Abstract: Manufacturing is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and there is an urgent need to reduce the energy consumption of production processes. An important step towards this goal is proactively estimating ...

Abstract: The rapid rise in technologies for data collection has created an unmatched opportunity to advance the use of data-rich tools for lifecycle decision-making. However, the usefulness of these technologies is limited by the ...

Abstract: Although the single point interchange (SPI) has been around for approximately

Abstract: The Danish government has outlined a target of recycling 50% of total household waste by the year 2022 and transitioning to a circular economy in the future. Improving household waste sorting is an important consideration ...

Abstract: To understand the past successes and future opportunities for applying Industry 4.0 technologies toward manufacturing sustainability assessment, this state-of-the-art review examines previous literature at the intersection ...

Abstract: A large portion of design activity involves applying previous design knowledge in order to solve new problems. Therefore, facilitating ecoconscious exploration of archived designs is needed for advancing sustainable product ...

Abstract: This paper describes a framework for applying design for environment (DfE) within an industry setting. Our aim is to couple implicit design knowledge such as redesign/process constraints with quantitative measures of ...

Abstract: The issue of environmental sustainability, which is unprecedented in both magnitude and complexity, presents one of the biggest challenges faced by modern society. Design engineers can make ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel visualization framework for product and supply chain metadata in the context of redesignrelated decision scenarios. Our framework is based on the idea of overlaying productrelated metadata ...

Abstract: Design for environment (DfE) principles are helpful for integrating manufacturing-specific environmental sustainability considerations into product and process design. However, such principles are often overly general, ...
