In the AFTER-LIFE phase, the project team continued with publications trying to understand and explain the role played by smart manufacturing techniques in the adoption of circular economy practices, and how to transform part of Big Data into Smart Data, focusing on the re-engineering of the product and input sourcing system in an operational environment with a quantitative approach.
To achieve this goal, the study analyzes the LIFE Forture results in the ceramic tile manufacturing process. The ceramic tile sector is indeed based on resource-intensive industries with a complex input sourcing system, a high level of adoption of Industry 4.0 digital technologies, and characterized by the implementation of internationally recognized environmental best practices.
