The High-Stakes Puzzle of Electronics Remanufacturing
The High-Stakes Puzzle of Electronics Remanufacturing Electronics sit at the core of our modern systems, yet the way they are treated at the end of life remains rudimentary. In the EU, billions of tons of waste are generated every year, and the combination of labor intensity and wide variations in product condition puts real pressure […]
Smarter Decisions for a Greener Future: Intelligent Decision-Making in Sustainable Manufacturing
Smarter Decisions for a Greener Future: Intelligent Decision-Making in Sustainable Manufacturing In pursuit of sustainable manufacturing, decision-making is often touted as a cornerstone of success. Yet, the reality within many organizations reveals that decision processes remain heavily dependent on tacit expert knowledge or extensive procedural manuals. While these traditional approaches have served as a solid […]
AI and Smart Robotics for Tire Retreading: Boosting Circular Economy through Innovation
Tire Retrading: A Historical Model of Circular Economy Tire retreading is one of the earliest industrial applications of circular economy (since the early 20th century). The process extends the life of a used tire by replacing the worn tread with a new one. While the concept appears simple, the complexity arises from the many combinations […]

Smarter Vision, Greener Future: AI Robotics in Remanufacturing
Smarter Vision, Greener Future: AI Robotics in Remanufacturing Robots are expected to contribute to remanufacturing and recycling, helping us move closer to achieving ambitious sustainability goals. Yet, current robotic systems often struggle to truly understand what they see, especially when it comes to recognizing and sorting various end-of-life products, identifying defects, or analyzing material composition. […]
Remanufacturing: The Role of Digital Twins in a Circular Economy
Re-manufacturing: The Role of Digital Twins in a Circular Economy The global shift toward sustainability is driving a transition from the traditional “take-make-dispose” model to a circular economy focused on resource management, recycling, and regeneration. At the heart of this transformation is re-manufacturing, a process that restores end-of-life products to a like-new condition, extending their […]
