WEBINAR:Making the Case for Remanufacturing

of automotive electronic components

Hosted by APRA and ACtronicsPresented by: Thijs Jasink, General Manager ACtronics UK

Peter Bartel, Chairman APRA Europe

Leon Kleine Staarman, CEO ACtronics Group

Agenda• Overview of Economic Situation impacting the

Automotive sector• Reliability, Safety & Quality of

Remanufactured Parts• The growth of remanufacturing • Repair vs Remanufacturing• New Remanufacturing technologies• Questions

Economic SituationSaab saved from bankruptcy to make electric cars

Volvo agree to transfer tech to new parent China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group

Reliability, Safety, Quality of Remanufactured Parts

Peter BartelChairman APRA Europe

Safety

• Should we remanufacture safety relevant automotive parts?

• What has to be respected?

Safety• Definition of Safety: – A system is safe, if it is free from unacceptable risks [a]

• Definition of Risk:– A risk is defined by the probability of accordance and

the expected impact. [a]

• Safety relevant of a system:– A system is safety relevant if a miss function leads to a

health risks and the situation can not be controlled by the user (driver). [a]

Safety relevance of integrated automotive systems

• The braking system of the car is safety relevant.

• The system in total has to be type approved.

• Main functionalities are redundant.• Singular failing of most of the components inside

the integrated brake system is not safety relevant.• Critical spare parts have to be type approved

according ECE R90.(Friction pads and linings / in the future additional drums and discs )

Methods

• SIL (Safety Integrity Level)– DIN EN 61508– Focus non automotive

• ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level)– ISO 26262– Focus electric, electronic automotive components

Additional demands A remanufacturer has to• be capable to evaluate the safety relevant of possible

malfunctions of his product.• know the influence of his remanufacturing process on the

functionality of his product.• be able to ensure that non original spare parts have no

influence on the safety of the vehicle.• fulfill specific engineering and production standards for high

safety relevant products.

Origins of Profit in the Automotive Industry

Repair vs Remanufacturing

Repair• Replacement of only the

parts that are broken

Remanufacturing• Remanufacturing starts

with research• Remanufacturing process

starts with completely rebuilding the unit

• Replacing everything that could break in the lifetime of the unit

New Remanufacturing Technologies

Leon Kleine Staarman CEO Actronics Group

Technical challenges for the future:

Trends:

Electronic integrated parts

Lighter (but not for ECU’s)

More difficult conditions to simulate
