RadarLab has partnered with SATO to launch a support service for the implementation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs). The service is designed to help companies move beyond understanding regulatory requirements and develop practical systems covering on-site identification and labeling operations through to data infrastructure.
DPP requirements are growing as rules about product tracking being kind to the environment and using resources over and again are changing in Europe and Japan. In Europe battery passports will probably be required starting in February 2027. The European Union is also making rules about DPPs as part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. In Japan projects like the Ouranos Ecosystem are helping make product journeys more open and making sure resources are used again.
A DPP needs parts of product details like what the product is, who made it what it is made of, how good it is for the planet and where it has been.. This data is often in different places like ERP systems, PLM systems and MES systems as well as in Excel files and papers given by other companies. Some data, like what chemicalsre in it and what materials are recycled might be with suppliers or companies that do work for others.
RadarLab has done projects that connect data for the Ouranos Ecosystem DATA-EX testbeds through the Data Society Alliance and global rules about data. In 2025 the company did a DPP test, with SATO and other companies showing that it is possible to link data from when productsre made taken apart and recycled. The new service uses what was learned from that work.
Under the partnership, SATO will contribute its expertise in on-site identification and labeling, while RadarLab will provide expertise in DPP requirements and data infrastructure design. The companies will work together to develop implementation plans that can be applied to actual business operations.
The service has five parts. First the companies will gather data from places like ERP, PLM, MES, Excel and external contractors. They will map out how that data is organized and shown. Then they will check if on-site ID methods like barcodes, 2D codes and RFID work. They’ll look at how labelsre made how scanning is done and what to do when something goes wrong.
Next they will compare what they have with DPP requirements. They’ll find out who has each piece of optional data and if that data can actually be collected. After that they will create rules, for how IDsre designed how detailed the data should be and how supply chain data is shared.
Lastly they will suggest what to do. This could be tests using data the company already has or bigger plans that need new data systems built.

The results will be compiled into a DPP Implementation Analysis Report. For a small-scale implementation focused on selected products, the companies state that the report can be completed in approximately one month, providing an assessment of the company’s current position and areas that need to be addressed before moving toward a proof of concept or full implementation.
The service is initially intended for industries expected to be affected by DPP regulations, including automotive, steel, aluminum, furniture, apparel and textiles, and consumer electronics. RadarLab also plans to apply the partnership’s expertise to broader manufacturing challenges involving chemical-substance regulations and recycled-material traceability.
RadarLab develops Meguru-X, a data infrastructure platform designed to enable secure and continuous data sharing using data-space technologies. The company said it will continue working with SATO to support companies as DPP requirements develop and to use knowledge from its international standards and proof-of-concept activities to help Japanese manufacturers prepare for regulatory requirements in global markets.
