“…When combining the usage information with a value estimate, it becomes possible to calculate a residual value of each part and make an even more ne-grained decision of what is the most appropriate action to take for each part. Such possibilities could enable new recycling and refurbishing business opportunities as in the automotive industry [43] or for heavy machinery as identied by Caterpillar [20].…”

This paper presents an overview of the eld of Intelligent Products. As Intelligent Products have many facets, this paper is mainly focused on the concept behind Intelligent Products, the technical foundations, and the achievable practical goals of Intelligent Products. A novel classication of Intelligent Products is introduced, which distinguishes between three orthogonal dimensions. Furthermore, the technical foundations in the areas of automatic identication and embedded processing, distributed information storage and processing, and agent-based systems are discussed, as well as the achievable practical goals in the contexts of manufacturing, supply chains, asset management, and product life cycle management.

“…As illustrated in Figure 2 above, a new state of the art may be defined by establishing an advanced recycling model called Controlled Closed Loop Recycling (CCLR) geared towards 100% material recovery and remanufacturing of automotive polymer parts replacing material of currently non-recyclable parts with polyethylene (PET) or polypropylene (PP) (Kahn, et al 2006).…”

Sustainability is a key issue for companies offering products and services on the global market. The ever-increasing worldwide demand for raw materials in combination with the rising costs for materials and energy challenges companies to make their products, processes and services more sustainable. More and more customers are demanding sustainable products and services due to their increased awareness about environmental protection. By providing access to data, information and knowledge about products and services the concept of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) can be applied to reverse logistics processes to improve sustainability. The term PLM and therefore the functionality of existing PLM systems must be considered as quite different. The paper introduces the concept of item-level Product Lifecycle Management. It investigates the requirements that item-level PLM systems must fulfill in order to support sustainability in reverse logistics processes in an appropriate manner. Existing item-level PLM solutions are then investigated according their suitability in the field of reverse logistics.

“…Accordingly, many reported RFID implementation cases have been in this form [16,17]. Foster et al [1] suggested a system architecture for an automotive OEM and suppliers to monitor stillages in real-time bases by attaching active RFID tags on high valued stillages for the seamless part supply.…”

Abstract:Serialized tracing provides the ability to track and trace the lifecycle of the products and parts. Unlike barcodes, Radio frequency identification (RFID), which is an important building block for internet of things (IoT), does not require a line of sight and has the advantages of recognizing many objects simultaneously and rapidly, and storing more information than barcodes. Therefore, RFID has been used in a variety of application domains such as logistics, distributions, and manufacturing, significantly improving traceability and process efficiency. In this study, we applied RFID to improve the just-in-sequence operation of an automotive inbound logistics process. First, we implemented an RFID-based visibility system for real-time traceability and control of part supply from the production lines of suppliers to the assembly line of a car manufacturer. Second, we developed an RFID-based sequence-error proofing system to avoid accidental line stops due to incorrect part sequencing. The whole system has been successfully installed in a rear-axle inbound logistics process of GM Korea. We achieved a significant amount of cost savings, especially due to the prevention of sequencing errors and part shortages, and the reduction of manual operations. Thorough cost-benefit analysis demonstrates the clear economic feasibility of using RFID technologies for the just-in-sequence inbound logistics in an automobile manufacturing environment.
