Okres sprawozdawczy: 2022-06-01 do 2023-11-30
The JIDEP project addresses the lack of sharing and reuse of industrial data. By leveraging the principles of Industry 4.0 (i.e. fostering semantic communication), JIDEP aims to support the creation of data-driven service platform and facilitate the transition towards more sustainable materials, products, services, and solutions. By leveraging unique ontology-driven patterns, JIDEP encourages the development of innovative solutions that transcend traditional industry boundaries. JIDEP interconnects different sectors, allowing industrial data fusion and facilitating collaboration. This JIDEP platform provides built-in tools to unlock the value of data, leading to the development of sustainable solutions, technologies, and materials. Furthermore, JIDEP aims to optimize the entire product lifecycle and drive the implementation of circular standards at both technological and regulatory levels. The project equips organizations with resilience frameworks to enhance their capacity to withstand supply chain disruptions. One of the strategic impacts of the JIDEP project is the establishment of resilient, sustainable, and secure value chains as well as circular business models. JIDEP also focuses on the development of sustainable-by-design materials with enhanced functionalities and applications across various industrial processes and consumer products. By targeting industries heavily reliant on composite materials, JIDEP showcases the feasibility and benefits of its platform. Practical applications and collaboration with industry partners enable the project to unlock innovative pathways for composite material reuse. The project's use cases specifically address the recycling and upcycling of composites, ranging from electronics, wind turbine blades, and carbon fiber-reinforced polymers. These efforts reduce waste accumulation and landfilling, promoting sustainability and circular practices. Furthermore, JIDEP contributes to a clean environment, decarbonize industry, and safeguard civil infrastructures. The JIDEP project emphasizes cross-sectorial cooperation along the value chain. By establishing a digital space for industrial data sharing and connecting manufacturers from different sectors, JIDEP promotes the adoption of key digital and enabling technologies in industrial value chains. JIDEP serves as a valuable resource for organizations facing data challenges on their journey towards delivering more sustainable materials, products, services, and solutions. The platform's tools empower organizations to unlock the value of data and drive the development of innovative and sustainable solutions. Through its use cases and collaborations with industrial partners, JIDEP demonstrates the effectiveness and benefits of its platform in promoting sustainability, circularity, and resilience across industries. JIDEP contributes to the EU's industrial strategy, and the climate neutrality goals for 2050, enabling the transformation of industrial value chains towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
The JIDEP project has achieved significant progress across its WPs. The consortium thoroughly assessed the needs of data providers, identified (non-)functional requirements, and studied relevant regulations and standards. The architecture and specifications of the JIDEP platform were carefully defined. The decentralized governance approach was adopted to maximize platform adoption and impact, ensuring wide participation and collaboration (i.e. EU-funded entities). Data collection and analysis were carried out for the JIDEP use cases, and criteria for the JIDEP data sharing platform were specified. The consortium also developed domain-specific ontologies and tools for data documentation and query. A robust methodology for generating Knowledge Graphs was developed. This facilitated the transformation of data into valuable knowledge representations, promoting sustainable practices and efficient data sharing. The consortium implemented various tasks related to the platform design and development, incl. material passports, environmental tools, data analysis, desoldering techniques, and CI/CD pipeline configuration. Early demonstrations of the JIDEP platform has been performed during the consoritum meetings and external events. The project made significant progress in implementing solutions for disassembly and recovery of materials, using cutting-edge technologies. The consortium showcased the project's commitment to robust planning, execution, and collaboration. The establishment of a chemical recycling laboratory laid the foundation for material disintegration experiments. The consortium has defined an Exploitation Plan, incl. the analysis of industry environments, and the assessment of market opportunities. Business planning tools were evaluated, and individual exploitation plans and strategies were formulated. The consortium effectively engaged partners through face2face meetings, gaining insight into technological perspectives and fostering discussions on the platform's benefits. The implementation of the JIDEP website and social media channels expanded project visibility. The JIDEP project has demonstrated significant advancements in understanding data needs and regulatory requirements, developing advanced technologies for data sharing, and fostering collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
Architecture and specifications were thoroughly documented, providing valuable insights into project stakeholders’ needs and regulatory landscape alignment. Semantic ontologies and tools for data sharing, achieving interoperability through standardization as well as a workflow to verify the FAIR compliance of distributed data contributions have been developed. The development of the JIDEP data sharing platform resulted in the completion of the Material Passport and LCA frameworks, providing a product circularity calculator. Furthermore, digital tools and advanced algorithms were developed to support recycling techniques for automotive and electronic waste. A Knowledge Graph generation methodology within the platform, facilitating the circular exchange of data and promoting sustainable practices is implemented. The search functionality and data catalogs enhance access to data and information as well as promote efficient circular exchange. The use cases has been described, incl. equipment modifications, for assessing innovative chemical recycling methods. The experimental work aims to identify sustainable approaches, promoting circularity and waste reduction. Early demonstrations of the JIDEP platform has been performed at internal and external events. The consortium has designed an Exploitation Plan, analysing business environments, and stakeholders as well as modelling techniques for business planning. The JIDEP Exploitation Plan aim to sustain the project's impact beyond its duration. Partners formulated individual exploitation plans to engage with stakeholders. The project's achievements were promoted through the JIDEP website and social media channels. The project's commitment to innovative solutions and effective dissemination ensures it remains at the forefront of advancing data-driven sustainability practices within the target industries.
