“…In a more contemporary work, Darghouth et al (2017) focused on the requirements of OEM perspectives for an effective remanufacturing process. Finally, the usefulness of the remanufacturing process was identified in many research works that were devoted either to machine tools ( Ullah et al (2016) ) or to a special kind of production machines ( Geng et al (2016) ).…”

Refurbishment and remanufacturing are the industrial processes whereby used products or parts that constitute the product are restored. Remanufacturing is the process of restoring the functionality of the product or a part of it to “as-new” quality, whereas refurbishment is the process of restoring the product itself or part of it to “like-new” quality, without being as thorough as remanufacturing. Within this context, the EU-funded project RECLAIM presents a new idea on refurbishment and remanufacturing based on big data analytics, machine learning, predictive analytics, and optimization models using deep learning techniques and digital twin models with the aim of enabling the stakeholders to make informed decisions about whether to remanufacture, upgrade, or repair heavy machinery that is toward its end-of-life. The RECLAIM project additionally provides novel strategies and technologies that enable the reuse of industrial equipment in old, renewed, and new factories, with the goal of saving valuable resources by recycling equipment and using them in a different application, instead of discarding them after use. For instance, RECLAIM provides a simulation engine using digital twin in order to predict maintenance needs and potential faults of large industrial equipment. This simulation engine keeps the virtual twins available to store all available information during the lifetime of a machine, such as maintenance operations, and this information can be used to perform an economic estimation of the machine's refurbishment costs. The RECLAIM project envisages developing new technologies and strategies aligned with the circular economy and in support of a new model for the management of large industrial equipment that approaches the end of its design life. This model aims to reduce substantially the opportunity cost of retaining strategies (both moneywise and resourcewise) by allowing relatively old equipment that faces the prospect of decommissioning to reclaim its functionalities and role in the overall production system.

“…From 1930s to 1940s, American automobile manufacturing industry took the lead in remanufacturing practice. After nearly 80 years of development, the developed countries in Europe and America, represented by the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Japan, have established a remanufacturing industry system covering many units, such as waste product recycling and disassembly detection, remanufacturing production control, remanufacturing technology research development and remanufacturing product marketing [1]. The remanufactured products cover many fields, such as aerospace, heavy off-road equipment, automotive parts, locomotives, information technology products, electrical equipment, medical equipment and office appliances.…”

Grinding is the last and most important process of parts processing, the purpose is to achieve high precision and surface roughness. Therefore, grinding machine has the characteristics of high added value, high technology content and great remanufacturing value. However, the evaluation of machine tool remanufacturing is based on imprecise and fuzzy information at present. The aim of this study is to present the remanufacturing evaluation for feasibility and comprehensive benefit of retired grinder. Firstly, according to the unique structure of grinder, the feasibility evaluation model of grinder remanufacturing is established, including technical feasibility criterion, economic feasibility criterion and resource environment feasibility criterion. Secondly, the comprehensive benefit evaluation model of remanufacturing grinder is established, in which the weight of each evaluation criterion is determined by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Finally, combined with the remanufacturing case of the cylindrical grinder, the evaluation method is verified and analyzed. The results show that the remanufacturing of the waste grinding machine through the feasibility evaluation can obtain better comprehensive benefits, and the remanufacturer can get considerable benefits and reduce the potential risks in the remanufacturing process.

“…In the machinery industry, a large number of studies have addressed various problems encountered in remanufacturing mainly from the OEM's perspectives (Darghouth et al, 2017;Du and Li, 2014;Ferguson et al, 2009). Many of these studies were devoted to machine tools (Ullah et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2014a;Darabȃ, 2014;Yaoling, 2012;Du et al, 2012); some authors exposed remanufacturing only for a special kind of production machines (Geng et al, 2016;Yang, 2014;Yan, 2013;Hayashi et al, 2013;Yiqing et al, 2006). It is worth noting that the potential benefits of remanufacturing certainly depend on customer requirements.…”
