CEN/WS RECLAIM
CEN Workshop on Methodology for managing maintenance strategy and remanufacturing projects of large industrial equipment

The role of machine and plant maintenance is gradually expanding from fault repair and preventive interventions to achieving sustainable operational integrity and availability through preventive maintenance 4.0 and, at end-oflife, remanufacturing. This document defines a methodology that enables a new paradigm for the maintenance of large industrial equipment -specifically in the manufacturing sector- that approaches the end of its design life. The methodology is based on a systematic assessment of strategies comprised of one or more technical solutions (hardware, software, training, or a mix of those) related to the re-manufacturing or refurbishment of the equipment. The target group of the CWA are industrial equipment maintenance practitioners concerned with re-manufacturing or refurbishment, public authorities concerned with circular economy models for large industrial equipment, as well as research and development departments in industry and research. The work is based on the results of the RECLAIM European project (RE-manufaCturing and Refurbishment LArge Industrial equipMent). The vision of RECLAIM is to demonstrate technologies and strategies in support of a new paradigm for the management of large industrial equipment that approaches the end of its design life. This paradigm will substantially reduce the opportunity cost of retaining strategies by allowing relatively old equipment that faces the prospect of decommissioning to reclaim its functionalities and role in the overall production system. To achieve this, a methodology is proposed to use the accumulated knowledge of the health status of machinery together with innovative methods, tools or services for the systematic assessment of the most appropriate lifetime extension strategy. Finally, in the annex some concrete cases from RECLAIM project will be also showcased in this CWA in order to have a direct connection between the theoretical part of the document and its concrete possible implementation.
