AI-powered optimisation of circular feedstock and waste value chains
About
Sonalyx is looking for partners to build a RIVCircular Topic 5 consortium focused on AI-powered digitalisation of circular feedstock and waste value chains.
We propose developing and validating an intelligent platform that uses AI agents and automation to interact with suppliers, farmers, waste producers and other stakeholders through voice and digital channels.
The solution would automatically collect and structure operational information such as resource type, quantity, availability, location, timing and incidents, integrating this data with existing enterprise systems.
The goal is to improve feedstock sourcing, supply planning, traceability, logistics, stakeholder coordination and operational decision-making, reducing manual processes and improving the efficiency of circular value chains.
Sonalyx will provide the AI agents, automation, data processing and enterprise integration technology.
We are looking for partners from eligible RIVCircular regions, particularly industrial operators, bioenergy and biomethane companies, waste valorisation businesses, agricultural/forestry organisations and research institutions, able to contribute real use cases, sector expertise, data and/or operational environments for demonstration and validation.
We are open to joining an existing consortium or building a new one around this use case.
