If you are an aircraft component refurbisher dealing with high waste and expensive raw materials — this project developed a multi-layered Digital Twin and AI decision support that reduces raw material consumption and production costs.
Digital Twin Platform for Industrial Remanufacturing and Circular Asset Management
Imagine having a perfect digital ghost of a machine that tells you exactly how to take it apart and fix it up like new. This system tracks a product's entire life so companies can stop throwing away old parts and start rebuilding them. It's like a high-tech manual and health tracker combined for industrial equipment.
What needed solving
Manufacturers struggle to profitably remanufacture old products due to a lack of data on asset condition and inefficient manual processes for disassembly and quality control.
What was built
An open-source distributed ICT platform featuring multi-layered Digital Twins, AI decision support, DLT traceability, and AR tools for factory workers.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are an EV battery or engine remanufacturer dealing with complex traceability and quality control — this project developed a DLT-based tracking system and AR tools that increase efficiency and competitiveness.
If you are a home appliance manufacturer dealing with inefficient end-of-life product recovery — this project developed an open-source ICT platform that enables seamless data management for circular remanufacturing.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for this platform?
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the ICT platform is described as being based on open-source technology.
Can this be scaled to a full industrial production line?
Yes, the project aims for TRL7 and includes a scaled replicability study to demonstrate adaptability across various industrial sectors.
Who owns the IP or how is the licensing handled?
Based on available project data, the ICT platform is developed using an open-source basis, though specific licensing terms for the AI and DLT services are not detailed.
How does this integrate with existing factory hardware?
The project focuses on the digitalisation of assets and uses a distributed ICT platform to allow seamless data management and Digital Twin implementation.
What is the timeline for deployment?
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, targeting a TRL7 demonstration by the end of the period.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with a 54% industry ratio consisting of 7 companies (including 4 SMEs). This strong commercial presence, combined with 3 universities and 3 research centers across 7 countries, suggests the project is driven by real-world operational needs rather than theoretical research.
