AI Café presents: AI, Data Spaces and Digital Product Passports, the new technological challenges for Circular Manufacturing

October 11th, 2023 from 14h to 15h CEST

Description of the Talk 

The Circular TwAIn (HOME) “AI Platform for Integrated Sustainable and Circular Manufacturing" is developing an ecosystem of product-process-human AI-based Digital Twins aiming at supporting Circular Manufacturing value networks in the domains of Car Batteries, PC Electronics and Petro-Chemical plants. On the one side, a Circular Manufacturing Data Space will be specified and implemented for the three domains also including Digital Product Passports and final Consumers where De- and Re- Manufacturers and Re-cyclers will be integrated into the usual Product Lifecycle Data Space. On the other side, the AI applications for LCA, CO2 footprint and End of Life optimisation will be made interoperable with the AIoD platform (HOME), supporting the joint development and provision of services for Manufacturing Circular value chains.

The speech will focus on how to design and implement Circular Manufacturing Data Spaces (stakeholders, data sources, industrial agreement) to make them compatible with intelligent smart Digital Twins and Digital Product Passports as well as the AIoD services.
