List of winners
NovelSense is a partner of DEUS, Europe's largest climate and environmental measurement grid, which uses modular sensors to measure traffic, CO2, PM2.5, PM10, VOC, weather, and more. NovelSense has created ABAKUS.AI, a real-time edge AI traffic monitoring and control solution. This project will be a step beyond in the current stationary architecture to NEPHELE.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are fast and cost-effective solutions for logistics, but they need more flexibility in handling heterogeneous loads and individual or global disturbances. SWARMEON will enhance the cooperative capabilities of the swarm. The project will develop a VO as a virtual counterpart of each AMR and a cVO for joining the information of the AMR swarm.
SWIM will develop a distributed infrastructure for water plant monitoring, maintenance and leaks detection by using IoT sensors, edge devices, and analytics and AI-based algorithms.
VOGrid Real will digitalise transformers using Linc’s scalable IoT hardware and real-time analytics to provide predictive maintenance and enhanced grid management. The system will track electrical, thermal and vibrational data using NEPHELE’s Virtual Object (VO) and Composite Virtual Object (cVO) framework to create digital twins of transformers, optimising performance and preventing failures.
H3NI integrates Hop3 orchestration platform with NEPHELE and enables dynamic scaling, compute offloading, live migration and AI/ML workflow management. It addresses industries such as healthcare, smart cities, logistics and energy.
Headlight is an AI-enabled and context-aware orchestration mechanism to support NEPHELE. The mechanism get a holistic view of the system thanks to a graph-based composite architecture.
DROP aims to develop a distributed resource offloading mechanism leveraging the vAccel framework for ESP32-based IoT devices. It will enable real-time processing capabilities for resource-constrained devices while reducing latency and improving system efficiency. It will foster innovation in logistics, smart home and industrial automation.
AIoTGuard
AIoT app for accident prevention in logistic plant
Secmotic Innovation, S. L.
AIoTGuard is a solution for safety logistics environments by preventing accidents between pedestrians and forklifts. The system integrates AI-powered computer vision models with low-latency video analytics and centralized event management to detect pedestrians in real-time and trigger dynamic alerts by projecting warning signs on the ground.
