Digital Life Cycle Engineering tools enable efficient and scientifically sound sustainability assessment throughout the entire product life cycle.
LCE tools for efficient sustainability assessments and automated workflows
Transparently assess and optimize environmental impacts
Implementing sustainability assessments efficiently and integrating them into business processes
Increasing regulatory requirements in the area of sustainability reporting necessitate the use of innovative tools and their integration into business processes. At the same time, the collection and processing of large volumes of data pose challenges for many companies. In particular, the assessment of complex product portfolios requires efficient methods and digital tools. There is therefore a need for life cycle engineering tools that automate LCAs, provide environmental metrics transparently, and specifically support sustainable product and process design.
Customized Life Cycle Engineering tools for informed decisions throughout the product life cycle
Fraunhofer IST possesses comprehensive expertise in Life Cycle Engineering. In addition to applying established tools for sustainability assessment, our proprietary software infrastructure enables flexible environmental assessment of product and process variations using parameterized LCE models. This allows life cycle assessments and other sustainability evaluations to be efficiently generated, environmental impacts to be transparently presented, and optimization potential to be identified at an early stage. The results are well-informed decisions throughout the product life cycle, reduced environmental impacts, and more sustainable product and process design. In addition, we provide support for integrating the assessment tools into existing workflows and offer customized training.
