New Project PSS-Pass started

Methods and Tools Supporting Digital Product Service System Passport

We proudly announce the launch of our new project, PSS-Pass (Methods and Tools Supporting Digital Product Service System Passport – GA 101177594), starting on the first of October 2024 with 12 partners. The project is a Research and Innovation Action funded by the European Commission’s research framework programme Horizon Europe, under the “Digital, Industry and Space”. The key idea of PSS-Pass is to investigate how extension of DPP to Digital Product Service System Passport (DPSSP) can be effectively achieved and how it will allow for improved circularity of the manufacturing industry. The overarching hypothesis is that LCA underpinned by Machine Learning (ML) methods and informed by dynamic data paves the way to more accurate LCA while supporting PSS life cycle decision making. The collected and sharable data from DPSSP will allow to effectively apply ML as well as Digital Twin (DT) for more reliable decision-making processes concerning circularity of PSS. The project will provide Methodological Framework for definition, development and update of DPSSP, Digital Environment for DPSSP built on existing interoperability architectures, set of ontologies for improved interoperability at DPSSP Environment, novel DT-based Simulation Framework, for modelling standardized and interoperable DTs for PSS lifecycle analysis, and AI based method/tool to forecasts the environmental impact of PSS. The PSS-Pass solutions will be tested and evaluated within 3 pilots in diverse sectors: home appliances, complex equipment, and textile industry.
