‘Rewire’ aims to double remanufactured output, lower resource use and emissions, and build new skills.
Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) will lead a new €6.9m pan-European project to help scale high-quality remanufacturing through robotics, AI and digital twins.
Called ‘Remanufacturing with smart robotics for Wide-scale Redeployment’, or ‘Rewire’, the project is coordinated by IMR with participation from University College Dublin (UCD) and Enterprise Ireland client Dromone Engineering from Ireland, as well as 10 other institutions from eight countries across Europe.
The project’s overall budget is nearly €7.7m, with almost €7m coming from the EU under the Horizon Europe programme.
