As part of the CIRC-UITS project, the Polimi’s team develops innovative technologies in the field of electronic components at the Manufacturing Group – PoliMi School of Management Industry 4.0 Lab.
✨ Let’s take a closer look at the main activities currently underway:
🔍 AI-Based Identification
🤖 An AIpowered solution has been implemented to identify integrated circuits on electronic boards, addressing the challenges of these complex and costly components.
🔧 Quality Control for Flexible Boards
Quality control activities are being conducted on the next generation of flexible electronic boards to verify the presence of components after manual disassembly, supporting fully automated repair processes.
♻️ Automation of Non-Destructive Disassembly
🔄 Research is also underway to automate the non-destructive disassembly of electronic components from PCBs, with the goal of enabling their reuse. This process aims to autonomously replicate what is currently performed exclusively by highly specialized labor.
🚀 These efforts contribute to advancing technology while promoting a more sustainable and circular electronics industry.
