The Role of Emerging Advanced Technologies in Facilitating the Remanufacture and Upgrade of End-of-use Electro-Mechanical and Mechanical Equipment, Tooling and Assets. How Successfully are These Emerging Advanced Technologies Contributing to the Adoption of Advanced Methods of Remanufacturing.
… limited natural resources, the application of ‘remanufacture’ is becoming an increasingly important route for end-of-life whole vehicles, assemblies, tools, or materials. We can define the term in many ways but ‘remanufacture’ can be usefully described as ‘ a process of returning a used product …

The improvement of product sustainability by the development of 'whole life' design methodologies
… and loosing the embodied energy. Although remanufacture can require a high level of reprocessing, the process can be simplified if products are designed to facilitate this. Current design models in this area, however, offer inadequate assistance to designers, leading to confusion and a lack …

Sensor-based maintenance cost estimation and residual value estimation for medical equipment recycling
… decisions about whether to repair, recycle, remanufacture, refurbish or call-back and scrap the product. The first step is to estimate the residual value of the product. The current methods depends on the owner-claimed condition of the product and the number of accessories. However, the …

Three essays on product design: incorporating capacity, remanufacturing, and environmental friendliness
… is non-remanufacturable, remanufacturable, or remanufactured. Given this, the firm maximizes its profit by determining whether or not to remanufacture and, if so, how much to remanufacture. Correspondingly, we examine the environmental consequences of these optimal remanufacturing decisions …

Cloud based sensor analysis for customer-specific residual value estimation for end-of-life product recovery
… (EOL) face a decision whether to recycle, remanufacture, repair, refurbish or scrap that product. One of the first steps is to estimate the product's residual value, primarily on the basis of age and a cursory visual inspection. However, there is a high degree of variability in actual …

Implementing Flow Processing with Product End of Life Remanufacturing
… i.e. flow processing system, should be used to remanufacture products. However when flow processing is deployed, it is found that there are a number of factors affecting the process that if not tackled, will result in poor performance and poor efficiency of the overall remanufacturing system. …
