Software application for optimizing raw material costs, including materials recovered from batteries and accumulators

In this article we aim to create a software application aimed at highlighting the importance of the technical and economic estimate in making the bushings. This software was created as a web platform, available at: https://www.bucsa-sim.com, in order to maximize the accessibility, speed and efficiency of the complex process that underlies the construction of parts, in our case, bushings. The idea of developing this software started from the necessity generated by the fact that currently there is only one website on the Romanian market available at: https://bucsebronz.ro/calculator-piese/, which does not allow users to calculate the technical-economic estimate in real time, but only to send a simple form to the company. The use of this application is part of the new concept of Industrialization 4.0 because it allows operation in the cloud with immediate access to the display of the price of a bushing made of elements recovered from waste. Taking into consideration that materials such as copper and lead can come from recycling of batteries and accumulators, this application contributes to a better integration of the processing of these materials in the priciples or the circular economy.
