Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design TechnologyThe recycling of end-of-life vehicles is a fundamental part of the circular economy. The Digma-DT project aims to increase the efficient use of resources at the end of a vehicle's life on the basis of digital twin information.
Digma-DT - Digital Twins for Sustainability in the Automotive Sector
With Digma-DT, six partners are currently pursuing the vision of sustainable, digitalized and efficient vehicle recycling. Current challenges in the automotive industry such as climate change, scarcity of resources and the increasing demand for secondary materials are being addressed in the joint project.
Digital CO2-Footprint
As an application-oriented research partner, Fraunhofer IPK brings expertise for the development of component twins with integrated carbon footprint to the project. Instance-based information such as product quality is indispensable for the end-of-life decision of components regarding a possible reuse. Furthermore, Fraunhofer IPK supports the development of benefit-centric and demand-driven solutions in agile software development as well as data-driven business model development and includes the evaluation of environmental sustainability with a life cycle assessment (LCA).
