Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
APPIDE
Status date: 06 May 2024
APPIDE is an AI-powered tool designed to increase the efficiency of thermographic inspections of photovoltaic plants (both ground- and roof-mounted). Using radiometric, RGB, and GPS data acquired from drones, APPIDE generates detailed reports in a matter of hours, identifying exactly where and what the performance problems are on solar sites. Our AI-based solution drastically reduces the inspection times by human inspection and increases the reliability of reports. Overall, APPIDE allows you to make more inspections with fewer human resources, maximising the return on investment of your drones and your business.
MIRORES
Status date: 30 April 2024
MIRORES consortium launches a geological prospecting-consulting company focusing on space resources. The expertise is built around a proprietary far-IR spectroscope for remote detection of sulfide and oxide ores containing key resources for planetary ISRU (titanium, iron, oxygen, sulfur, PGMs and energy resources - pyrite and helium-3). Proper supply of these resources is also essential for Earth’s transition into zero-carbon economy.
SatADAPT
Status date: 30 April 2024
SatADAPT is a Predictive Maintenance system based on vibration monitoring and AI. The system consists of wireless vibration sensors which send data to an AI engine in the cloud which is also replicated onto Edge devices. The AI looks for anomalies in the frequency spectrum and warns of potential failures, classifies the expected defects, and estimates the time to failure.
EXTENSION
Status date: 26 April 2024
The project aims at the creation of services for the safeguard, conservation, promotion and enjoyment of the cultural heritage by using Space assets, AR and 5G network. The initiative has as its principal user the Municipality of L’Aquila, whose heritage is willing to be prevented and enhanced thanks to the development of the app, major outcome of the project Extension.

GIP 4 Smart Airports
Status date: 05 December 2022
The GIP 4 Smart Airports solution provides all actors of airport ground operations (e.g. airlines, airport, handlers) with better, accurate, real-time information about ongoing turnaround operations. GIP 4 Smart Airports offers a non-intrusive, bird-eye view of airport activities, without intruding and disrupting current working practices of airport teams, while making real-time information available to everyone.
VunaNexus
Status date: 27 November 2023
VunaNexus uses a patented technology to transform human and livestock urine into two valuable products: a fertiliser free of all dangerous pollutants and water that can be reused, this while drastically reducing ammonia emissions and water pollution.
DECISIONX:NETZERO
Status date: 13 March 2024
SATAVIA is reducing the climate impact of flying by mitigating the warming effect from the clouds aircraft make and enabling airlines to claim carbon credits as an incentive. Globally, aircraft contrails trap heat in the atmosphere and increase aviation’s climate impact by over 30%, contributing to global warming. From 2025 the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) will require airlines to report this impact.
SATAVIA’s technology provides atmospheric intelligence to change flight plans to avoid contrail-forming conditions. The mitigated climate impact is verified by SATAVIA and converted into tradable units by a patented method with the backing of Gold Standard, a major carbon accreditation platform.
