RECLAIM is organising a special session as part of the 26th International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation.
Competitive manufacturing companies continuously increase the effectiveness and efficiency of their production processes and equipment. Refurbishment and re-manufacturing are activities of the circular economy model with purpose to retain the value of products and materials, thus instrumental to extend the useful life of assets and reduce the wasteful use of resources. These two activities, along with health status monitoring, constitute key elements for the re-use and extension of the useful life of industrial equipment.
The special session aims at discussing strategies to achieve this objective by focusing on the technological enablers supporting value retention throughout the industrial equipment lifecycle.
