Standards and Testbeds for Sustainable Manufacturing

The principal objective of the project is to develop testbeds to validate the information standards and methods through testing in different sustainable manufacturing contexts.

To meet the project’s objective, the following activities will be undertaken:

• Develop a methodology for testbeds based on prior experiences at NIST and develop a reference testbed architecture.
• Test information standards that support carbon output reporting and carbon credit trading
• Test information standards that support recycling, reuse, or disposal of manufactured products
• Validate and test information models for sustainable design and manufacturing.
