During last 3 years, T-REX project, funded under 7th framework Factories of the Future (FoF) programme, has developed technologies oriented to the optimization of machinery life-cycle, component re-use and servitization; these activities are all contributing towards the development of Industry 4.0. Moreover, it has developed a framework and other support tools to facilitate new business opportunities to companies, in particular SMEs.
The workshop, organised by IK4-TEKNIKER and ULMA, has demonstrated the feasibility of Service-Oriented Business Models, in particular for SMEs, and has provided direct feedback as success stories from manufacturing companies interested in extending servitization and re-use activities. Part of these activities presented the results obtained in the European T-REX project (Lifecycle Extension Through Product Redesign And Repair, Renovation, Reuse, Recycle Strategies For Usage & Reusage-Oriented Business Models).
