Due to the worldwide efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, the European Union has decided to introduce CO2 emission standards for passenger cars from 2020. The obvious way to reduce CO2 emissions from cars seems to be purchsing an electric car, which usually is referred to as BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) or PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle).

To master a product segment completely today requires the coverage of all customer requirements. Companies therefore react to this with a high variance in the products they offer. This increases the complexity in almost all areas – from data handling to production, storage and distribution.

For light metal castings with demanding geometries such as cylinder heads, despite the major challenges posed by the upstream cleaning process, remanufacturing is a promising segment from both an economic and an ecological point of view with enormous growth potential.
Read moreFor decades, parts remanufacturing has been a lucrative business for many OEMs and is enjoying ever greater acceptance and demand/popularity among end customers. A distinction must be made between classic reuse, where components are cleaned, measured and put back into circulation, and remanufacturing, where components are disassembled, measured, mechanically processed and re-assembled.
Read moreIn order to reproduce or remanufacture complex components, technical component drawings with dimensions, tolerance and surface treatment data are required. This is often not the case if the manufacturer buys the components from third parties – the so-called “black box”.
Read moreThe concept of remanufacturing seems to be lucrative in the automotive spare parts sector, especially for large series production quantities. However, prior to any component project, an economic and technical examination is advisable in order to avoid high process and manufacturing costs for remanufacturing in series.

At the end of the assembly of a vehicle in an automotive plant, the vehicle undergoes both a leak test with water applied to the bodywork under high pressure and a washing system for final cleaning before being prepared for transport to the end customer.
Read moreFor vehicles with purely electric drive, it is generally assumed that the initial filling with operating media is easier than for derivatives with internal combustion engines – among other things, there is no need to fill up with fuel. But the opposite is true. The integration of an electric vehicle into an existing production line also poses a particular challenge for media filling.
Read moreIn order to satisfy customer demand for low-cost spare parts with a manufacturer’s warranty, automobile manufacturers have been remanufacturing certain vehicle components for years. Such reuse of used parts, however, cannot be validated from a series point of view.
