Automated Knowledge Acquisition Pipeline for Disassembly Instructions: A Comparison of NLP and Generative AI Frameworks
内容摘要
The push towards circularity and Re-X principles presents a challenge to SMEs, particularly due to increasing product complexity that impedes the adoption of disassembly automation. This paper introduces and compares two frameworks for extracting disassembly instructions from unstructured information sources, such as disassembly manuals. Our goal is to transform natural language text into a structured, curated and machine-readable format. We implemented and tested a rule-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) framework against a generative AI framework leveraging LLMs. The performance of both approaches was compared using real-world disassembly manuals. This work provides the necessary data foundation for developing and automating future disassembly processes.
