TRACID brings product information management and traceability for the complete life cycle

 Whilst the EU regulations for Digital Product Passports has been agreed, specific information requirements are still under development for each product category.  To ensure our solution is futureproof for EU regulations, our software has system flexibility to tailor the information that can be deployed in our product information portal, in terms of product characteristics, descriptions, and documents. We also closely follow the future legal requirements for manufacturers.

 Our technology allows for deploying Decentralised Identifier (DID) web technology in authenticating organisations and product information, for added security over centralised identifiers like emails or usernames. Access can be provided only to partners with a digital certificate which is verified using a cryptographic process, to create digital trust in working with partners across the life cycle. The solution also extends to sensitive information to ensure tamper-proof data security. Blockchain solutions can also be introduced to further ensure immutability as needed.   

 To support customers we are investing strongly in interoperability in our technology for exchanging information. Needed to support interoperability with future consumer mobile APPs for Digital Product Passports, reduce the risk of vendor lock-in, and enable modern cloud micro-services communications with a wide range of service providers and partners IT systems.   

Our interoperability capabilities allow us to manage product information in specific data formats linked to manufacturer ERP and PLM systems and supply chain data solutions, such as the Partnership for Carbon Transparency standard for exchanging Scope 3 emissions data across value chains.  

 As part of our investment we are collaborating with 50 organisations in the EU funded CIRPASS-2 project that seeks to solve the problem of ensure a common Digital Product Passport system for all industries compliant to future regulations. We are closely following the upcoming EU DPP system development including information standards under development by CEN-CENELEC JTC24 and other standardisation committees. To be ready to interface with the central Digital Product Passport registration portal planned for launch by the EU commission in 2026,  where TRACID DPPs will need to be registered alongside those of other vendors.
