Challenge Description

Secure and Sustainable Supply Chain for Building Materials

The building sector is a major producer of waste materials. As soon as it is built into a structure, the data related to the material is lost. Once the building reaches the end of its life cycle, the demolition material becomes waste rather than a reusable resource. For this challenge, you will create a digital twin of the building material, thus enabling its recycling or correct disposal.

Initial Situation

• Each OEM (original equipment manufacturer) uses its own system of declaration and identification.
• The quality (i.g. sustainable information) cannot be traced after a building has been finished.
• There is not backtrack to the provider.

Expectation

Create a secure and sustainable supply chain of building materials!

• Setting an identification standard with the System GS1 to build a digital twin of the material.
• Each involved party identifies its products with a unique identifier (GTIN, sGTIN, GIAI, GLN) i.e. screws. This identifer shall be coded with a data matrix, RFID tag or barcode containing basic information (producer, origin of the material, environmental and sustainable information,…)
• The product identifcation of the succeeding product refers to the identifier of the used, prior products.
• The data supply chain, based on block chain technology, delivers consistent information on the used materials.
