Digital Product Passport
EU product passport regulations are coming. Build infrastructure that works for compliance and productivity.
CO₂ footprint, energy consumption, material origin—this is production data from your laser cutter, press brake, and welding robot. Build it right and you get visibility, AI-readiness, and compliance as a bonus.
Start the conversationThe wrong approach costs more than money
From 2026, the EU demands data on CO₂, material origin, and traceability. The standard response: an expensive ERP module or compliance tool.
The problem? This is production data. If you don't capture it at the source, you'll be filling in spreadsheets.
ERP doesn't know what's happening
Cycle times, energy per operation, material losses—that's not in your ERP.
Compliance tools without foundation
Reports based on assumptions. Technically compliant, useless for improvement.
Data silos multiply
Another system, another integration that breaks. No overview.
No control over your data
Your vendor decides what you export. SCSN integration? Extra work or impossible.
Smart companies build the right infrastructure once—for compliance, process improvement, and AI.
Data that works for compliance and your business
Every operation automatically captured. Cycle times, energy consumption, material flows—direct from the machine.
You see where energy is wasted. Where material loss occurs. Based on what actually happens.
The same data for compliance is what AI needs to improve your processes. You're building a production nervous system.
How I build this
Data infrastructure for product passport compliance with full control and immediate value.
Data inventory
What data do you need? What do you have? Where are the gaps?
UNS architecture
Unified Namespace collecting production data centrally. Open standards, no vendor lock-in.
Implementation
Connect sources, validate data, build dashboards. Results within weeks.
Integrations
Data to ERP, SCSN, customers. Everything from one source of truth.
Working method
- Weekly sessions with progress and demos
- Working results every two weeks
- Knowledge transfer to your team
- Implementation partners if needed
Advisory with direct implementation. No reports in a drawer.
Why the Unified Namespace
Compliance tools extract data from existing systems. Problem: those don't contain what you need.
The UNS flips this. Data is published at the source—every machine sends to one central hub.
What I structure
- Production data — cycle times, machine status, OEE
- Energy data — consumption per machine, order, product
- Material flows — input, output, loss, origin
- Traceability — material per product, operations performed
Event-driven: every event captured when it happens. Real-time data you can trust.
Your infrastructure. Open standards. Same data for compliance, AI, and customer reporting.
More than compliance
Immediately measurable benefits, separate from regulations.
Energy consumption visible
Per machine, per operation, per product. Identify and tackle waste.
Reliable CO₂ footprint
Based on measured data, not industry averages.
Complete traceability
From raw material to finished product. Who, when, which machine.
Supply chain integration
PCF messages to customers. SCSN from one data source.
AI-ready
Structured production data for future automation.
Control over your data
No vendor dependency. Your data, your choice.

Questions you probably have
Shouldn't I just buy a compliance module from my ERP?
You can—technically compliant. But the data is based on estimates, not reality. No foundation for process improvement or AI.
We don't have an IT department. Can we manage this?
You need someone who understands the system, not a developer. We ensure knowledge transfer. For technical work, we connect you with partners.
How long until we see results?
First data within 4-6 weeks. We work in short cycles with regular demos.
What if regulations change?
You're building flexible infrastructure. If requirements change, you adjust the output—not the whole solution.
How does this relate to the MES Accelerator?
MES Accelerator focuses on production visibility and paperless operations. This program focuses on product passport data. They can be combined.
Does this work with our existing machines?
Yes. The UNS approach is designed for mixed environments—old and new machines, different brands and protocols.
Production infrastructure, not compliance reports
15 years on shop floors across Europe. Seen companies spend fortunes on software nobody uses.
My approach: build the right infrastructure once for compliance, process improvement, and AI. No vendor lock-in. No dependency on me after the program.
Infrastructure that works—not just for compliance
Compliance as a bonus. Productivity as the goal. Control over your data.
