Abstract The vision and the concept of cyber physical system (CPS) has been
gaining more and more interest in recent years. Physical artifacts become more and
more closely intertwined with their corresponding models in cyberspace and can
be designed and controlled as cyber physical artifacts that are to exhibit optimal
performance throughout their entire life cycles by using these models. A connected
car, which allows the car to share internet access with other devices to enable safe and
optimal navigation, and manufacturing equipment that allows information sharing
with other devices for optimizing its operation and maintenance are typical examples
of such artifacts. For the success of cyber physical artifacts, an adequate description of
use case scenarios as well as usage patterns and functions of systems to be developed
is essential. Although many researches have been conducted to improve effectiveness
and efficiency of production stages by using CPS, less attention is paid to those in
products’ recovery processes (e.g. reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling). To
demonstrate the potential of CPS adoption in product recovery processes, the paper
designs and proposes CPS utilization scenarios in product recovery processes that
can improve through life performance of artifacts.
