  • Publication number: 20250124070
    Abstract: Systems and methods for describing a composition of an article of manufacture are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving article composition data for an article of manufacture that identifies a set of parts of the article, a stated composition for each part of the set of parts, and a physical quantity of the stated composition. The method further includes classifying the stated composition of each part of the set of parts into a normalized composition that includes a set of normalized chemicals. The method further includes outputting an aggregated physical quantity of each normalized chemical for the set of parts of the article. The method can include classifying a normalized composition of each part into a material category within a hierarchical taxonomy based on the set of normalized chemicals of that normalized composition and outputting an aggregated physical quantity of each material category for the parts.

  • Patent number: 12263547
    Abstract: A method for automated device disassembly includes, at a computerized demanufacturing system, receiving a target electronic device for disassembly. Using a set of one or more sensors of the computerized demanufacturing system, a set of sensor data is collected that quantifies one or more physical properties of the target electronic device. Based at least in part on the set of sensor data, correspondences are identified between one or more effectors of the computerized demanufacturing system and one or more interactable elements of the target electronic device. The interactable elements are automatically manipulated using the one or more effectors to at least partially disassemble the target electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20240378099
    Abstract: A computing system for predicting substitute or missing parts of an assembled product is provided, including a processor configured to execute a model training program configured to generate a component graph including a respective node for each of a plurality of component IDs of the assembled product of a computing system. The component graph includes node embeddings for each node, in which the node embeddings are computed such that nodes with similar features are closer in a node embedding space than nodes with dissimilar features. The processor is further configured to execute an embeddings comparison algorithm to compare embeddings of the component IDs to thereby identify a substitute component ID for a target node on the graph, and execute a life cycle analysis (LCA) program configured to compute an LCA result using an LCA algorithm based at least upon the substitute component ID.

  • Publication number: 20230169429
    Abstract: A repurposing system tracks tracking demand information associated with various types of used hardware components and also tracks characteristics of hardware inventory in use at one or more facilities. The tracked characteristics of the hardware inventory are used to generate a forecasted supply of used hardware components expected to arrive at a repurposing facility, and the tracked demand information is used to determine a collection of route options available to each used hardware component in the forecasted supply. A carbon equivalent savings is computed in association with each route option available to each hardware component and used to dynamically select one of the available route options for each hardware component.

  • Publication number: 20220108252
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for generating sustainability insights and recommendations are presented. An asset disposition service may maintain a library comprising a plurality of software objects. Each of the software objects may correspond to a hardware computing asset and each software object may have a plurality of attributes associated with it related to the physical makeup of the asset, the software executed by the asset, regulatory issues associated with the asset, or contractual terms associated with the asset. The asset disposition service may apply various algorithms and/or machine learning models to one or more attributes of the software objects to generate sustainability insights and recommendations that can be utilized to identify best disposition paths for assets and for meeting sustainability goals.

  • Patent number: 10523717
    Abstract: A method includes acts for establishing a subscription for an entity. The method includes receiving, at a cloud service provider, a request from an entity to establish a subscription. The request includes credentials for the entity that are not proper credentials for an organization associated with the entity that the entity should use to access services for the organization. The method further includes performing a corrective action based on detecting one or more factors to determine that the entity is associated with the organization. The method further includes providing services based on the corrective action.
