Product Recycling

The planning and control of recycling and disassembly processes depends to a great extent on information about the product and its usage. A substantial amount of information about products is provided on delivery, but a continuous and systematic recording of information during a product life is normally not carried out. Repairs, disassembly and product recycling are however dependent on decentralised and information-intensive processes and can only be facilitated through the recording of life-cycle information. All information which is generated during the product life is first integrated into a newly created information model for life-cycle documentation. The paper presents a new integrated approach that guarantees consistent data storage and data structuring during the entire product life. An innovative information system is introduced which can provide any required information to all product user groups at any point in the product life. One module of this model is the electronic life-cycle memory for data storage on the product itself of the life-cycle documentation. It is done using Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) for the first time in this field. Subsequently, the integration of the life-cycle memory into the entire information system is described. The paper closes with a practical case from industry.

This chapter describes how models for software development and service delivery can be integrated into a common approach to reach an integrated product life cycle for software. The models covered by this chapter are the capability maturity model integration (CMMI), SPICE (software process improvement and capability determination, ISO 15504) and ISO 20000 (service management). Whilst the CMMI constellation approach delivers an integration perspective defined in three models (development, acquisition and services), SPICE and ISO 20000 need additional alignment to be usable in an integrated approach.

Ict Infrastructure

A novel Internet-based information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure for an eco-accounting system was successfully developed to deliver “EcoCosts”, which are the values of environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. The ICT infrastructure manages its internal elements and interacts with operation modules in the supply chain via Web-based service interfaces. The infrastructure consists of upperware, middleware, and resource layers. The upperware layer manipulates the middleware elements (cloud-based load balancing, life cycle assessment, Web-based services, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-enabled mobile access), and manages the associated resources within the eco-accounting system. As novel features of the ICT infrastructure, load balancing is used to handle large numbers of data and to allocate the computing load across the eco-accounting network nodes, and life cycle assessment is conducted to analyse product footprints, which are the core of “EcoCost”, to facilitate consumers in comparing the environmental impacts between different products. A case study was conducted by transmitting product EcoCosts from businesses to consumers through the Internet, successfully verifying the system developed in this research. Because this research aims to pay more attention to the ICT aspects, the EcoCost is represented using a single value, hence simplifying the related calculation. This research provides a novel solution for dealing with the large numbers of data and computing loads required to manage EcoCost data throughout the product life cycle and to transmit EcoCosts from businesses to consumers.

Frequency Identification

Product life cycle management (PLM) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) when properly amalgamated aids product development throughout the lifecycle of the product design and narrows the gap between OEM (design team) and customer by providing real-time information about product failures thereby increasing product lifecycle. Therefore, this paper enhances the pros and cons of RFID in PLM as a co-generation tool and the benefits of using RFID in assembling critical components are elucidated. The PLM-RFID solution embraces a demand-focused supply chain representation by integrating suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to share product movement data and feeds valuable inputs for new product development. To illustrate the benefits of PLM-RFID amalgamation in enterprise application we have developed middleware to facilitate data communication between RFID readers and PLM databases.
