“ReLIFE”: Business Models for Data-Based Remanufacturing

Adaptive Remanufacturing for Life Cycle Optimisation of Networked Capital Goods

  • First Online:
The Monetization of Technical Data

Abstract

In view of the aggravated resource scarcity and the increasing environmental awareness, an extension of the life cycle of capital goods enables considerable ecological and economic potentials for the improvement of resource efficiency and productivity. In order to achieve these potentials, the innovative approach of adaptive remanufacturing is being developed. Adaptive Remanufacturing describes a proactive, intelligent maintenance strategy that, based on technical, ecological and economic aspects, decides about the optimum time and extent of maintenance and remanufacturing measures. Through Adaptive Remanufacturing, manufacturers can gain valuable data about their capital goods, which can be monetized at the same time by means of a suitable product-service system. This article describes a procedure by means of which the performance level of capital goods is maintained by means of Adaptive Remanufacturing, the life cycle is thus extended and, ultimately, new business models arise.
