Abstract
This study explores the applicability of circular economy protocols (CEP) to refurbish an old pultrusion machine in line with Industry 4.0 standards, aiming to optimize resource use, reduce waste, and extend equipment life at large scale. Incorporation of CEP seeks to revolutionize the conventional refurbishment model in manufacturing industries, creating a sustainable technological advanced framework that promotes economic viability and environmental responsibility. These protocols assure a significant reduction of investments costs (−62%) and ensure real-time monitoring and adaptive control systems to enhance operational efficiency of the machine. A significant improvement in overall equipment effectiveness by 74% and reduction in waste by 23%. Lastly, various steps of integration of CEP in the modernization of old machinery, contributing significantly to their operability and functionality in a real industrial scenario are discussed.
