RECLAIM: RE-manufaCturing and Refurbishment LArge Industrial equipment
Information
About project
With more than 32 millions employees and 16% of EU GDP, industry is the main driver of innovation and growth in our continent.
Every year, machinery obsolescence causes losses in value and productivity to the detriment of companies and workers. RECLAIM aims to solve this problem with innovative circular solutions through the remanufacturing of large industrial machinery
Details
Closed project
Program: Horizon 2020 GA n. 869884
Theme: #CircularEconomy, #Industry 4.0, #Remanufactoring
Start
October 2019
End
September 2023

Project Objectives
Promote new technologies to reuse large machinery, recombine obsolete components and implement predictive maintenance in a circular economy logic.
Reduce the ageing of machinery by improving its productivity.
Define a decision making method for the reuse and remanufacturing of robotic and electromechanical systems to be validated in 5 European industrial pilot cases
Concrete actions
RECLAIM solutions aim to extend the life of machinery, while improving productivity and performance. The project will focus on leveraging digital analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) and circular economy strategies to improve predictive maintenance and upgrade existing machines responsibly and effectively.
RECLAIM will create a new decision support framework to assess the health of machinery and propose methods, tools or services for the appropriate life extension strategy.
The developed solutions will be demonstrated and refined in real industrial environments to evaluate the life cycle of industrial equipment (machines, production lines, robotic systems, etc.) and to implement recovery strategies.
