Study on Flexible Remanufacturing System and Framework

Remanufacturing is an ideal form of recycling because it recaptures some of the costs of labor, energy, and manufacturing in addition to the cost of materials. However, Current products that present some characteristic, such as small batch, individuation, multispecies and timeliness, bring some challenge to traditional remanufacturing production. Develop flexible remanufacturing system is an important methods and approaches to adapt the development of remanufacturing. This paper describes the definition of flexible remanufacturing characteristics, discusses the remanufacturing system, analyzed the remanufacturing system modules and the key technology, and gives a preliminary application case.
