CORA

Circular Operations for Resource Assessment

A data optimization platform for trustworthy data

OVERVIEW

Instead of producing carbon data separately,the data the plant already emits is brought up to standard

It starts by setting out what is emitted, where and how much, in a form that can be measured.

KEY CAPABILITIES

Four capabilities that make up the carbon data pipeline

From the data inventory through infrastructure and integrated collection to AAS-based interoperability.

Carbon Data Capability

01 / 04

01

Building a data inventory

We systematically identify and catalog the location, form and character of the company's internal data assets. Beyond simply gathering data, we clearly define what data exists where, and how it should be used, for carbon emission accounting and production efficiency optimization.

Management Scope

  • Unit definition
  • Process flow
  • Data catalog
  • System boundary
  • Governance design
Data inventory screen

Data inventory

Every data asset in the organisation is located, listed and its state recorded.

Four capabilities connected as a single carbon data flow.

ARCHITECTURE PROCESS

Build process

From preparation to data exchange, and what each stage leaves behind.

  1. Preparation and infrastructure survey

    • Customer requirements confirmed
    • Equipment and network inspected
    • Compatibility with existing systems checked

  2. Data inventory definition

    • Target products and processes identified
    • Inputs and outputs listed
    • Manufacturing and utilities separated

  3. Infrastructure build and data collection

    • Layout documented and sensors installed
    • Communication protocols standardised
    • Data collection and monitoring

  4. Data exchange and access control

    • Data converted for the platform
    • AAS model access scope set
    • Client whitelist registered

EFFECT

Business impact

What it leaves behind — in cost, reporting time, regulatory readiness and staffing effort.

BUSINESS OUTCOME

Scattered emissions data,turned into evidence you can submit

COST

Cost savings

System boundary, infrastructure and the AAS conversion engine are put in place in one go, brought in-house as a lasting capability, and a new regulation is met by extending what exists rather than reinvesting.

Scope of build · in-house capability · reinvestment

TIME

Less time spent aggregating data and writing reports

Integrated infrastructure shortens data collection, regulatory reports are issued faster, and the hours spent on manual, repetitive administration fall away.

Collection time · issuing speed · manual work

RULE

Regulatory response capability

Heavy carbon tax penalties are avoided, revenue lost by being dropped from a supply chain is prevented, and damages from customs and delivery delays are headed off.

Penalties · lost revenue · delay damages

CREW

In-house specialist workload

The pressure to hire environmental specialists eases, rework spent correcting data errors shrinks, and resources for smart-factory upgrades are freed.

Hiring pressure · rework · upgrade resources

Build CORA and export carbon data on an international standard

Collecting carbon data is easy. Making it defensible is not.

We review your emission sources and calculation basis, and design data that survives verification.
