Project description DEENESFRITPL Digital twin technologies to overcome remanufacturing challenges Remanufacturing has been a promising green solution that encourages recycling and utilises circularity. Unfortunately, it still faces multiple challenges that must be overcome for its widespread adoption. The EU-funded CREDIT project aims to solve these challenges using an innovative approach. This approach will focus on digitalising assets, using multi-layered digital twins, developing open-source-based distributed ICT platforms, using AI-based support systems to improve tracking, predictive maintenance, quality control, and other tools. It will also provide workers with necessary upskilling. The results will allow for improved circularity and recycling thanks to advanced digital systems and logistics managing data and manufacturing processes. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The CREDIT project will address current challenges in circular remanufacturing by adopting a human-centred innovation approach, focusing on the digitalisation of assets (A), creating multi-layered Digital Twins (B), and developing an open-source-based distributed ICT platform (C), allowing seamless data management and complex DT implementation. Additionally, a range of remanufacturing-enabling digital services (D), including AI-based decision support systems, DLT-based traceability and quality control, predictive maintenance, and general support tools for remanufacturing operations, such as Augmented Reality, will be integrated. Alongside these technologies and tools, a comprehensive upskilling and education methodology (E) will be developed to ensure the appropriate level of maturity at the factory site. Five diverse business cases in the white goods, telecommunications, aerospace, and automotive sectors have been designed based on their relevance and potential for broad impact. These use cases will be co-created with stakeholders in line with the social innovation methodology to ensure that the specific objectives and technologies are aligned with end users' needs. By providing an operational environment, these use cases will serve as the foundation for achieving the final TRL7 and demonstrating the platform's adaptability and potential for deployment in various industrial sectors. This will be consolidated through a scaled replicability study. The project's far-reaching impact will touch a wide set of target groups, leading to a more sustainable, efficient, and socially responsible future for the manufacturing industry. CREDIT will generate economic benefits such as increased efficiency, reduced production costs, and enhanced competitiveness while addressing environmental concerns by reducing waste, lowering carbon emissions, and minimizing raw material consumption, in line with the EU’s green manufacturing and sustainability targets.
