Presentation at WCEAM 2022 – the 16th world congress on Engineering Asset Management

After 2 years of online events, the 16th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM) was held on 5-7 October 2022 in Seville, Spain. At the congress, VTT presented the framework for life-cycle cost and environmental impact indicators developed in the DENiM project and used the opportunity to inform the industry and research community about the LCC (Life Cycle Costing) and LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) research in DENiM. The conference paper focused on smart energy efficiency improvements in the manufacturing processes and examined the cost and environmental indicators from several angles at the process and machine levels. In addition to the conference proceedings, the…

DENiM Requirements & Architectural Approach report sent to External Expert Advisory Board (EEAB)

A key aspect of the DENiM project is engaging with relevant stakeholders to ensure the project is on the right trajectory from a scientific, industrial and impact perspective. To support this, the project has invited a number of external experts from various background (e.g. Industry4.0, digital technologies, energy management, policy and standardisation) to engage and provide guidance on the project activities. The initial engagement with the DENiM EEAB has been very positive and fruitful for the project. They have helped re-enforce the DENiM concept and inform the requirements and architectural specification of the DENiM digital intelligence platform. The project have…

Holistic Modeling for Continuous Performance Assessment

Holistic Modeling for Continuous Performance Assessment started in April 2021 and continues up to year 2024. This work provides energy-centric modeling-related information, capabilities, and tools for the implementation needs of the DENiM platform. So far, the main progress has been made in the detailed planning of tasks and in gathering all relevant information and data from the modelling point of view. During the first year of the project, both the development of data quality service and energy modelling principles have been in progress. Integration of the quality component into the DENiM interoperability manager has been completed and demonstrated. In addition, the…

Requirements Specification for Collaborative Energy Management

The work on definition and collection of Requirements Specification for Collaborative Energy Management started on the beginning of the DENiM project in November 2020 and continued up to July 2021. The core objective of this work package was to inform the project foundations for technical development. This included a detailed stakeholder analysis, review of best practices and the identification of domain-specific requirements and reference scenarios for DENiM (Deliverable D3.1, Public).The initial design and specification of a digital maturity tool was also completed focusing on the industry sectors represented by the DENiM pilot sites with an emphasis on supporting energy efficiency.…
