Comment:
The JOIN'EM project aimed to develop innovative methods for joining dissimilar metals to improve the manufacturing of new products, increase product reliability, and reduce maintenance costs. The project focused on the use of the environmentally friendly EMW process, which does not require fluxes or shielding gases and produces no harmful smoke, fumes, or slag. One important aspect of the project is to establish a standard for EMW, which will provide a consensus on terminology, health and safety issues, acceptance levels, and weld defects. The project conducted a comprehensive search of existing standards related to EMW and also identified potential topics for future standards, such as imperfections, acceptance levels, welding procedure specifications, and health and safety issues. Another important aspect of the project is the examination and testing of EMW joints to ensure the quality of the welds. The project used both destructive and non-destructive tests to evaluate the joints and detailed information about the testing methods was be provided in the project D5.1 "Report with specifications of the joint characterisation methods for the defined joint types." The project will also provide information on the range of qualifications, including the parent materials to be welded and the parameters common to all welding procedures.
The JOIN’EM project focused on investigating the welding of dissimilar materials. As part of this effort, a search was conducted to identify existing standards related to dissimilar materials welding. The standards that were identified include EN ISO 15607, EN ISO 15614-1, EN ISO 15614-5, EN ISO 15614-8, EN 287-1, ISO 15610:2003, EN ISO 9606-2, and EN ISO 9606-3. These standards provide definitions for dissimilar materials joints, as well as specifications for testing and evaluating the quality of such joints. For example, EN ISO 15607 defines a dissimilar material joint as “a welded joint in which the parent materials have significant differences in mechanical properties and/or chemical composition.” EN ISO 15614-1, EN ISO 15614-5, and EN ISO 15614-8 provide guidelines for transverse tensile testing, bend testing, and hardness testing of dissimilar materials joints. EN 287-1, ISO 15610:2003, EN ISO 9606-2, and EN ISO 9606-3 provide guidelines for the range of qualification for dissimilar materials joints. The standards also provide information on what types of dissimilar materials joints are permitted. For example, EN ISO 15607 permits any dissimilar material joints, while EN ISO 15614-1, EN ISO 15614-5, and EN ISO 15614-8 allow for specific types of dissimilar materials joints, such as those between austenitic and ferritic steels. It is important to note that these standards are guidelines and not mandatory rules. It's always important to review and consult the specific standard for more details and to ensure that the welding procedure follows it.

Comment:
The DigiPrime project aims to address the issue of poor data and knowledge exchange among value chain stakeholders and sectors, which hinders cross-sectoral circular economy opportunities and limits the uptake of reusable materials by end customers. To solve this problem, the project is developing a digital platform concept that aims to overcome the current information asymmetry among value chain stakeholders. The project's main goal is to unlock new circular business models by focusing on the data-enhanced recovery and reuse of functions and materials from high-value-added post-use products as the foundation of its platform.
To achieve this, the project has planned standardization activities that cover two complementary aspects:
- Utilizing existing standards, such as those related to data modelling, to support the project's implementation activities and avoid duplicating effort during development; and
- Influencing future standardization in the circular economy as a means to increase visibility and maximize the overall impact of the project.
By doing so, the project aims to promote consistency in the circular economy and improve the efficiency of data and knowledge exchange among value chain stakeholders.

Comment:
Volunteers from FEUP, CERTH, and UNI collaborated to compile all the technical and standard data for the formulation of the technical specification based on the specifications specified by the pilots' leaders. A full explanation of the use cases and the machines involved in the refurbishment, remanufacturing, and retrofitting during the RECLAIM project has been developed using the needs that were determined during the information gathering phase. The matrix of requirements for the identification of the prospective issues to be the challenge at the RECLAIM project has been finished by the industrial partners Gorenje, Fluchos, Podium, Harms & Wende, and Zorlutek. The demand and gap in the standardised field were included in these matrices, which is a crucial factor to consider the technical solution in the future. UNI carried out the standardised analysis plan from the input data given by other partners involved in this endeavour.
The main standardisation gaps to be considered during the RECLAIM project were: Monitoring Sensors: Alignment verification, quality and density of water pipeline, energy consumption of the furnace, real time monitoring; Predictive Maintenance: Definition of standards to predict shutdown; Human Error: Need of standardized procedure to record spare parts.

