In the beginning of the paper, the related works on key aspects of refurbishment and remanufacturing in the manufacturing environment are presented along with the ambition and solutions proposed by the project. The usefulness of the integrated technological solution RECLAIM was analysed to prove that having RECLAIM technology available drastically increased efficiency, enhanced lifetime extension, and achieved high economic benefit and a significant step toward 100% reuse will be made.
The rest of the article is organised as follows. In section 2, the related work regarding key aspects that the RECLAIM project will face along with the proposed solutions dealing with these problems is analysed, whereas the conceptual architecture is presented in section 3. In section 4, the main components of the architecture are described in full, and,finally, in section 5, conclusions are drawn.
