Unsaturated Compound Passports for Environmental Attribute Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In complex chemical supply chains, achieving transparency in the environmental impact of unsaturated compounds across value chain participants is challenging due to the complexity of the systems and the lack of effective tracking mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A system is developed that produces unsaturated compounds associated with an unsaturated compound passport or digital asset. This system includes a chemical production network that tracks environmental attributes of input materials and chemical processes, and a production operating apparatus that generates a decentral identifier linked to these attributes, creating a digital asset that provides transparent environmental impact data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If complex chemical production networks are used to produce unsaturated compounds, then productivity and application range are improved, but transparency of environmental impact data deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates digital copies (passports) of unsaturated compounds that contain environmental impact data. These digital passports are attached to physical compounds and can be tracked through the supply chain, preserving environmental information even as compounds are transformed through multiple production stages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (digital passport infrastructure) that mediates between the complex chemical production network and the need for environmental transparency. This intermediary layer captures, standardizes, and transmits environmental data through the production network without disrupting chemical processes.
2Ease of operation
If traditional tracking mechanisms are used in chemical supply chains, then ease of operation is maintained, but measurement precision of environmental attributes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters of environmental data representation by using standardized digital formats in passports. This allows environmental attributes to be captured with higher precision (specific measurements, calculations, and certifications) while maintaining ease of operation through automated digital tracking systems.
3Reliability
If decentralized identifier systems are implemented, then reliability of environmental data is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the environmental tracking system into independent digital passports for each unsaturated compound batch. Each passport is a self-contained unit with its own decentralized identifier, allowing reliable tracking without requiring a monolithic complex system. The segmentation enables modular implementation and reduces overall system complexity.
