Enhancing Industrial Sustainability Through Digital Innovation
Viridiance Insights is a spin-off company of the Technical University of Crete, established and powered by researchers from the Industrial and Digital Innovations Research Group (indigo).
Powered by indigo & the Technical University of Crete
indigo is a multi-disciplinary research group of over 20 researchers — faculty, postdocs, PhD candidates, and engineers — working on industrial and digital innovation. It provides the scientific foundation of Viridiance Insights, translating research results into industrial-grade software.
The Technical University of Crete is a research-intensive public institution in Chania, with state-of-the-art laboratories and internationally recognised faculty across engineering and environmental sciences.
What we deliver inside EU projects
Six service lines, each grounded in a named work-package deliverable and backed by our own software.
We build mass- and energy-balance models of discrete industrial processes and full value chains, from raw material intake through production, use, and recycling — the reference model every later service reuses.
The validated model is published as a cloud digital twin, wired to plant telemetry so it mirrors the real asset continuously — available for monitoring, anomaly detection, and what-if testing without plant downtime.
We translate a site or consortium sustainability strategy into a scorecard structure — perspectives, objectives, indicators, and targets — fed automatically from model and telemetry data rather than manual spreadsheets.
Life-cycle inventories are derived from the same process model, so impact results move with actual operating conditions instead of a single static snapshot — attributional or consequential, with documented method notes.
Project results are turned into decision material: a documented evidence base of what the intervention achieved, and a replication roadmap showing how it transfers to other sites, sectors, or regions.
Value-chain data and model-derived KPIs are recorded on a distributed ledger and published as an EU-compliant passport page, so product claims can be verified by customers, auditors, and regulators.
