Conference on Circular Production Systems and Technologies (CCPT)
Circular Production Systems and Technologies - Enablers of the Future
In a world striving for sustainability, circular production is no longer optional, it's essential. The Circular Production Systems and Technologies conference is the meeting place for experts from research and industry to explore how circular technologies reshape production, minimize waste, and create lasting value.
On June 9 and 10, 2026, the CRC 1574 (Collaborative Research Center “Circular Factory for the Perpetual Innovative Product”) invites you to Karlsruhe for two days full of in-depth specialist presentations, discussions, and valuable networking opportunities.
The conference will focus on strategies, technologies and systems for sustainable industrial production. The topics range from integrated circular production and product-production co-design to adaptive reprocessing, sensor-based condition assessment and changeable production systems. Perspectives from production and materials technology, computer science, robotics and knowledge modeling are brought together.
The aim is to discuss new solutions together with industry, create synergies and drive forward the implementation of circular principles in practice. One thing is clear: the production of the future must not only be efficient, but also sustainable and adaptable - and this is precisely where this conference comes in.
Join us in shaping the circular production of tomorrow - we look forward to your participation!
Conference Topics
| Integrated Circular Production Covers concepts and methods for enabling circular production on an industrial scale. It includes the integration of circular and linear processes as well as design strategies for circular-compatible products and systems. |
| Circular Product-Production-CoDesign Focuses on the joint development of products and production systems for circular use. It includes lifecycle-oriented planning approaches and economic comparisons between circular and linear models. |
| Adaptive Reprocessing in Circular Production Covers technologies for reprocessing and upgrading products within circular systems. It includes additive manufacturing and data-based process adjustments during reprocessing. |
| Multi-Sensory Perception for Circular Production Addresses the use of AI and sensor systems to assess product conditions and support circular workflows. It includes digital representations, sensor fusion, and human-guided learning approaches. |
| Changeable Production Systems Focuses on flexible and adaptive production systems for circular applications. It includes dynamic planning, autonomous processes, and strategies for managing uncertainty and scalability. |
