Digital Product Passports
Why?
Digital Product Passports provide a standardized data structure for product and material data exchange in a global supply chain. It reduces your efforts to map different data structures between you and your customers, partners and suppliers and keep those mapping up-to-data. Through the standard data structures, it is also easier for AI solutions to consume the data, without a lot of data wrangling.
What?
During the implementation of a Digital Product Passport solution, we support our clients with technology agnostic capabilities like project management, business analysis, solution architecture and solution/product QA.
While there are a couple of Digital Product Passport standards published, e.g. for EV batteries, the standard data models provides by Catena-X and IDTA as sub-models of an Asset Administration Shell.
Before jumping in the implementation of a Digital Product Passport solution, we recommend to look at the topic from a strategy and architecture perspective. For this INOVIA Consulting has the matching advisory services.
The technology specific capabilities can be provided by the partners of our clients or through our value network.
How?
- We use standards and industry best practices to shape our work. This ensures interoperability as well as the availability of enough skilled resources for implementation.
- We also use reference frameworks, architectures and models to maximize re-use of existing open-source IP, accelerating development for project deliverables, while improving quality.
- In all our engagement we use GenAI and AI Agents to augment our consultants. This improves the productivity but also provides more relevant insights and functions as a QA mechanism.
- From a way of working perspective, we prefer a Design Thinking approach for analysis and design and Agile/Scrum for solution implementation.
