Abstract |
Remanufacturing has emerged as a pivotal practice in the pursuit of sustainable manufacturing but it is facing challenges, including decision complexity, ergonomic concerns, and assembly and disassembly plan efficiency. This paper introduces a framework for advancing remanufacturing processes emphasizing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) concepts with special focus on Virtual Reality (VR) as exemplified by three applications. The first one leverages an armband motion sensor for intuitive programming of a robot, demonstrating potential enhancements in programming robotic tasks involved. The second one introduces VR for automated ergonomic assessment in remanufacturing tasks involving the human, using standard protocols. The third one explores VR-based evaluation and guidance of collaborative assembly plans by human and robot. |
