HumaNav-Next
Status date: 17 February 2021
HumaNav Next demo project addresses the Aid & Development community’s urgent need to increase the security of humanitarian missions. It will develop a fully integrated and reliable vehicle on-board solution, providing:
• Geo-location, fleet monitoring, management and security
• Telecommunications: voice, messaging and data
The solution will provide seamless world-wide coverage and full service regardless of the lack of any local infrastructure, by using Iridium satcom and GNSS location. It will be adapted to humanitarian vehicles deployed in field missions in underdeveloped regions and conflict areas. All services will be available while driving.
HeraSpace IUU
Status date: 17 February 2021
HeraSpace IUU helps the identification of illegal unreported and unregulated fishing supporting EU legislation and environmental protection.
VisionV
Status date: 09 February 2021
VisionV integrates a combination of data provided by the end-user (spatial and non-spatial) and data derived from space-borne assets (VHR optical, elevation, structural health) to create new AR/VR visualisation capabilities in the context of:
- Situational awareness for Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) asset management
- Search & Rescue
Seco
Status date: 08 February 2021
SECO is a novel system that integrates three EO services and five EO technologies with the sole purpose to prevent and detect water leaks. The services are delivered directly to customers systems via an API and/or a web platform. SECO integrates satellite optical and radar datasets delivering a short to long-term intelligent alert system for water leaks prevention and detection.
Aquax
Status date: 03 February 2021
AQUAX is an integrated system of robots, satellites and artificial intelligence, intended for monitoring and identifying anomalous discharges within lakes, rivers and reservoirs.
Collie AI
Status date: 02 February 2021
Route optimization software is abundantly present in logistics. However, none of the available solutions has a global scope of application, they are limited to a single transport mode: ship, train, truck, or airplane. Though extremely useful, there is an essential missing piece of information: the concatenation between transport modes.
Earth Rover
Status date: 02 February 2021
Earth Rover is developing integrated crop scouting and laser weeding. We are targeting the high value vegetable market, and are currently testing commercial prototypes of tractor-mounted crop scouting with UK’s largest organic brassica farmer.
SoURCE
Status date: 02 February 2021
SoURCE - the concept of the service is to fulfill growing demand in the real estate market for having information concerning utility infrastructures which are provided in real time, updated and with high accuracy, via a user-friendly mobile application. The service combines different technologies (EGNSS, Earth Observation, Augmented Reality, Computer Vision) to enable simplification of gathering and proper interpretation of dispersed information about utilities in real time at current user location.
OPTIPORT
Status date: 28 January 2021
A significant contributor to the global GHG emission is the “hurry-and-wait” behaviour in tramp shipping. OPTIPORT is a Just-in-Time Arrival service that calculates optimal port arrival times for vessels currently underway by leveraging data from Sat-AIS and geospatial analytics.
This problem is tackled by combining the capabilities of StormGeo (weather forecasting, fleet performance and vessel routing) and Oceanbolt (port congestion, commodity trade flows and AIS data processing).
EDGE
Status date: 27 January 2021
The Nexlys’ advancED farminG intElligence(EDGE) aims to take the interaction between the farmers and their plantation fields to a new level. It will deliver an Artificial Intelligence(AI) based Decision Support System(DSS), enabled by the usage of space assets, which will allow farmers to maximise the benefit of existing operational assets and know how.
OWASIS-NL
Status date: 27 January 2021
The lack of proper information on water availability is one of the most challenging obstacles for water management practices. To fight this challenge, OWASIS-NL uses space assets in two innovative water availability services that support effective water resource management in the Netherlands and South Africa.
Quantified Farm
Status date: 26 January 2021
Quantified Farm uses the latest advancements in satellite image processing, modern ground sensors, 5G sensor networks, and artificial intelligence to deliver quantified farm information on a direct instance. This approach allows to make better and directly operational information products that help farmers in three targeted key applications: precise irrigation, fertilisation, and crop protection.
POREWIT
Status date: 26 January 2021
POREWIT is satellite-based services aiming to support the monitoring of forestry activities and supply chains, the detection of non-compliant behaviours and the implementation of law enforcement operations (investigation & evidence) in relation to forestry law.
GEWS
Status date: 26 January 2021
Greenhouse owners are in a very competitive market, in which unexpected costs due to damage and decay of the greenhouse assets can cause severe problems. This demonstration project aims at demonstrating how a notification service using space data can help greenhouse owners to prevent or mitigate non-insurable risks threatening their business, and thereby save costs.
ReMedy DEMO Project
Status date: 22 January 2021
A Thousand miles out at a sea. You are the captain on a large container ship. A crew member is seriously ill. You have been trained for this and it is your call. Remote medical care is complicated due to the distance between parties.
Telemedicine currently focuses on analysis / consultation. MedAssist.online’ s Two- way Augmented Reality service adds the “DO-factor”, by bringing a remote doctor virtually alongside a caretaker, working jointly to deliver the best possible care at lowest cost.
