AbstractRemanufacturing restores worn or damaged products to like-new performance, extending the life of high-value assets while reducing dependency on costly replacements and lowering supply chain vulnerability. Many repairs still depend on technician judgment that is difficult to document and is increasingly at risk as experienced workers retire faster than replacements can be trained. Although robots offer the potential to alleviate workforce shortages, today’s programmed automation is largely limite
