“…This is mainly due to the lack of information about the products' usage condition, which results in uncertainty of quality of EoL products. Therefore, complementary to disassembly, monitoring and quality verification techniques are required to determine the usage condition of products and components [22,66,73]. Proper planning is useful to determine when to stop the disassembly process, known as the disassembly depth.…”

“…The Fuji single-use camera case (Case 6, in Section 2), is a good illustration of a business model in which a product architecture is optimised for take back, systematic disassembly and remanufacturing. More pragmatic research contributions start from the assumption that products in a worldwide economy cannot be influenced, but should be treated as received in well-automated facilities [63,66]. Clear distinction should be made between these two extreme situations when targeting efficiency optimisation of disassembly activities.…”

“…It was found that a wide range of products, from consumer goods, e.g. household appliances to mobile phones, from TFT flatscreen monitors, to investment good components like engines, could be disassembled with minor set-up changes [66,70]. The level of automation, which is categorized as hybrid disassembly, is briefly described hereafter.…”

“…The factors affecting process design for remanufacturing found in literature and considered for this study include tooling and equipment [34], employee skills, [1,40], facility planning [11], capacity management [11], and cores' volume [43]. These factors are interrelated and adoption of a particular factor may drive companies to implement particular practices.…”

This research uses a strategic approach to examine how product, process and organisational designs affect disassembly strategies for different remanufacturer types. Three companies consisting of two automotive and one jet engine remanufacturer were selected as subjects. A case study approach using qualitative data was adopted to examine how remanufacturers design their disassembly strategies. The analysis revealed that the two major factors influencing disassembly strategies are product complexity and the stability of core supply. It also determined and grouped the factors that affect disassembly within remanufacturing.

“…To lower the human interaction during the disassembly process and the related costs, prior research focused on semi or full automation of standard disassembly operations for, among others, washing machines [14], personal computers [15], LCD monitors [16], mobile phones [17,18], and remote controls [19]. However, to date, only a limited number of cases have been documented in which automated disassembly has been implemented in a robust and industrially viable fashion, such as the remanufacturing of single-use cameras [20].…”

This paper presents a number of novel active fasteners developed to significantly lower disassembly costs during reconditioning, remanufacturing, and recycling of products. In the initial stage of the fastener development process, the applicability of distinct trigger signals for active disassembly (AD) is evaluated. Based on this evaluation, the high robustness of using a pressure increase or decrease as a nondestructive trigger for AD is demonstrated. Since previously proposed pressure-sensitive fasteners face considerable drawbacks upon implementation in electronic products due to the ongoing trend of miniaturization, a second generation of pressure-based active fasteners is developed. Evaluation of these fasteners by means of axiomatic design techniques and prototyping demonstrates that the presented snap-fits, which make use of a closed-cell elastomer foam, are most robust. Subsequently, the contraction forces that closed-celled foams can exert as a function of an increase in ambient air pressure are experimentally determined. Furthermore, the implementation of pressure-sensitive foam-based snap-fits in both a modem and a payment terminal is described. Results of these experiments demonstrate that the contraction force of a cross-linked metallocene polyethylene closed-cell foams can reach up to 6 N/cm 2 at an overpressure of 2 bar and that the foam-based snap-fits can be released at a pressure increase of 2 bar.