Comment:
The CircThread initiative aims to establish a circular digital thread methodology that grants access to all data pertaining to a product, including information on its components, age, and cost. This allows for the flow of information throughout the entire life cycle of the product, its components, materials, and chemicals. By providing this enhanced information, the project aims to empower individuals and companies involved in the repair, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling of products to make more informed decisions. The group is working towards creating one or more standardisable solutions and possibly a CWA (Certified Welding Analyst) to provide guidelines for a comprehensive product-related circular digital thread. Presently, products have a shorter lifespan, and the cost of a new product is often cheaper than repair. Furthermore, there is a lack of proper collection and recycling of appliances. The CircThread initiative seeks to utilize existing product-related information to enhance circularity and reduce carbon emissions. At present, much of this information is inaccessible as it is stored by various organizations and individuals across different phases of a product's life cycle. The goal of CircThread is to provide unified access to this information and enable the flow of information throughout the extended life cycle chain of products, their components, materials and chemicals.
From the outset, it was evident to all technology partners and the National Standards Body (NSB) that incorporating existing standards into the new information platform would greatly improve its efficiency and functionality. Furthermore, they would ensure that the information provided is of high quality and is able to interoperate with other technologies already in the market. The variety of use cases for existing standards necessitated the creation of a dedicated standardization work package (WP). Approximately one-third of partners are involved in this WP. It is important to recognize that many existing standards can be used to improve the new information platform, ensure information quality and support interoperability. This is why the project team set up a dedicated Standardization Work Package, with many partners are involved in it.

Comment:
The Z-Break solution uses a variety of communication protocols. HTTP, OPC-UA, IEEE 802.15.4e and IEC WirelessHART. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. OPC UA supports two protocols. The binary protocol is opc.tcp://Server and http://Server is for Web Service. Otherwise OPC UA works completely transparent to the API. IEEE 802.15.4 is a technical standard which defines the operation of low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). It specifies the physical layer and media access control for LR-WPANs, and is maintained by the IEEE 802.15 working group, which defined the standard in 2003. WirelessHART is a wireless sensor networking technology based on the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol (HART). Developed as a multi-vendor, interoperable wireless standard, WirelessHART was defined for the requirements of process field device networks. Also, it uses the NGSI protocol. NGSI is a protocol developed to manage Context Information. It provides operations like managing the context information about context entities, for example the lifetime and quality of information and access (query, subscribe/notify) to the available context Information about context Entities.
INTEGRADDE | Intelligent data-driven pipeline for the manufacturing of certified metal parts through Direct Energy Deposition processes

Comment:
The major goal of INTEGRADDE was to develop a novel end-to-end solution capable of demonstrating the potential of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes for the manufacturing of certified large metal components in strategic metalworking sectors. The project is focused on additive manufacturing, specifically laser metal deposition. This technology requires validation, and the compatibility of various pieces in the manufacturing process must be verified under real-world situations. Standardization, therefore, has great significance. The case study demonstrates the need for adequate planning of resources for standardisation as well as the requirement to provide project partners who are unfamiliar with standards and standardisation with training. Two obstacles stand out: first, the distinct nature and timetables of standardisation processes from those of research, and second, the apparent conflict between IP protection and the requirement for openness during the standardisation process. Nevertheless, the use of standards/standardisation seeks to help increase quality and reliability in the specific AM process.

In FALCON, current standards work will be taken into account and used when applicable. This includes normative standards as set by ISO and its national bodies which are of high importance to industrial companies. Additionally, standards proposed by some of the major influential de-facto standardization bodies like The Open Group, W3C, OASIS, and OMG will be assessed and added to our architectural framework. We will cooperate with major relevant commercial players, many of them already included in the FALCON consortium to establish joint standardization activities.
At the architecture level, FALCON will endeavor to standardize communication protocols, data exchange formats, data exchange interfaces. At the content level, ontologies should be standardized, general / vertical, and domain-specific ontologies. We foresee first de facto standardization, driven by technology pick up from interested parties, supported by publicity and dissemination activities (e.g., W3C member submissions), supported then by founding or joining initiatives within OASIS for specific content vocabularies. The Open Group is a vendor- and technology-neutral consortium, whose vision of Boundary less Information Flow™ will enable access to integrated information within and between enterprises based on open standards and global interoperability. Standards for the sharing and reuse of lifecycle data, information and knowledge based on results developed in FALCON. The standards will be promoted through the Internet of Things (ITO) work group (www.opengroup.org/iot/). Several FALCON partners are among the initiators and main drivers of this work group.
