CIRCMAN5.0

The project

The EU guidelines for circular production and supply chains require a strategic approach at every stage of the product lifecycle. The shift towards circularity starts with circular design principles, where the linear “take-make-dispose” model is superseded by the one that prioritizes reusability, reparability, and recyclability. CIRCMAN5.0 combines advanced industry 4.0 technologies with human-centric design principles to assess and demonstrate how waste reduction and optimization of raw material can be feasible and profitable while significantly reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing processes.

TTS's role

TTS leads the work package on simulation and modelling software for product and process manufacturing. It develops the standardised Asset Administration Shell interfaces, the FIWARE-based shop-floor data middleware and the Cognitive Digital Twin of manufacturing processes, and is the project’s Exploitation Manager.
