“…A pesquisa bibliográfica realizada resultou em seis artigos relevantes que tratam de IoT e ACV. Pesquisadores estão discutindo o potencial uso de IoT na ACV (Mashhadi & Behdad, 2017) e em diversas aplicações, como: no gerenciamento de resíduos de equipamentos elétricos e eletrônicos (Gu, Ma, Guo, Summers, & Hall, 2017), na etapa de fabricação de sistemas solares (Tu, Chung, Chiu, Chung, & Tzeng, 2017), para minimizar o consumo de energia (Arshad, Zahoor, Shah, Wahid, & Yu, 2017;Tao et al, 2014;Zuo, Tao, & Nee, 2018). Porém, há poucos estudos que tratam da aplicação de Internet das Coisas na ACV com foco em edificações.…”

“…Os protocolos de comunicação como MTconnect e RFID podem facilitar a gravação de dados, de modo que os dados possam ser processados em uma unidade de processamento (Mashhadi & Behdad, 2017). Tu et al (2017) propuseram uma nova abordagem de gerenciamento e estimativa de pegada de carbono baseado em IoT, aplicado durante a etapa de fabricação de painéis fotovoltaicos. Para tal, utilizaram o EPCglobal network como plataforma da tecnologia IoT por suportar as operações lógicas baseadas em RFID.…”

“…All the sensors are connected to a central cloud environment where the energy life cycle costs of a product are calculated. The automation of carbon footprinting through dynamic power sourcing in solar photovoltaic systems is proposed in [35]. While the photovoltaic sector traditionally relied upon static carbon footprint averages to calculate the footprint of solar panels during use phase, in [35] automatic IoT-based carbon footprinting approaches are evaluated.…”

While the photovoltaic sector traditionally relied upon static carbon footprint averages to calculate the footprint of solar panels during use phase, in [35] automatic IoT-based carbon footprinting approaches are evaluated. The study finds that the dynamics of the power sourcing throughout the supply chain can be sufficiently captured for improved estimates of carbon footprints.…”

Life cycle assessment is a well-established methodology for assessing the environmental impacts of products and services. Unfortunately, an essential part of this life cycle assessment method, col- lecting inventory data, is extremely time consuming. The quality of manually conducted LCA studies is often limited by uncertainty in the inventory data or narrow scope. Past attempts to overcome these challenges through automation of data collection utilizing the Internet of Things have relied on fully centralized architectures. The drawback of a central repository is the complex coordination between all involved actors in supply chains of products and services. This paper proposes an alternative hybrid approach combining a primary distributed system supplemented with a central repository reducing the need for coordination. This hybrid approach is named "the Footprint of Things". We present a system design that embeds the automatic reporting of life cycle inventory data, such as energy and material flows, into all product components involved in a service delivery. The major strength of our novel system design, among others, is its capacity for real-time and more precise impact calculation of ICT services.

Application of digital technologies for sustainable product management in a circular economy: A review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Digital technologies (DTs), such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, or blockchain, are considered as enablers for a more sustainable and circular economy. So far, literature on these topics has mostly focused on specific DTs and subareas of sustainable product management (SPM). The aim of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive overview of current and potential examples of DT applications in SPM (e.g., product design/assessment, supply chain management, and business models). The collected examples (n = 146) were analyzed based on a systematic literature review, using quantitative and qualitative content analysis. Deductive and inductive analyses of the examples revealed the potential of DTs in terms of their usability along the product life cycle, their role as enablers for circular economy strategies and in specific SPM activities. DT application often entails only incremental improvements, for example, increased efficiency of existing processes, with more radical forms of improvement remaining relatively scarce. There is clear room for greater adoption and optimization of DTs, in various areas of SPM, so as to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and circular economy.
