Survey for machine / equipment / tools manufacturers & service providers: Impact of Remanufacturing/Refurbishment in the Sector
Help us understand if and how you perform remanufacturing/refurbishment!
RECLAIM – RE-manufaCturing and Refurbishment LArge Industrial equipment (EU H2020) – is conducting a survey with machine / equipment / tools manufacturers and service providers to analyse the elements of greatest relevance in remanufacturing/refurbishment strategies for companies of the electromechanical sector.
Take a few minutes to fill in our questionnaire here.
The collected data will be aggregated and used for a public report on how to support RECLAIM strategies for refurbishment and remanufacturing that enable the reuse of industrial equipment in old, renewed and new factories alike, addressing also themes such as valuable materials and the interaction with services and after sales functions.
Should you have any questions, or wish a digital copy of the public report once available, do not hesitate to contact Lucrezia Quarato, Project Manager at RECLAIM project partner SCM group.
Thanks a lot in advance for your support!
Remanufacturing or second-life production implies using parts of discarded products in a new product with the same function. Remanufactured products guarantee the same quality like original products, as they are brought at least to original equipment manufacturer performance specification.
Refurbishment means restoring an old product and bringing it up to date, in order to maintain reliability or extend service life. In general, refurbished products are upgraded and brought back to specified quality standards or satisfactory working and/or cosmetic conditions and have to fulfil extensive testing. Occasionally, refurbishment is combined with technology upgrading by replacing outdated modules and parts with technologically superior ones.
