Remanufacturing, a process that revitalises end-of-life products, is a key component of a circular economy offering substantial environmental and economic benefits. This paper introduces the concept of smart remanufacturing, which leverages Industry 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twins to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of remanufacturing processes. Recent research at the University of Birmingham, conducted as part of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council-funded AutoReman project, is reviewed. AutoReman promotes robotic disassembly as a key enabler of smart remanufacturing, focusing on understanding disassembly science, developing effective robotic disassembly strategies, and creating robotic disassembly cells for both fully autonomous and collaborative human–robot disassembly. Overall, this paper underscores the potential of smart remanufacturing to contribute to a more sustainable future.

摘要

Remanufacturing, a process that revitalises end-of-life products, is a key component of a circular economy offering substantial environmental and economic benefits. This paper introduces the concept of smart remanufacturing, which leverages Industry 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twins to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of remanufacturing processes. Recent research at the University of Birmingham, conducted as part of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council-funded AutoReman project, is reviewed. AutoReman promotes robotic disassembly as a key enabler of smart remanufacturing, focusing on understanding disassembly science, developing effective robotic disassembly strategies, and creating robotic disassembly cells for both fully autonomous and collaborative human–robot disassembly. Overall, this paper underscores the potential of smart remanufacturing to contribute to a more sustainable future.
