Cloud Platform That Turns Farm and Land Data Into Actionable Decisions

foodPilotedTRL 7

Imagine you're a farmer or land planner drowning in data — satellite images, drone footage, soil sensors, weather feeds — but you have no single place to make sense of it all. EUXDAT built a cloud-based platform that pulls all these data sources together and runs powerful analytics on them, like a control tower for agricultural and environmental decisions. It figures out whether to crunch your data on a supercomputer or a cloud service depending on cost and speed, so you get answers fast without overpaying. The end result is a ready-to-use online workspace where agronomists and planners can build custom apps for sustainable farming and land management.

The business problem

What needed solving

Farms, land agencies, and energy planners collect enormous volumes of data from satellites, drones, and ground sensors — but this data sits in disconnected silos with no unified way to analyze it. Running advanced analytics on this data requires expensive computing infrastructure that most organizations cannot build or manage on their own. Without a way to combine and process these massive heterogeneous datasets, critical decisions about sustainable agriculture and land use are made on incomplete information.

The solution

What was built

EUXDAT built a complete cloud-based e-Infrastructure with 31 deliverables across 3 iterative releases. The core products are an End Users' Platform (data catalogue, data connectors for UAVs/Copernicus/sensors, analytics tools, visualization, quality mechanisms) and an Infrastructure Platform (task orchestrator that routes jobs between HPC and cloud, monitoring, cost optimization) — all delivered through v3 and made available for pilot testing.

Business applications

Who can put this to work

Precision Agriculture

mid-size

Target: AgTech companies and large farming cooperatives

If you are an agtech company or farming cooperative dealing with scattered data from drones, satellites, and field sensors that never talk to each other — EUXDAT developed an integrated platform with data connectors for UAVs, Copernicus satellites, and field sensors that unifies everything into one analytics workspace. The platform went through 3 iterative versions tested with real pilots, giving you large-scale data analytics as a service without building your own infrastructure.

Environmental Monitoring

enterprise

Target: Land management agencies and environmental consultancies

If you are a land management agency struggling to process massive geospatial datasets for sustainability planning — EUXDAT built an e-Infrastructure that automatically decides whether to run your analysis on HPC or cloud based on cost and data constraints. With 31 deliverables including data catalogues, quality mechanisms, and visualization tools, the platform was designed specifically for land monitoring and climate-related decision-making.

Renewable Energy Planning

mid-size

Target: Energy efficiency consultancies and renewable energy developers

If you are an energy consultancy that needs to analyze large environmental datasets to plan sustainable energy installations — EUXDAT created a platform addressing energy efficiency for sustainable development with scalable analytics. The consortium of 10 partners across 7 countries, including 5 industry players, built and tested the full infrastructure through 3 release cycles with pilot users.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What would it cost to use or license this platform?

The project was publicly funded as a Research and Innovation Action, so the core platform components may be available under open or preferential licensing terms. Specific pricing or licensing models are not detailed in available project data. Contact the coordinator ATOS Spain to discuss commercial terms.

Can this handle industrial-scale data volumes?

Yes — the platform was explicitly designed for extreme data analytics, with automatic orchestration between HPC centers and cloud providers. It includes scalable data connectors for UAVs, Copernicus satellite data, and field sensors, and uses profiling and monitoring to optimize resource usage for large workloads.

Who owns the intellectual property?

ATOS Spain SA coordinated the project with 10 partners across 7 countries. IP ownership typically follows Horizon 2020 rules where each partner owns the results they generate. Commercial licensing would need to be negotiated with the relevant consortium members.

How mature is the technology — is it ready to deploy?

The project delivered 3 complete versions of both the End Users' Platform and the Infrastructure Platform, with the final v3 releases made available for pilot testing. This puts the technology at a tested-and-piloted stage, though it may need adaptation for specific commercial deployments.

What data sources does it support?

Based on the project objective, the platform includes data connectors for UAVs (drones), Copernicus satellite imagery, and field sensors. It also provides a data catalogue and quality evaluation mechanism for managing heterogeneous datasets at scale.

Can it integrate with our existing IT systems?

The platform was built on a modular architecture with separate End Users' Platform and Infrastructure Platform layers. It provides data connectors, APIs, and a data catalogue designed for interoperability. The 3-version iterative development suggests the architecture was refined based on real integration feedback from pilots.

Is there ongoing support or is this a dead project?

The project ended in October 2020. However, ATOS Spain SA — a major IT services company — led the consortium, which suggests commercial interest in sustaining the technology. Contact ATOS to determine current status and availability of the platform or its components.

Consortium

Who built it

The 10-partner consortium across 7 countries is led by ATOS Spain SA, a major multinational IT services company — a strong signal that the technology has commercial backing beyond just research. With 5 industry partners (50% of the consortium) and only 1 university, this project was clearly built with deployment in mind rather than pure academic exploration. The presence of 2 SMEs alongside research organizations from Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Spain, and France means the platform was tested across diverse European contexts. For a business considering this technology, ATOS as the lead partner provides a credible entry point with established commercial operations.
