The ENCIRCLE Project
ENCIRCLE proposes a novel framework for environmental impact assessment via Digital Twins and Soft Sensors, incorporated in a virtual production line. Utilizing this virtual environment as a simulation and training space for AI, ENCIRCLE aims to:
- Decarbonize manufacturing, searching for sustainable production configurations and designs that reduce environmental footprint without compromising quality.
- Train workforce through gamification, cultivating new skills and fostering a new circular mindset.
- Follow a human-centered design and propose a symbiotic ecosystem of humans and AI through explainable Human-in-the-Loop methodologies.
