Decide4ECO

𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝟰𝗘𝗖𝗢 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 The goal of Decide4ECO is to create a methodology which uses data ecosystems such as Manufacturing-X or Catena-X and develop a systematic and flexible decision support system for product planning and development with respect to the sustainability of a product and its entire value chain in shared data ecosystems. The methodology is based on connectors for integrating PLM and other systems into data ecosystems as well as on AI-based methods for sustainability assessment which are developed by the project partners. The project partners continuously implement the project results in a demonstrator, which is validated by the industrial partners. Interested companies can participate as associate partners to test the project results. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 PROSTEP develops an Eclipse Data Space Connector (EDC) for its PLM integration platform OpenPDM to provide data from PLM, ALM or ERP systems via the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) in data ecosystems such as Manufacturing-X or Catena-X or to import data from these data ecosystems. CONTACT Software and Nexpirit will implement new functions for sustainability analysis and integration into data ecosystems in their solutions to support companies in the collaborative development of sustainable products and to enable them to make decisions about sustainability-relevant product features earlier and with more certainty. The industrial partners (BOS, Hadi-Plast and Sennheiser) will use the new methodologies and IT solutions to develop more sustainable products. In addition, they will be able to participate in data ecosystems in the future. The Heinz Nixdorf Institute will integrate the project results into research and university lectures. Grant Thornton will advise on the legal design of data ecosystems and compliance with the Data Act and the Data Governance Act. Brainport Industries will support the dissemination of the project results in the Netherlands.
