Green Controlling
Sustainable product development supported by a digital twin
The aim of the research project "ASARSI" is to develop software that helps companies make environmental performance an objective parameter in the lifecycle of a product. Their concept involves using a digital twin to digitally map the value chain of an actual product development project through the entire production process. The aim is to calculate the environmental performance of products and illustrate their sustainability throughout the entire lifecycle from design to the end-of-life phase. The software aims to make it easier for industrial companies and SMEs from the healthcare sector to comply with the new EU directive on sustainability reporting.
defortec GmbH uses relevant product development stages to define the structure and modalities that are required for the sustainable CSR product creation process. The company, which is based in Dettenhausen, near Tübingen, is designing an intuitive new user interface for the controlling software.
macs Software GmbH, which is based in Zimmern ob Rottweil, is developing user-friendly controlling software for creating a digital twin. Besides leveraging state-of-the-art development tools, the solution also utilises artificial intelligence methods (neuronal networks and statistical algorithms).
