POLIMI’s activities within the FENIX project are focusing on a semi-automated PCB disassembly process implemented at the Industry 4.0 Lab, aiming to demonstrate in practice benefits of exploiting I4.0 technologies (e.g. collaborative robots – cobots) in circular contexts (e.g. WEEE management). The disassembly of PCBs is a key process withn […]

Fenix project is developing a unique process for reintroducing recycled precious metals from waste electronics back to the circular economy in the form of highly personalised and customised jewellery. The process involves the following steps: A Specialised 3D scanning hardware and software with accurate face scanning capability is installed in […]

Circular business models and industrial strategies suggested in FENIX will be verified in practice through the exploitation of different existing plants, satisfactory reconfigured and integrated basing on circular needs considered during the project. CIM-UPC is involved at the end of the value chain by developing a 3D printer capable to […]
