The BioReCer ICT Tool represents a comprehensive digital ecosystem that addresses one of the most pressing challenges facing bio-based industries today: ensuring transparent, verifiable sustainability and traceability of biological feedstocks throughout complex supply chains. From fishery by-products and agricultural residues to urban sewage sludge and forestry biomass, the platform enables stakeholders to track, assess, and certify their bio-based value chains with unprecedented precision.
“The BIT platform demonstrates EGM’s core expertise in transforming complex data into actionable strategic decisions,” explains Romain Magnani, Lead Developer at EGM. “By leveraging our know-how in semantic data modeling and interoperable architectures, we’ve created a tool that empowers bio-based industries to demonstrate their sustainability credentials while facilitating compliance with evolving EU regulations.”

At the heart of the BioReCer platform lies EGM’s innovative implementation of the NGSI-LD European standard, a next-generation approach to data interoperability that sets the BIT apart from conventional tracking systems.

What Makes NGSI-LD Revolutionary?
The NGSI-LD (Next Generation Service Interfaces for Linked Data) standard enables the platform to organize data as a knowledge graph — a sophisticated structure where entities, attributes, and relationships create a dynamic, interconnected representation of entire supply chains. This approach delivers several critical advantages:
1. Seamless Interoperability Unlike proprietary data formats that lock information into isolated silos, NGSI-LD ensures that data can be seamlessly exchanged between different systems, platforms, and stakeholders. This standardized approach facilitates efficient data integration across the entire bio-based ecosystem — from biomass producers to processors, manufacturers, certification bodies, and consumers.
2. Real-Time Contextual Intelligence The BioReCer platform doesn’t just store static data; it maintains context-rich information that is automatically updated in real-time. Every product, transformation, transportation event, and sustainability metric is contextualized in time, space, and in relation to other supply chain elements, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions based on current, accurate information.
3. Comprehensive Supply Chain Visibility The knowledge graph architecture allows the platform to track complex relationships throughout multi-tier supply chains. Stakeholders can trace biological feedstocks from their origin through multiple transformation processes, transportation routes, and storage locations, providing complete transparency that is essential for certification and regulatory compliance.
4. Future-Proof Scalability Built on open standards and modular architecture, the NGSI-LD approach ensures that the platform can evolve with changing industry needs, integrate new data sources, and expand to additional sectors without requiring fundamental redesign.

The BioReCer ICT Tool integrates multiple advanced technologies orchestrated by EGM into a cohesive, user-friendly platform:

The foundation of the platform’s data management capabilities, Stellio handles real-time data provisioning, contextual insights, and secure data access control, ensuring that stakeholders can access the information they need while maintaining appropriate privacy and security boundaries.
– Apache NIFI Integration
This component enables automated data acquisition from diverse external sources, including IoT sensors, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and regulatory databases. By automating data flows, the platform reduces manual data entry burden while improving accuracy and timeliness.
– TwinPicks Administration Interface
Developed by EGM, this sophisticated administration tool features guided provisioning modules that simplify the complex process of creating properly structured NGSI-LD entities. Through dynamic forms and intuitive workflows, even users without deep technical expertise can manage supply chain data effectively.
– BITAdvisor Decision Support System
This robust module offers industry and product scoring, compliance assessments, and strategic recommendations based on sustainability and circularity requirements. Companies can conduct self-assessments to understand their certification readiness and identify improvement opportunities.
– Who Benefits from the NGSI-LD Approach?
The BioReCer platform’s advanced interoperability delivers concrete value across multiple stakeholder categories:

Other Territories and Companies Considering Similar Solutions
The NGSI-LD approach pioneered in the BioReCer platform offers a replicable model for any region or company seeking to implement transparent, interoperable sustainability tracking systems. Whether managing agricultural supply chains, industrial waste valorization, or complex multi-jurisdictional product flows, the standardized data architecture ensures that solutions can be adapted and scaled efficiently without rebuilding from scratch.
