Furthermore, OCENTIC will expand its expertise in AI algorithms and digital modeling within embedded devices to support more advanced edge computing applications and build advanced edge-cloud integrations.

TASMANIA (ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR INDUSTRIAL MONITORING SYSTEMS BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE)

The TASMANIA project, executed entirely by OCENTIC, addresses the use of new Artificial Intelligence and digitalization technologies to enable intelligent monitoring and analysis of industrial processes within the framework of Industry 4.0, allowing for their improvement and optimization. The project has conducted industrial research resulting in a multi-tool analytical environment that is intelligent, non-intrusive, efficient, and adaptable to monitoring systems of varying scales. This environment has been evaluated in carefully selected industrial use cases.

AIDOART (AI-UGMENTED AUTOMATION FOR EFFICIENT DEVOPS

The project focused on AI-enhanced automation to support modeling, coding, testing, and monitoring as part of the ongoing development of cyber-physical systems (CPS).

OCENTIC delivered an enhanced industrial monitoring solution based on a hybrid cloud-edge-IoT architecture, utilizing advanced, state-of-the-art industrial gateways. In addition, the OCENTIC team developed a robust, accurate, and cost-effective positioning solution suitable for harsh environments, which was validated in a real-world port setting. OCENTIC also evaluated and provided AI/ML-based analytics for the performance of this distributed architecture and for integrated solutions.

AIDOART (AI-UGMENTED AUTOMATION FOR EFFICIENT DEVOPS

The INARISOL project, led by OCENTIC and implemented in collaboration with the Environmental Hydraulics Institute of the University of Cantabria (IHC), aimed to research and develop new hybrid technologies for acquiring, processing, and utilizing data from specific sensors in the renewable energy sector, particularly in the floating photovoltaic solar sector.

Specifically, a novel distributed monitoring strategy was developed for load cells installed on mooring lines in floating solar power plants, in exposed or semi-exposed environments such as lakes, large reservoirs, bays, and inlets. By combining distributed wireless sensors with advanced numerical methods, the project provided a new service that enables the monitoring of floating solar power plant dynamics and serves as an early warning system to ensure their integrity and optimal operation using a minimal number of sensors. Furthermore, given that power generation plants are de facto critical infrastructure, the security of information and its integrity against cyber threats was another of the technological challenges addressed in this ambitious project.

EECONE

The main objective of the EECONE project is to reduce electronic waste at the European level. To this end, 54 entities (47 partners, 5 affiliated entities, and 2 associate partners) from 16 European countries, spanning various sectors, have joined forces to propose effective ways to reduce the volume of electronic waste in the EU.

EECONE’s vision is to develop and integrate the constraints related to the management of the end-of-life of electronic components and systems (ECS) from the outset, into the product or process design. Its aim is to move towards a zero-waste electronics industry. EECONE will be fully guided by the “6R concept” (Reduce, Reliability, Repair, Reuse, Refurbish, Recycle).

LIFEACCLIMATE

The LIFE-ACCLIMATE project, currently underway, is a European initiative co-financed by the European Commission’s LIFE Programme, with a total budget of €4.46 million and a duration from September 2024 to July 2028. Its objective is to demonstrate how the use of ground and aerial robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and decision support systems (DSS) can optimize agricultural production in greenhouses, improving resource efficiency and helping the sector adapt to climate change.

The technological solution being developed in LIFE-ACCLIMATE aims to improve agricultural productivity while reducing water, energy, and fertilizer consumption, addressing both resource efficiency and environmental concerns. To achieve these objectives, demonstration activities will be carried out in southern (Almería) and northern (Bizkaia) Spain, enabling the development of a tool adaptable to different scenarios and ensuring its effectiveness in both temperate climates and those with extreme temperatures. Initially, the development will focus on tomato cultivation, for which the technological solution will be designed, before validating its replicability in lettuce, pepper, and zucchini crops.

LIFE-ACCLIMATE brings together a consortium of 11 leading entities in the fields of agricultural research, technology, and production, combining their knowledge and capabilities to develop an innovative solution that optimizes greenhouse production and improves the sector’s adaptation to climate change. OCENTIC is responsible for integrating sensors and hyperspectral cameras into ground and aerial robots, optimizing data collection and analysis. It will contribute to the transfer and replication of results.

INTEGRUAS

The project’s objective was the study and development of technologies and new infrastructures that facilitate the safe integration of UAS into U-Space airspace and enable BVLOS operations. It included a series of specific objectives related to technological development, such as the design and development of new ground surveillance systems to ensure the safety of unmanned flight operations in U-Space, advanced positioning systems using sensor fusion to obtain accurate and robust estimation, 4D planning systems that enable UAS integration into airspace, and highly autonomous mission management and monitoring software for unmanned flight operations.

The OCENTIC team participated in the development of advanced positioning systems using sensor fusion to obtain accurate and robust estimation, and in the development of onboard systems for collaborative and non-collaborative remote identification and simulation of realistic positioning problems.
