Circular Solutions: Data and AI for sustainable engineering (GoProZero)
Regulations are becoming stricter, resources are becoming scarcer and society’s demand for sustainability is growing. The circular economy offers companies solutions to these challenges: It extends product life cycles, closes material loops and reduces dependencies on scarce raw materials. However, the transformation to circular business models is challenging for companies. This is where the it’s OWL project ‘GoProZero’ comes in by enabling companies to develop circular and resource-efficient products.
The research findings are being implemented in six lighthouse projects in close cooperation with companies such as CLAAS, Denios, GEA, HARTING, WAGO and Weidmüller. The aim is to enable companies to transform into a circular economy, to which digital solutions make a significant contribution.
The focus is on the development of practical approaches and IT tools that support the development and implementation of resource-efficient and recyclable products. Key technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital twins are used.
The synergetic interplay of digitalization and sustainability creates scalable solutions that can also be used by other companies in the long term, thus accelerating the transition to a circular economy.
