If you are a provider dealing with fragmented sensor data and high chemical use — this project developed a meta-OS that reduces pesticides and CO2 footprint. It allows AI to run directly on field devices for real-time decision making.
Universal Operating System for Connecting AI, Edge Devices and Cloud Infrastructure
Imagine if your smart factory machines, cloud servers, and handheld sensors all spoke the same language and worked as one single computer. Instead of managing ten different systems, this project creates a master controller that manages everything from the top. It's like having a universal remote for an entire industrial network that also keeps data secure and fixes itself if a connection drops.
What needed solving
Companies struggle to manage fragmented AI and IoT devices across cloud and edge environments, leading to security gaps and operational downtime. Current systems are often proprietary and lack the flexibility to self-heal or scale across different administrative domains.
What was built
A meta-Operating System including a meta-Network Cluster Controller for intent-based networking and a meta-Orchestrator for service level management. It also includes tools for cybersecure federated machine learning on devices.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are an operator dealing with network downtime and rigid software updates — this project developed a self-healing multi-cloud cluster system. This ensures zero-delay failback to keep production lines running without interruption.
If you are a manager dealing with insecure data transmission across remote sites — this project developed a secure execution environment with digital identity attestation. This lowers energy inefficiency while keeping the grid cybersecure.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for using NEMO?
Based on available project data, NEMO is being developed as an open source system via the Eclipse foundation, suggesting a non-proprietary licensing model.
Can this be scaled to a large industrial environment?
Yes, the project is validated across 5 industrial sectors using more than 30 heterogenous IoT devices and real 5G infrastructure.
Who owns the IP and how is it licensed?
The project aims for sustainability and wide acceptance through the Eclipse foundation and open source ecosystems.
How does this integrate with existing hardware?
NEMO does not reinvent the wheel but leverages and interfaces with existing systems, technologies, and Open Standards.
What is the timeline for deployment?
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2025-09-30, with validation currently taking place in Living Labs.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 22 industrial partners (79% ratio) and 8 SMEs, indicating a strong focus on commercial viability. Led by ATOS SPAIN SA and spanning 10 countries, the group balances high-level corporate engineering with the agility of smaller firms and academic research from 6 universities/research centers.
