Prototyping and Large-scale demonstrator projects
DTA4IP
Brief description
DTA4IP is a cloud platform focused on intralogistics assets. It is aimed at gaining efficiency in the end user processes where the intralogistics machinery (cranes, forklifts…) play a critical role, like the Port and Logistic industry.
Aims of the project
DTA4IP will represent a huge step forward for Izurun Technology in its product portfolio development for the intralogistics assets in port and logistic sector, more concretely in material handling equipment maintenance, where the concept will be tested in relevant scenarios in real cases provided by a field maintenance expert of these equipment: Dioghenis International SRL.
The vertical areas of the project are as follows:
- Asset monitoring / IoT with sensors.
- Advanced condition-based maintenance management
- Research on data analytics and advanced methodologies for remaining useful life calculation.
Progress to date
DTA4IP project is a real challenge, as different technologies and their interoperabilities are being tested by combining them into a single platform. The results so far are encouraging them to keep up with it.
With this project, Izurun is targeting to increase their service portfolio in the industry and consolidate their leading position as service leader of intralogistics assets in Romania and international markets.
SafeSea360
Brief description
SafeSea360 is a 360º Surveillance and Crisis Management collaborative platform that allows different actors to have real-time situational awareness of diverse emergency and SAR situations, supported by existing data sources and by a multi-drone platform plus a long-endurance glider. This on-going project is led by the Spanish NUUK Technologies and the French Interdrones Services.
Aims of the project
The sources will provide video, audio, sensor and imaging in real-time to the platform allowing an agile visualization of situational awareness to all involved stakeholders without the need to deploy additional crisis room HW.
Even though the platform enables different possibilities of use cases, SafeSea360 shall apply it in the following use cases: fire at a port hangar, rescue at sea, oil spill close to a port.
Progress to date
SafeSea360 project is progressing at a good path since they have been able to validate an end-to-end link in real-time between a drone and different stakeholder’s using the software platform in the cloud. Now, challenges are focused on the escalation to 4 different vehicles and 1 firefighter helmet while preparing the 3 use cases with Port Authorities
