Polyamide Composition Passport for Transparent Environmental Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In complex supply chains, achieving transparency about the environmental impact of polyamide composition production is challenging due to the complexity of the systems and lack of transparency between value chain participants.
Innovation Solution
A system is developed that produces polyamide compositions associated with a polyamide composition passport or digital asset. This system includes a chemical production network that produces polyamide compositions from input materials through chemical processes, and a production operating apparatus that generates a decentral identifier linked to environmental attributes of the input materials and chemical processes, creating a digital asset that tracks environmental impact.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a digital tracking system is implemented to improve transparency of environmental impact data, then information transparency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates digital copies (digital twins) of physical polyamide composition batches through decentralized identifiers and environmental attribute data. These digital representations track environmental impact information without requiring complex physical monitoring infrastructure, resolving the contradiction by using information copies rather than complex physical tracking systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces blockchain technology and decentralized identifier systems as intermediary layers between production systems and consumers. This intermediary infrastructure enables transparent environmental attribute tracking while maintaining system modularity and avoiding direct complex integration between all supply chain participants
2Measurement precision
If environmental attributes are tracked for each batch of polyamide composition, then measurement precision of environmental impact is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments environmental attribute tracking into discrete, batch-specific decentralized identifier records. Each polyamide composition batch receives its own digital identity with associated environmental attributes, enabling precise tracking without requiring a monolithic complex system. The segmentation allows independent verification and management of each batch's environmental data
