Abstract
Remanufacturing has been regarded as a key technology for the sustainable development of the world economy. However, the quality of remanufactured products is difficult to meet the needs of customers, which has become a bottleneck restricting the development of remanufacturing industry. Therefore, remanufacturing assembly management and technology has more important engineering significance to improve production efficiency and quality of remanufactured products. Aiming at the lag of the research on management and control of remanufacturing assembly, this paper summarizes the research status of remanufacturing assembly on the basis of studying the characteristics and connotation of remanufacturing assembly system. Intelligent robot of remanufacturing assembly driven by large data and intelligent manufacturing will become an important development direction in the future. The research direction of remanufacturing assembly is summarized, and the future research trend of remanufacturing assembly is pointed out. It can be predicted that the intelligent robot of remanufacturing assembly will be the key to the flexibility, intellectualization, precision, and integration of remanufacturing assembly system in the future. This study provides a direction for the development of remanufacturing industry.
