Procesul de refabricare necesită adesea muncă intensivă și se bazează în mare măsură pe expertiza angajaților din cauza variațiilor largi ale condițiilor de returnare a produselor. Utilizarea senzorilor încorporați a prezentat potențialul de a ajuta producătorii să ia decizii mai fiabile în fiecare etapă a procesului de refabricare. Însă, monitorizarea stării produselor folosind senzori încorporați, în special fuziunea și interpretarea datelor senzorilor, rămâne o provocare în industria de refabricare. Acest capitol a trecut în revistă practicile actuale privind dezvoltarea senzorilor inteligenți încorporați în produse în două aspecte principale, și anume, încorporarea senzorilor inteligenți în produse și reprezentarea și interpretarea datelor senzorilor. Selecția senzorului și amplasarea/instalarea senzorului sunt cele mai relevante două probleme care necesită considerații atente pentru a atinge performanța țintă pentru monitorizarea stării. Fuziunea și interpretarea datelor multisenzor pentru diagnosticarea eficientă a erorilor și prognoza eșecului sunt revizuite pe scurt. A fost dezvoltat un cadru conceptual pentru utilizarea datelor senzorului în facilitarea operațiunilor de refabricare și luarea deciziilor la fiecare etapă de refabricare.

Odată cu progresul și dezvoltarea tehnologiilor de senzori inteligenți, senzorii individuali pot avea o capacitate de calcul puternică și abilitatea de a comunica cu alți senzori sau cu serverul prin rețele wireless. Cu aceste caracteristici, viitoarele sisteme de senzori inteligenți pot adopta calcularea omniprezentă în monitorizarea și gestionarea stării produselor. Permițând tuturor factorilor de decizie să acceseze datele ciclului de viață al produsului cu ușurință și în siguranță, aplicarea senzorilor inteligenți încorporați pentru a facilita luarea deciziilor privind recuperarea EoL a produsului poate fi investigată și înțeleasă în continuare.
