Autonomous Remanufacture of Complex Products (ARCP)

再制造行业，特别是那些专注于发动机组件等复杂产品的再制造行业，正经历着生产效率的迅速下降，这导致了增长受限。这些问题是由于需要在产品设计和报废芯的损坏状态中重新制造越来越高的变化水平而产生的。ARCP项目将进行技术、操作和商业可行性研究，以确定使用自主机器人和自主操作计划系统进行复杂产品再制造的功能、操作和经济适用性，即产品到组件的拆卸、组件再制造和修复过程的操作计划以及组件到产品的重组。可行性研究将包括例如质量能力分析以及产品、过程和需求变化对ARCP过程的影响。工业研究将创建ARCP组件，以纳入可行性研究，例如，试验以确定机器人的零件设计范围。因此，ARCP将满足提高再制造效率和灵活性的行业需求，并为工业再制造合作伙伴开辟国内和国际市场机会。

The remanufacturing sector, particular those who focus on complex products such as engine assemblies, are experiencing rapid reductions in production efficiency, that leads to restricted growth. These issues are arising through the need to remanufacture increasingly higher levels of variation in product designs and damage states of end-of-life cores. The ARCP project will undertake technical, operational and commercial feasibility studies to identify the functional, operational and economic suitability of using autonomous robots and autonomous operations planning systems to undertake the remanufacturing of complex products, i.e. product-to-component disassembly, operations planning of component remanufacturing & reconditioning processes and component-to-product reassembly. Feasibility studies will include for example quality capability analyses and the effects of product, process & demand variability on ARCP processes. Industrial research will create ARCP components for inclusion in feasibiity studies, e.g. trials to identify the part design ranges of robots. ARCP will, therefore, meet an industry need for improved remanufacturing efficiency and flexibility and open up both national and international market opportunities for the industrial remanufacturing partners.
