Abstract:

With the development of technology, the internet has started to play an important role in many areas of our lives. The concept of Industry 4.0 has emerged in order to increase the impact of advanced technology in the industrial sector, reduce errors in production, keep up with competitive production, reduce production times, use resources more efficiently, make processes autonomous and include the Internet of Things (IoT) in production. This means that the production in the industry takes place more efficiently. However, the development of technology also brings electronic device waste (e-waste). Old devices can be renewed through recycling and repair, thus extending the useful life of the devices. The use of Industry 4.0 technologies in the production and maintenance of refurbished devices can increase the efficiency of the production process and reduce costs. Therefore, using Industry 4.0 in this field is important in terms of being able to compete in the sector. In addition, the increase in the use of refurbished devices also contributes to environmental sustainability. In this study, the emergence and definition of Industry 4.0, its connection with the internet of things, the renewed device definition, Industry 4.0 and production and communication standards are emphasized. As a result, for a clearer understanding of the standards, the renewal stages of a refurbished smartphone and the production and communication standards to be followed are explained as an example.
