RP1: BBTWINS defined all steps in the pork (PORTESA) and fruit (DIMITRA) value chains, identified data needs, and began sensor installation. Biomass inputs/outputs for valorisation were mapped. WP3 developed models for ham curing and logistics. Blockchain requirements were set. WP7 began LCA/LCCA data collection.
RP2: Sensorization was completed. Predictive models and a central data lake were built. Biomass valorisation advanced with technologies like microwaves and ultrasounds. Blockchain was implemented. A digital twin simulation tool was developed. Real-world testing began. LCA/LCCA assessments progressed. Communication efforts expanded.
RP3: All developments were validated. The digital twin integrated AI, simulation, and blockchain for decision support. REV drying enabled peach snack production; other valorisation routes (biomethane, keratin, polyphenols) were piloted. Real-world use showed logistics gains (e.g. 28% mileage cut), better planning, and resource use. LCA/LCCA confirmed viability. Dissemination peaked with a final event. Replicability was tested in olive oil and poultry chains.
Final WP Highlights
-WP1: Final AI models for pig and peach forecasting integrated into the twin; iOS apps tested.
-WP2: All valorisation routes evaluated; REV and other processes showed strong viability.
-WP3: Models for ham drying, fruit storage, and feeding strategies validated and embedded.
-WP4: Blockchain traceability system deployed and aligned with EU standards.
-WP5: All tools integrated into a user-friendly digital twin with KPI tracking.
-WP6: Real-world validation confirmed efficiency, quality, and planning improvements.
-WP7: LCA/LCCA confirmed environmental and economic benefits.
-WP8: Final dissemination included a Brussels conference and broad outreach.
-WP9: Final reporting, risk mitigation, and consortium coordination completed.
BBTWINS delivered a fully operational digital twin platform for pork and peach chains, integrating AI, blockchain, and modelling. Innovations like peach snacks, biomethane, and high-value compound extraction were validated. Exploitation focused on business models for fertilisers, feed, cosmetics, and digital services.
