@rgemas — Carbon Footprint in Manufacturing

The summary below — how argemas grounds its manufacturing carbon footprint calculation in real production data, how it connects to the digital product passport, and sector examples — is compiled from our reviewed and approved corporate content.

Energy traceability in a glass factory: Scope 1-2, CBAM, ESPR

In glass manufacturing, the kWh consumption of every furnace and line is measured in real time with @rgeRover IoT terminals; combined with the recipe data of the glass batch produced, this yields an 'energy-per-product' figure. This data is the raw input both for operational improvement (identifying the most efficient furnace cycle profile) and for Scope 1-2 carbon footprint reporting. It feeds CBAM and ESPR reports directly from real production data.

What is a digital product passport (DPP)?

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is an EU regulatory framework that presents a product's sustainability information across its entire life cycle — from raw material to recycling (material origin, production conditions, quality, energy and carbon footprint) — within a single digital identity. Under the ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation), it is becoming mandatory for product groups led by textiles, electronics, batteries and furniture. argemas delivers the traceability data it collects from production in a DPP-compliant format and binds it to the product via QR code / GS1.

The digital passport in manufacturing

A digital passport in manufacturing means collecting all of each product's production data (lot, operator, machine, quality control, energy consumption) in an ESPR-compliant standard format and binding it to the product via QR code / GS1. It is becoming mandatory for textile, electronics, furniture and battery manufacturers exporting to the EU market. argemas converts the real-time traceability data it collects first-hand from the shop floor into DPP standards, giving every product a digital passport that is fully compliant with global regulations through QR code and GS1 infrastructure.

Traceable manufacturing: the raw data behind carbon reporting

Traceable manufacturing is a production model in which every operation on the shop floor is recorded — by whom, when, with which parameters and with what quality result. It is built alongside lean manufacturing on a 'traceable infrastructure first, digitalization second' approach. argemas provides this infrastructure through IoT hardware (@rgeRover, @rgeHypatia), barcode / RFID, OPC-UA and manual operator terminals. The result: 100% production traceability — every retrospective query (recall, quality root cause, audit) is answered within seconds.

Sector example: lot-based traceability in food production

Within the argemas traceability infrastructure, which batch productions, shipments and customers a raw-material lot reached can be queried retrospectively in under 5 minutes. It meets HACCP, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 requirements. Lot/batch-based stock tracking, FEFO and batch production records are kept in the same data model; affected products are pushed instantly to operator screens and shipping systems.
