CIRCULOOS Platform Description (Design Phase)
The CIRCULOOS platform is currently in the conceptual stage, with many circularity tools still in development. An updated CMRA, including a detailed description of the functional CIRCULOOS platform, will be published in early 2025.
Key components of the current design include:
Generic Platform Capabilities
Local Data Platform
A foundation for data sharing, ensuring scalability, resilience, and data sovereignty.
Data Sharing Framework
Facilitates robust data exchange within a unified ecosystem.
Circular Manufacturing Capabilities
Stakeholder Engagement (RAMP)
A digital community tool helping MSMEs digitize production and adopt circular practices. It connects MSMEs and digital service providers, promoting collaborations and resource optimization.
Manufacturing Process Orchestration (SCPO Tool)
Coordinates multi-actor collaboration and monitors production processes to ensure sustainability targets are met.
Sustainability Assessment (GRETA Tool)
Analyzes environmental, social, and economic impacts throughout the product lifecycle, providing insights for sustainable practices.
Supply Chain Digital Twin (SCDT Tool)
Creates digital replicas of supply chains, allowing real-time visualization, data analysis, and sustainability assessment.
Supply Chain Optimization (SCOPT Tool)
Uses AI and data to optimize supply chains, improving performance and reducing costs.
CV-based System for Composition Detection
Separates and recycles plastics, enhancing material flow and enabling efficient circularity loops.
These tools and enablers are designed to support sustainable, resilient, and efficient manufacturing practices. The CIRCULOOS platform is being developed with input from industrial pilots to ensure real-world applicability, and future iterations will involve extensive testing and expansion.
