Manufuture and Sustainable Manufacturing

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Manufacturing is permanent on change and research requires orientations to the requirements of the future. Together with stakeholders from Manufacturing in Europe a Technology Platform — Manufuture — has been developed to formulate the strategic orientations towards the Visions of 2020 and objectives of future Research. The basic model of Manufuture has been discussed several times in the CIRC Workgroup “Paradigms” as well as in the European Manufuture Conferences. The known Model has been added by the aspects of sustainability in manufacturing to take into account the pressure for environment protection and climate. This paper gives a short summary about the way if integration of sustainability in manufacturing systems.
