What is it about?
It is about obtaining process steps of a manufacturing cell to rework defected printed circuit board assemblies. The obtained process steps were used in developing world’s first autonomous robotic remanufacturing cell for reworking printed circuit board assemblies including both surface mount and through-hole components.

Why is it important?
It discusses the fundamentals for developing autonomous robotic remanufacturing cell including manufacturing process steps (procedures) and the hardware requirements. The determining of procedures are the starting point for the design of a remanufacturing cell. It also gives required activities of rework tools including Adept I robot, image processing sensor (vision) and cell controller.
Perspectives
The design of most most flexible manufacturing cells (FMCs) requires to deal in four interrelated design domains. These are (1)-Design of methods and procedures, (2)- Design and selection of mechanical systems, part, tools etc. (3)- Design of Cell Controller architecture, (4)- Designing integration and interfacing of tools, sensors etc. This paper concentrates on domain 1. It provides a suitable systematic design methodology for solving the design problems in domain 1 to ease FMC design. As the designed system was manufactured and tested, the findings were proven.
