Use-Cycle Intelligence_

how it works

Pentatonic builds digital twins of footwear products and materials, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse, connecting physical products with continuously evolving digital intelligence across multiple use cycles.

why this works

The physical intelligence that we create in use of how footwear is actually used, stressed, and worn by consumers; returned through in-store and at-home trade-in programmes; assessed, sorted, reused, refurbished, or recycled; and ultimately reintroduced into circular commerce flows.
