Abstract

Remanufacturing, as a way to achieve the circular economy paradigm, can help save the environment by reducing the use of raw materials and energy, cutting greenhouse gas emissions and virtually eliminating the need for landfill. Disassembly is a critical first step in the remanufacturing process. This research uses the Bees Algorithm to optimise robotic disassembly sequence planning. Three sustainability strategies are addressed in the proposed model-based system for robotic disassembly planning: reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling. The results of two case studies based on end-of-life industrial gear pumps demonstrate that the Bees Algorithm can find the best solution for robotic disassembly sequence planning.
