Remanufacturing/Refurbishment with RFID-Generated Item-Level Information

چکیده
As an integral component of sustainable manufacturing, recycling and remanufacturing have been gaining popularity in line with Green initiatives. While the importance of item-level information their success has been stressed, the potential of RFID technology in recycling/remanufacturing has not received much attention in the research literature. We attempt to address this gap by considering RFID tags and their applications from a recycling/remanufacturing perspective and propose a knowledge-based framework to assist such process based on RFID-generated item-level information. Specifically, we consider quality improvement issues related to repair and refurbishment as well as end-of-life recycling issues from the perspective of item-level information generated through RFID tags.

One of the challenges of this decade is to rationalize the consumption of global resources while increasing economic activity. Remanufacturing is an option to this challenge; however this end of life strategy must be optimized. The information collected from a franking machine manufacturer, which has set up a refurbishment activity of its machines, has allowed us to qualify remanufacturing as a...
متن کاملAn RFID application in large job shop remanufacturing operations
In this study, we evaluate the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for improving remanufacturing efficiency. We report the results of discrete-event simulation model that analyzes how RFID creates value within the remanufacturing operation. We find that the simulated gains from using RFID are quite modest, and propose alternative justifications for the major benefits seen in...
