rEUman aims at developing and demonstrating a novel paradigm of human-centric remanufacturing approach for the European industry, acting at value-chain and factory levels, that is:

- Intrinsically human-safe: able to reduce human risks and increase workers’ satisfaction and efficiency along the entire remanufacturing process-chain through human-centric technologies and decision support digital tools;

- Target-driven: able to produce remanufactured products at high regeneration rates, meeting certified product function retain or upgrade specifications;

- Flexible: able to adapt to variable input post-use product conditions;

- Robust and replicable: applicable to a wide variety of business sectors, at different levels of reman maturity;

by encompassing innovative digitally-enhanced automated technologies compounded by the implementation of Digital Product Passport and the related data-model and digital services.

The Politecnico di Milano is coordinator of the project. Two Departments are involved: The Department of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering collaborating in the project.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering takes on the coordination of the planned work and the Department of Management Engineering will give its specific technical and scientific input.
