Progresses in Objective 1 have been achieved with respect to the development of the horizontal value-chain integration services of the DigiPrime platform in WP3. The services have been designed and implemented, leading to digital tools customized for different user needs at different Circular Economy maturity levels.
Progresses in Objective 2 have been achieved. In order to make the use of the DigiPrime platform attractive from an economic and business perspective, the user functional and non-functional requirements have been defined with a rigorous and replicable approach. Moreover, use-scenarios have been formalized. Based on these inputs, WP7 is in progress, establishing the business models for the platform and service developers as well as for the industrial users at different level of the circular value-chain.
Progresses in Objective 3 have been achieved. The validation of the services in the technical value-chains (pilots) in the Li-Ion batteries, electronics, composite and textile pilots of the DigiPrime project have been carried out and is in progress.
Progresses towards Objective 4 have been achieved concerning the development of a service for LCA /LCC methods application to the DigiPrime pilots as well as concerning the definition of service integration towards the platform development, prioritizing the integration path within the MVP (DigiPrime Minimum Viable Platform) development process, through a continuous application of the iterative lean design principle.
Progresses in Objective 5 have been achieved. Actions have been implemented through targeted dissemination activities in large scale events, in synergy with other EU level activities, such as the DMP (Digital Manufacturing Platform) cluster, the CF2 (Connected Factories) CSA, the IDSA initiative, the Vanguard Initiative and the Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation. Moreover, links with new strategic projects and actions have been established, such as the Digital Product Passport CSA "CircPass". Moreover, the Ambassador and Seed program has contributed to attract interest from stakeholders on the DigiPrime Open Calls. The first Open Call for IT service developers has been successfully closed and evaluation is in progress.
Progresses towards Objective 6 have been achieved through specific actions performed in synergy with European level actions in specific DigiPrime pilots, for example pilot 1 on batteries. DigiPrime has submitted recently the “DigiPrime Position Paper for the Consultation on Battery Regulation”.
Progresses towards Objective 7 have been achieved. In particular, leveraging on the previous developments in other H2020 projects, both in the context of Circular value-chains and in the context of Digital Platforms for manufacturing, the architecture of the DigiPrime platform has been designed and the platform implemented, enhancing the concept of federation already introduced in the proposal preparation phase.The outcomes of these activities will be included in a high-visibility open access book that will be published before the end of the project to increase the footprint of the project results at scientific and industrial level.
