Concepts of Product-Service Configurators for Repurposing used Electric Vehicle Batteries

Monhof Markus

Zusammenfassung

The configuration of Product-Services Systems (PSSs) can be a complex task because of a large amount of possibilities and dependencies that have to be considered. PSS configurators as a class of information systems can be used to support this task. To inform the design of a PSS configurator for the domain of repurposing used Electric Vehicle Batteries, a structured literature review on existing configurators is performed to identify underlying concepts and functionality. The results are discussed regarding their applicability in the specific domain of repurposing used EVBs. Additionally, the results are used to triangulate design choices made in the development of a first prototype.
