Adaptive disassembly sequence control by using product and system information

This contribution will introduce a conception for a product-driven control sequence generation by using information derived from a product accompanying information system, called Life Cycle Unit. The algorithm being developed for the sequence generation takes into account the availability and technological feasibility of disassembly processes, the actual disassembly system condition, and the actual disassembly step of a product. In order to verify the functionality of the developed algorithm for sequence generation an emulation environment is introduced. An actually existing hybrid disassembly system for home appliances serves as an example for the control sequence generation.
