchain-enabled digital product passport, digital marketplace, business model templates, and collaborative spaces that can help to facilitate and streamline the remanufacturing process, providing greater traceability, transparency, and efficiency.
The RESTORE Project is funded within the Horizon Europe program (HADEA) with Project ID – 101138775
