The DDCC aims to advance three defined Industry 4.0 technologies: firstly, the automatic identification of physical objects (IEC 61406) using a globally unique serial number that can be read, for example, via a QR code, secondly digital manufacturer information (VDI 2770) such as product specifications and documentation, and thirdly digital information exchange platforms for providing the current data for a clearly defined object.
These technologies should also help to fulfill the system requirements of the “Digital Product Passport” (DPP), which will be introduced in the EU in the medium term. The DDCC activities are supported by important industry associations such as ZVEI, VDMA and NAMUR.
