Reference Battery Industry - Digital Product Pass

For over 40 years, SEINE Battery Systems has been a trusted partner for industrial battery systems and energy storage solutions. The company covers a significant portion of the value chain—from development and production to operation, service, refurbishment, and recycling.

With the new EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, the Digital Battery Passport will become mandatory for industrial batteries (over 2 kWh), LMT, and EV batteries starting February 2027. SEINE chose a different path: early integration instead of last-minute compliance.

Fulfill the legal requirements of the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 proactively and securely.

Avoid introducing the battery passport in isolation—instead, deeply integrate it into production and IT systems.

Collect data now to ensure seamless retrieval by 2027—without additional effort

Leverage the battery passport to drive efficiency, service quality, and the circular economy

Lay the foundation for second-life, take-back, and recycling models

Establish a direct service channel on the product itself

Minimize media disruptions between production, sales, service, and IT

Early Production and IT Integration

Each battery receives a unique digital identity in the form of a QR or NFC code as early as the packaging or module assembly stage.

Production, testing, and quality data is captured close to the source and automatically transferred to the digital battery passport.

Standardized Data Connection

Narravero connects ERP, MES, PLM, and QMS systems, as well as supplier data, via standardized connectors. This includes:

- Material composition
- CO₂ footprint
- Safety and recycling parameters
- Production and quality data in line with the EU Battery Regulation

Role-based Access & Audit Trail

- Tailored views for end customers, service providers, partners, and authorities
- Audit-proof storage with a complete audit trail
- Data provided at the precise level of granularity required for regulatory or operational needs

Gradual Rollout

- Begin with a streamlined battery passport covering only critical mandatory fields
- Expand successively to achieve full regulatory compliance by 2027
- A controlled, scalable rollout—not a big-bang project

The implementation of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) at COR clearly shows how digitalization and sustainability can go hand in hand. By working with Narravero, COR was able to realize several concrete added values:

1. transparency and sustainability:
With the DPP, all relevant information on materials, origin and take-back scenarios can be provided digitally. This gives customers a clear overview of the sustainability of the products, while COR reliably meets compliance requirements at the same time.

2. process optimization and internal efficiency:
Integration into the existing ERP system means that data is automatically maintained and synchronized. This reduces redundant work steps, minimizes sources of error and ensures that all departments - from sales to production - work with consistent information.

3. strengthening the brand and customer communication:
The Digital Product Passport enables COR to make its own pioneering role in the furniture industry visible. NFC integration and new digital touchpoints actively address customers and support communication via modern channels such as social media. This complements traditional print media and increases the reach and relevance of the brand.

4. future-proof product strategy:
With the DPP, COR's product portfolio will become even more "circular". Return scenarios, recycling options and resource-saving manufacturing processes are made visible and form the basis for a sustainable, future-oriented product strategy.

5. internal acceptance and cooperation:
Workshops, regular jour fixes and a transparent roadmap enabled all stakeholders to be involved at an early stage. This led to a high level of internal acceptance and ensured that the DPP was effectively implemented and supported in all areas of the company.

Conclusion:
With the Digital Product Passport, COR has created a solution that offers real added value for customers, employees and the company itself. The project shows how digitalization not only makes processes more efficient, but also makes sustainability measurable, communicable and strategically useful for the brand.
