About

Eyal Zussman is a leading figure in sustainable manufacturing and intelligent automation, with a career dedicated to solving the end-of-life challenges of industrial products. His primary research focuses on disassembly process planning and remanufacturing, where he has pioneered adaptive methodologies that bridge the gap between product obsolescence and resource recovery. Zussman’s most influential work, “Design and implementation of an adaptive process planner for disassembly processes” (2000, 83 citations), introduces a groundbreaking use of Petri nets to model and plan disassembly sequences, enabling efficient recycling and reuse of components. This contribution is critical for industries seeking to comply with environmental legislation while optimizing cost and efficiency. He has also explored destructive disassembly techniques, as seen in “Impact Fracture of Screws for Disassembly” (1999, 8 citations), offering an alternative approach to product recovery. Beyond disassembly, Zussman has contributed to laser-scanner sensor planning and robot integration into flexible manufacturing cells, showcasing his versatility in automation. His work has profoundly influenced the fields of green manufacturing and circular economy, providing foundational tools for researchers and engineers aiming to reduce industrial waste.
