Open Platform for Managing Smart IoT and Edge Computing Across Multiple Industries

digitalPilotedTRL 6

Imagine a universal remote that can control every smart device in a city, from farm sensors to factory robots, regardless of who made them. This project builds a digital bridge that lets different industries share data and automate tasks without needing custom software for every single tool. It uses a simple AI chat interface to make setting up these complex systems as easy as sending a text message.

The business problem

What needed solving

Industries struggle to make different smart devices and edge computers talk to each other. This creates data silos and prevents the automation of services across different sectors like energy and transport.

The solution

What was built

A modular orchestration platform with a generative AI interface for easy application onboarding and 4 real-world testbeds for cross-sector validation.

Who can put this to work

Industrial Manufacturing
enterprise
Target: Smart Factory Operator

If you are a factory operator dealing with fragmented machinery data — this project developed a modular orchestration platform that allows you to manage resources and automation across your production line. This ensures your edge computing tools work together seamlessly to reduce downtime.

Agriculture
SME
Target: Agri-Tech Service Provider

If you are a tech provider dealing with disconnected soil and weather sensors — this project developed a collaborative open platform that integrates IoT data into a single management system. This allows for better resource management across large farming clusters.

Energy
enterprise
Target: Grid Management Company

If you are a grid manager dealing with unstable energy distribution across a city — this project developed a decentralized processing system that optimizes energy flow in real-time. This improves the security and intelligence of your power distribution network.
