Sustainable Enterprises: How praqtics Shapes the Future of Infosim®

January 13th 2025, Würzburg
 

Sustainability has become a key factor in achieving corporate success and fulfilling social responsibility.

The Infosim® Group embraces this approach with innovative technologies and solutions, aiming to lead the way in sustainable business practices. A key pillar of this strategy is praqtics, a cutting-edge platform developed at Infosim’s Circular Innovation Lab.

This article explores the unique features of praqtics, its integration within the Infosim® Group’s structure, and its synergies with other sustainability initiatives such as SKOOR.

praqtics: A Platform for Circular Innovation

The challenges of transitioning to a circular economy, especially in the plastics industry, demand urgent action from businesses. Under the European Union’s Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP), ambitious targets have been set to significantly increase recycling rates, minimize waste, and promote material reuse by 2030. Central to achieving these objectives is the Digital Product Passport, which aims to enhance transparency throughout the lifecycle of materials and act as a key driver for sustainable production.

praqtics offers robust, data-driven solutions to tackle these challenges head-on. By enabling companies to monitor, analyze, and optimize their material flows, the platform ensures processes align with regulatory frameworks such as CEAP while advancing operational efficiency. Businesses can collect and process data on raw material sources, production workflows, and recycling opportunities, paving the way for more sustainable practices.

praqtics’ interface: Finding plastic type specific recycling solutions
A standout feature of praqtics is its integration of a Knowledge Graph. This advanced tool maps the intricate relationships between materials, processes, and stakeholders within the supply chain. By employing semantic analysis, the Knowledge Graph helps to explore previously hidden insights and enhances decision-making. For the plastics industry, which deals with diverse material types and recycling methodologies, this feature is invaluable. It empowers businesses to meet recycling targets, develop forward-looking production models, and contribute to a truly circular economy.

The plastics sector, where recycling rates often fall short of regulatory benchmarks, particularly benefits from praqtics. By incorporating principles like reuse and waste reduction, the platform supports companies in designing products for circularity while ensuring compliance with legal standards. Its scalability and adaptability make it suitable for enterprises of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations.

With its intuitive interface, powerful data infrastructure, and groundbreaking tools such as the Knowledge Graph, praqtics not only boosts economic efficiency but also actively drives the achievement of global sustainability goals.

praqtics in the Context of the Infosim® Group

praqtics is a cornerstone of the Infosim® Group’s sustainability strategy. Developed within the Circular Innovation Lab, this platform leverages the company’s extensive expertise in network infrastructure and data management. With praqtics, the Infosim® Group aims to merge economic efficiency with environmental sustainability by providing businesses with data-driven tools to optimize processes and foster a circular economy.

A significant advantage lies in the integration of praqtics with other sustainability solutions offered by the Infosim® Group, particularly SKOOR. While praqtics focuses on utilizing data to optimize production processes, SKOOR delivers tools for ESG reporting (Environmental, Social, Governance). This synergy enables companies not only to implement sustainable improvements but also to measure and transparently communicate their progress. And with StableNet®, network and service management helps balance performance and resource efficiency for true optimization.

By utilizing praqtics, businesses can develop sustainable material flows and future-proof their production strategies. SKOOR complements this approach by documenting these achievements and preparing them for both internal and external stakeholders. Together, these solutions create a holistic framework that integrates environmental, social, and economic sustainability goals.

The collaboration between praqtics and SKOOR is continuously evolving to unlock new opportunities in the field of sustainability.

Conclusion: Infosim® as a Partner for a Sustainable Future

praqtics exemplifies the Infosim® Group’s commitment to sustainability. Together with SKOOR, StableNet®, and other initiatives, the platform demonstrates how technological innovations can support businesses on their journey toward a more sustainable future.

With its focus on the circular economy and data-driven decision-making, the Infosim® Group provides tools and solutions that facilitate the transition to a more sustainable economy. Companies pursuing this path will find in Infosim® not only cutting-edge technologies but also a reliable partner.
