Abstract

Advanced optimization models are required for the disassembly of complex products. There are stochastic variables in sequence planning, and real-time and data-driven approaches play an essential role in this context. In the case of aircraft at their end of life, the specifications and requirements of airworthiness should be followed. Hence, a collaborative and dynamic disassembly operation is required. Industry 4.0 is a promising paradigm for dealing with the uncertainties of value extracted from recovered parts and materials and the sustainability of the disassembly operation. Aviation 4.0 with its enabling technologies provides new tools and methods for addressing the challenges of the sustainability and efficiency of aircraft during the entire lifecycle. Advanced 3D simulation environment aids researchers and operators in testing and analyzing recovery options and working on different scenarios before performing a real operation. This chapter proposes a system architecture based on augmented reality and fuzzy intelligent decision-making for the disassembly of complex products. The application perspective for aircraft parts is discussed.
