Project goals
DigiPrime wants to develop a new digital platform for the circular economy with the aim of overcoming problems dictated by information asymmetry within the value chain, in order to improve the information exchange between stakeholders and to support the adoption of new circular business models.
Specifically, it will create a federated platform with a semantic structure; the services provided can be distinguished in:
- Value-chain oriented services, related to the product lifecycle (product information management, product co-creation, LCA-LCC for eco-design, identification of logistic barriers, legislative support)
- Vertical, industry-specific services (supply and demand monitoring, production planning and control, materials testing and certification).
The project includes 20 use cases covering 5 different industries (automotive, renewable energy, electronics, textiles, construction).
The role of Holonix
The Holonix team has the role of Project Technical Manager, coordinating its progress and ensuring that activities run smoothly and productively. Specifically:
Holonix is responsible for defining the form of the data within the platform, drawing guidelines for future developments within the project and beyond.
It is in charge of the development of one of the tools supporting the co-creation methodology aiming at increasing the interaction among companies from different value chains. That tool is Idea Manager.
IDEA MANAGER: a tool that allows for sharing challenges requiring a solution, exchanging ideas, comments and feedback from users. It basically guides companies through the process of sharing problems which can be solved with the help of the virtual community, comprising users from different fields, countries and companies, with different experiences and backgrounds, providing their help to validate the feasibility of the proposed solutions and to implement them.
