Description du projet
Un modèle commercial circulaire pour privilégier les réparations et les remises à neuf
Le coût de réparation d’un appareil ménager tombé en panne, par exemple un lave-linge, est souvent trop élevé pour que cela en vaille la peine. Or, le droit à la réparation est un aspect essentiel de l’économie circulaire. Dans ce contexte, le projet DiCiM, financé par l’UE, mettra au point des solutions numériques visant à stimuler les nouveaux modèles commerciaux de l’économie circulaire. Il vise à améliorer l’efficacité et la réactivité des activités de valorisation, depuis l’inspection et le démontage jusqu’à la réparation, la remise à neuf et le recyclage. Son objectif est de permettre la réutilisation des produits, des pièces et des matériaux. Plus spécifiquement, DiCiM fera la démonstration de solutions numériques intégrées pour l’électroménager (réfrigérateurs, machines à laver), l’électronique (imprimantes) et l’automobile. Il s’attachera en particulier à améliorer la récupération des pièces détachées.
Objectif
The aim of the current project is to bring about the development of the full demonstrator of DiCiM, a set of integrated digital solutions that makes use of Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML) based Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Image Processing and Augmented Reality (AR) to support different actors of the industrial value chain such as managers, engineers and operators in their decision making and to carry out value recovery activities for circular economy. The integrated digital solutions include an open access digital platform for lifecycle information management and support solutions for value recovery activities.
DiCiM project revolves around the value use and value recovery phases of the Circular Value Model (CVM) with the specific data, technology and the management needed to support its implementation. In particular, it focuses on integrated digital solutions to enabling condition monitoring during the use phase, optimizing the reverse logistics, and achieving efficiency and responsiveness in the value recovery activities (i.e. collection, inspection, sorting, disassembly, testing and repairing/refurbishing/remanufacturing/recycling) to enable reuse of products, parts and materials.
DiCiM project will demonstrate integrated digital solutions in four use cases in three industrial sectors that represent over two thirds of the European Economy. They include whitegoods (i.e. refrigerators, washing machines), electronics (i.e. printers) and automotive. With important gains such as increase in spare part recovery efficiency by 90% (which means 126 000 labour hours are saved for refrigerator demonstrator) and increase in spare part recovery rate by 20% (about 2920 tons net material saving for washing machines and 6000 tons for automotive).
DiCiM digital solutions will boost new circular economy business models based on value recovery activities to sustain and encourage remanufacturing throughout Europe.
