Aspects regarding the capitalization of remanufactured scrap in the automotive industry using a Paternoster system

Abstract

Among the current challenges of the global automotive industry include changes in global markets that lead to a variety of products, regulation that drives pressure on new technologies and competition from new competitors. This paper attempts to find answers to the question, how can we capitalize the semi-finished parts of the automotive industry that have emerged from the parameters demanded/imposed by the final customer or which have some visual/design defects, but which retain their functional role. In almost all cases, information and communication technology plays a major role in future strategies to meet the challenges mentioned above, which can stimulate the production process more efficient by using intelligent manufacturing approaches. Thus, this paper proposes to automate and maximize the capitalization of these parts, a Paternoster system for eliminating the logistics/storage space, reducing the handling time, increasing the efficiency and traceability of the scrap.
