Data technologies, data ecosystems and cross-linking
Data ecosystems for the realisation of circular value creation exploiting the full potential of digitalisation – e.g., harnessing existing, purpose-built platform solutions.(AI based) recognition systems (e.g. image recognition) to evaluate materials, components and products and determine the best use paths(AI based) process and system control technologies(AI based) Material and Product Design, Decomposition and SeparationSimulation models and predictive analytics to assess the scalability of circular processes across industriesDesign of an adaptable Digital Product Pass
Other enabling technologies
Manufacturing and machine learning, e.g., to increase the flexibility of industrial processes, modular approaches, reduce use of materials, quality assurance and certification of products)Industry 4.0 technologies (IoT, big data analytics) for monitoring and managing circular value chains(Advanced/smart) Sensors, e.g., enabling materials, components and product flows measurementLife cycle assessment / Product life cycle management – e.g., Digital Twin / Digital Product PassportTools and solutions addressing challenges emerging from product focused regulations (such as the ESPR)
