Remanufacturing and Refurbishment of Large Industrial Equipment

The RECLAIM project contributes to unleashing the full potential of sustainable, green and smart factories, by empowering the industry to produce components and assembly systems at fast changing environment. RECLAIM focuses on 100% re-use of equipment through flexible and low-cost systems that support the fast and easy process of refurbishment and re-manufacturing. This perspective will develop self-aware and knowledge-based equipment for the collection and management of operation-related information. The RECLAIM solutions will be demonstrated in real industrial environments to evaluate the lifecycle of the industrial equipment (machines, production lines, robotic system etc.) and to implement the appropriate recovery strategies (refurbishment, re-manufacturing, upgrade, re-use, repair, etc.).
