In order to process the growing quantities of used electronics, efficient demanufacturing methods are needed. The industry utilizes manual methods for dismantling products. A demanufacturing projector-vision system is proposed to create a more efficient demanufacturing work cell that combines manual and automated processing methods. To facilitate the demanufacturing process, the projection-vision system identifies the used products, displays real time product dispositions to the operator, displays tailored work instructions for the operator, and identifies the product surface for robotic processing. A prototype of the work cell was implemented. The system facilitates proper processing of used goods to meet current product or material demand. The projector-vision-based system was integrated into an existing modeling framework for robotic processing. The application of projector-vision technology improves the accuracy of recovered material databases, improves the integrity of used material streams, and helps maintain accurate demanufacturing process plan information.
