Mobile Agent architecture for intelligent Product to increase the effectiveness in End of Life Management

Abstract

Sweep the entire product lifecycle information from design to recycling is the great challenge to overcome in manufacturing worldwide. Actually, managing product after-sales information is a key to innovation and launching new products that meet the customers' expectations. To address this objective, the current study proposes architecture for closing the product lifecycle information by using the emerging technologies (PEID) and Mobile Agent software. In this paper we focus on the End of Life (EOL), especially the after-sales stage. To this end, the proposed architecture aims enable product knowledge management (PKM) by gathering and analyzing product-related information after-sales and with the feedback to the previous phases for help actors to decision making process. Furthermore, we aim to enable the product data and knowledge management (PDKM). The proposed architecture uses the advent of hardware and software related to product identification technologies and multi-agent systems (MAS).

Designing Sustainable Recovery Network of End‐of‐Life Product during the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Real and Applied Case Study

“…Constraint (8) shows the total number of returned product units shipped from a collection center to any recovery and repair center via any shipping options must be less than or equal to the collection center's capacity. Constraint (9) presents the total number of the returned product and infectious/noninfectious waste units shipped from a collection center to any recycling center via any shipping options must be less than or equal to the collection center's capacity. Constraint (10) describes the total number of the returned product and infectious/noninfectious waste units shipped from a collection center to any disposal center via any shipping options must be less than or equal to the collection center's capacity.…”

“…The product life cycle (LC) consists of three steps. The last step is end of life (EOL): collecting/remanufacturing/reuse/recycle/disposal [9]. COVID-19 virus life spans on different surfaces are shown in Figure 1.…”
