STELLA - Digital Transformation of Swedish Furniture Industry through Advanced Digital Value Chains

Purpose and goal

The project will facilitate the digitization of the Swedish furniture industry through interoperable, transparent digital value chains. Through the development of a blockchain-based Digitalt Produktpass (DPP), along with the integration of IoT technologies, the project will validate data traceability, integrity, ownership and data governance. The implementation of this will ensure compliance with upcoming EU laws, improve sustainability and stimulate innovation in the furniture industry.

Expected effects and result

The project will upgrade and validate DPP prototypes from the APPEND project and create a blockchain-based ecosystem for the Swedish furniture industry, which will ensure traceability, integrity and governance. The project will build mechanisms for secure data tracking throughout the product´s life cycle, facilitate integration and promote sustainability. The goal is to raise the TRL level of DPP from 5 to 9 within a year, in line with Agenda 2030 circular economy and resource efficeincy.

Planned approach and implementation

• Strategic planning: Stakeholder analysis, project planning and requirements specification for business and technology needs. • Technical development: Design and implementation of the DPP platform, test scenarios and decentralized ecosystem. • Implementation: System customization, API development, protocol standardization and training materials. • Quality assurance: Data analysis and UX/UI optimization. • Market establishment: Strategic communication and knowledge dissemination.
