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.
Scope 3
Status date: 22 April 2024
Measuring and controlling GHG scope 3 emissions is crucial for the chemical industry goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Reliable monitoring mechanisms built from precise, trusted data, allow to calculate their precise product carbon footprints, and conduct truthful life cycle assessments. Scope 3 services fully cover the evolving needs from the industry with a user-friendly monitoring and simulation platform specialized on multi-modal transport emissions.
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.
GeoInsure
Status date: 26 April 2024
GeoInsure is a fully operational, custom designed, state-of-the-art Earth Observation based geospatial tool, specifically build to be seamlessly integrated into the operational workflow of a company active in the (re)insurance market, with an emphasis on natural catastrophes (Nat Cat) and extreme weather events insurance and reinsurance activities.
TSMF_10CM DP: WaldCursor
Status date: 19 April 2024
TSMF_10CM DP is Tama Group’s core project to develop, test and test market the WaldCursor product. The project covers development, test and field test of a cloud & app based remote sensing analytics information platform for forestry and environmental applications.
TEMIS
Status date: 19 April 2024
Massive end-to-end IoT satellite services, fully operational in GNSS denied environment and very robust to jamming & interferences for highly scalable applications in numerous verticals such as logistics, transport, agriculture/smart farming, maritime, environmental, mining/oil/gas, smart cities, smart building, e-health, utilities, industry…
ABLE ACTIVE
Status date: 17 April 2024
ABLE ACTIVE promotes accessible trails and amenities to people with disabilities, uniquely by disability. Feedback captured from users helps to inform and inspire, making it easier for others to find opportunities suitable for their specific needs, and helping amenity operators to better understand and support their user community.
SA4D
Status date: 16 April 2024
What short and long-term actions can be implemented to foster opportunities for the space sector in aiding the green transition and decarbonisation of the economy, with a particular focus on the Buildings and Energy & Utilities sectors?
PASTA
Status date: 08 April 2024
The world health organization has reported that 7.6% of patients in high-income countries acquire a healthcare-associated infection (HCAI). Recent studies show that more than 650,000 patients a year in England acquire HCAIs, which cost the NHS over £1 billion annually. Airborne transport is responsible for up to 10% of all HCAIs. The PASTA solution aims to improve indoor air quality and to minimise the risk of airborne pathogen infection in future hospital environments using low-temperature plasma technology that is oriented from in-situ resource unitisation in long-duration space missions and space propulsion (Pulsed plasma thruster). This new technology is designed to provide better infection control for airborne pathogens. It can also reduce the carbon footprint of hospitals by improving the energy efficiency of a traditional HVAC system.
Colibri
Status date: 04 April 2024
Colibri is an operational telemedicine solution relying on satellite broadband communication to efficiently support healthcare services in white areas, combining fix telemedicine stations installed in villages, a vehicle equipped with medical devices called “Consultobus” and home appliances for isolated people.
Orbio Earth Platform
Status date: 25 March 2024
The OE Platform uses satellites to track methane emissions from the oil & gas industry. This enables management of methane and associated energy transition risks using global, asset-level, highly frequent emissions data embedded into a deep regulatory, supply chain, portfolio exposure and operations analytics.
Remote Ecological Surveys
Status date: 02 April 2024
To restore and protect biodiversity, we need detailed data. A breakthrough is needed in the current labour intensive methods to carry an ecological survey to provide data for biodiversity monitoring and reporting. Gentian provides a solution which harnesses innovative AI technology and highest resolution Remote Sensing imagery to provide a fully remote, cost efficient ecological survey without compromising on accuracy.
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.
