Remanufacturing of Cartesian Industrial Robots
Challenges
- Manual and time-consuming processes.
- High ergonomic risks due to handling of heavy parts.
- Reliance on experienced technicians for decisions.
Remanufacturing Business Model
- The RENÉE project will enhance the remanufacturing process for industrial robots, enabling a more efficient and automated approach. This includes automated cleaning and disassembly, tracking component status, and implementing a rental model for remanufactured robots, providing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to new purchases.
RENÉE Technology Advancements
- Implementation of collaborative workstation for cleaning and disassembly processes.
- Creation of a digital twin for the remanufacturing cell to assist operators and optimize the process.
Impact
Reduction in manual labor and physical strain on operators.
Increased number of remanufactured robots per year.
Enhanced traceability and reuse of components.
