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 […]
