Scalable data architecture model for the implementation of the Digital Product Passport in complex industrialized construction systems

OBJECTIVES

  • Analyze how product information is currently structured in industrialized solutions: technical barriers, documentation gaps, regulatory constraints, and interoperability needs.
  • Investigate the optimal levels of data granularity (product, functional systems, components, and materials) to ensure traceability throughout the life cycle.
  • Define a data governance model: standardization, version control, minimum information requirements, and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved.
  • Integrate information from multiple suppliers, reducing document fragmentation.
  • Validate the model in a highly complex case: an industrialized bathroom module as a test case, with potential for application to other systems.

WORK PHASES

The project is structured into five work packages, covering everything from coordination and initial analysis to the design of the data architecture and the conceptual validation of the model.

  • WP1. MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION. 

    Project planning, technical monitoring, and coordination to ensure the proper integration of activities and results, as well as the transfer of the knowledge generated to the sector.

  • WP2. CONCEPTUAL AND REGULATORY RESEARCH. 

    Analysis of the regulatory, technical, and methodological framework of the Digital Product Passport, with the aim of identifying the information requirements applicable to complex industrialized construction systems.

    This phase is essential for understanding the regulatory constraints and information needs that the model must address, laying the groundwork for the subsequent design of a data architecture consistent with emerging requirements.

  • WP3. DATA ARCHITECTURE. 

    Design and modeling of a scalable data architecture that enables the information of complex industrialized products to be structured, defining criteria for granularity, interoperability, and the integration of technical and environmental information.

  • WP4. DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT METHODOLOGY. 

    Development of a methodological model for configuring the DPP, including data governance rules, standardization criteria, and information integration mechanisms.

  • WP5. CONCEPTUAL VALIDATION. 

    Assessment of the model through its conceptual application to a complex industrialized construction system, using a bathroom module as a use case to evaluate its consistency, feasibility, and potential applicability to other solutions.

EXPECTED RESULTS

  • Methodological framework and information criteria for the Digital Product Passport in construction.
  • Data architecture model for complex kit-based industrialized products, together with an interoperability framework and data granularity guidelines.
  • DPP governance manual and data standardization and integration rules compatible with existing systems.
  • Conceptual model validation report and analysis of its applicability to other types of industrialized solutions.
