STUTTGART, Germany, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Makersite announces that Daikin Europe, European headquarters of air conditioning technology leader Daikin Industries, will make use of Makersite's AI-enabled product lifecycle intelligence software to enhance their European R&D process. The software will allow Daikin to establish a comprehensive approach to managing sustainability, cost, and compliance with regards to their product design.

Makersite's data foundation, an extensive database of compliance, cost, and environmental impact data, will enable Daikin to automate and scale LCAs for every new product, in turn supporting better product design and sourcing decisions.

By harmonizing data and automating these processes, Daikin is setting the stage for future advancements in ecodesign and sustainable product development.

"Daikin and Makersite both value sustainable product design, innovation, and sourcing," said Neil D'Souza, CEO and Founder of Makersite. "Integrating Daikin's product data with external supply chain databases within Makersite's unified data foundation prepares Daikin for the transition to ecodesign and sustainable product development, enhancing their competitive edge in the market."
