Data are the cornerstone of digital economy. Twinning digitalisation and circularity requires finding innovative ways for a transparent sharing of information in a secured and standardized way, while also considering intellectual property rights (IPRs) and data protection.
This project circle includes identifying, comparing and evaluating existing efforts in setting up standardised data exchange systems aimed at enabling easier maintenance, repair, reuse and redesign of objects and products as well as of their respective components, materials and substances used in European defence. It addresses also digital inventories in military supply chains and digitalization and efficiency of logistics (warehouse management, intralogistics and outbound logistics); the usage of technology, such as GPS, RFID, big data, all helping with real-time solutions, prediction of supplier demand, self- coordination and automatization.
Key activities foreseen
- Define a roadmap and associated project(s), guiding the development of a European “circular data” scheme that aligns with the level of confidentiality required by the defence realm, as well as interfacing with the digitalisation of warehouses and other dimensions related to logistics;
