Imagine if every product had a digital birth certificate that followed it forever, telling you exactly what it's made of and how to fix it. This project builds a digital system that helps companies stop throwing things away and instead reuse or recycle materials more efficiently. It's like a GPS for a product's life, guiding it from the factory back into the production loop.
EU manufacturers struggle with a dependence on imported critical raw materials and suffer from information silos that prevent efficient recycling and product reuse.
A Circular Economy Decision Support System (CE-DSS), Digital Product Passports (DPP), and a Modular Digital Thread for data orchestration.
If you are an aircraft manufacturer dealing with expensive critical raw materials — this project developed Digital Product Passports that track material flows to improve recycling and remanufacturing. This reduces reliance on imported materials for high-tech parts.
If you are a smartphone producer dealing with short product lifespans and waste — this project developed a Circular Economy Decision Support System that optimizes stock management and product recovery. This helps extend the lifecycle of electronics.
If you are a warehousing operator dealing with inefficient asset turnover — this project developed a Modular Digital Thread to orchestrate data across the value chain. This enables better predictive maintenance and sustainable asset management.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the tools are not provided.
Yes, the project is designed for industrial scale, demonstrating applications in aeronautics, electronics, and logistics production environments.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not detailed, though it involves a consortium of 18 partners.
It uses a digital architecture aligned with interoperability standards and the EU Data Spaces framework to ensure horizontal and vertical integration.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-06-30, suggesting availability toward the end of this window.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 18 partners with a strong industrial presence. With 8 industry partners (including 3 SMEs) and 6 research organizations, the industry ratio is 44%, ensuring that the developed digital tools are grounded in real-world manufacturing needs rather than just academic theory.
