Achieving a Sustainable Economy with Digital Product Passports
Figure 4-1 : DPP architecture .
As a service-based architecture , Smart Factory Web ensures high extensibility regarding services , apps and further tools . For example , a system called Sustainability AI was added to integrate public sustainability information from life cycle assessment databases , non-governmental organizations , sustainability reports , and other information sources . It will be explained in more detail in section 4.2 .
The Smart Factory Web - Capability Model ( section 4.1 ) enables the machine-interpretable and semantic description of supplier information stored in the Supplier Knowledge Base . This is a graph database for storing information about enterprises and their production capabilities . It is used to search for suppliers and supply chains ( networks of suppliers ) within the Smart Factory Web ecosystem .
DPPs can be created , enriched or validated using information in the Supplier and Sustainability Knowledge Bases . Chapter 5 describes the two use cases addressed by the presented solution architecture for DPPs .
