Data-Driven Luminaire Remanufacture Supplychain

EGG Lighting和Reath正在研究一种灯具数据管理系统，以加速和降低行业向“再制造而不是替代”过渡的风险。该系统将为每盏灯保留一个“数字孪生体”，为任何经批准的再制造商提供必要的信息。这种数字技术将使英国照明行业能够重新制造和升级高质量的灯具，而不是回收旧灯并进口更多的新灯——到2025年，每年可节省60吨废物。有了Reath的资产数据管理系统，灯具再制造可以安全、合规，比购买新灯具便宜30-40%，对环境的破坏减少50%。当企业希望通过循环经济实践来降低资本和能源成本以及对环境的影响时，这个项目将迫切地克服在英国照明行业采用的障碍。该方法将使经批准的再制造商能够轻松地与以前和未来的用户、供应商和零售商共享数据；降低再制造的风险，简化再制造流程，增强企业采用循环经济商业模式的信心。再制造是循环经济中最好的技术，可以将灯具恢复到新的状态或更好的状态-并提供保修和保证。到2025年，这种方法将创造至少15个全职工作岗位，并从这种被低估的废物流中产生收入，同时为更多企业提供负担得起的、可持续的高质量照明。数据驱动的再制造不仅可以减少浪费和节约成本，还可以通过在当地经济中保留价值来加强国内供应链。这鼓励了高品质灯具的发展；这是英国工业擅长的，但经常被更便宜的进口产品所取代。在气候变化和2019冠状病毒病大流行的背景下，我们比以往任何时候都更重要的是寻求创新的可持续性和节省成本的解决方案，使我们的供应链更智能、更有弹性、更少浪费。本研究旨在衡量拟议的数字技术的价值及其缓解再制造供应链将在规模上遇到的技术、经济、物流和合规挑战的能力，以及定义开发市场和实施该系统所需的资源。

EGG Lighting and Reath are investigating a luminaire data management system to accelerate and de-risk the industry's transition to "remanufacture not replace". This system will keep a "digital twin" for every light, providing any approved remanufacturer the necessary information on-demand. This digital technology will enable the UK lighting industry to remanufacture and upgrade good-quality luminaires instead of recycling used lights and importing more new ones -- saving 60 tonnes of waste per year by 2025\.With Reath's asset data management system, luminaire remanufacture can be safe, compliant, 30-40% cheaper and 50% less environmentally damaging than buying new lights. At a time when businesses are looking to reduce capital and energy costs as well as environmental impact through circular economy practices, this project will urgently overcome the barriers to adoption across the UK lighting industry. The approach will enable approved remanufacturers to easily share data with previous and future users, suppliers and retailers; de-risking and streamlining the remanufacture process and strengthening their confidence in adopting circular economy business models.Remanufacturing is the best available technique in the circular economy and restores luminaires to new condition or better - with a warranty and guarantee to match. This approach will create at least 15 full-time jobs by 2025 and generate revenue from this undervalued waste stream -- simultaneously giving more businesses access to affordable, sustainable and high-quality lighting.As well as reducing waste and saving costs, data-driven remanufacture strengthens the domestic supply chain by retaining value in the local economy. This encourages a move towards high-quality luminaires; which the UK industry excels at but are often substituted by cheaper imported products. With climate change and the covid-19 pandemic, it's more important than ever that we look for innovative sustainability and cost-saving solutions to make our supply chains smarter, more resilient and less wasteful.This study aims to measure the value of the proposed digital technique and its ability to mitigate the technical, economic, logistic and compliance challenges the remanufacturing supply chain will encounter at scale, as well as defining the resources required to develop to market and implement this system.
