The project investigated how drought and flood prediction and monitoring services derived from in-situ and space-based Earth Observation data - in from the Sentinel satellites - could support the uptake of agriculture insurance in developing countries, with an initial focus on Uganda.

Collection and transmission of ocean water column data opens up new data-based revenue streams across a range of industrial sectors and stakeholders. The Pi-Link activity explores the market and technical feasibility around sustainably gathering and supplying such data using a sensor-equipped version of SNTech’s Pisces device, called Pi-Sense.

SiPeCon offers information services based on a fully operational sensor information supply chain to support crop protection agents and their clients (farmers) who want to increase crop production yield by reducing yield losses caused by pests and embrace Integrated Pest Management (IPM) innovations to reduce reliance of chemical pesticides, which is a novel business approach for crop protection.

DryGro is commercializing a novel method of agriculture that produces a soy-alternative crop in areas where land is water-scarce, arid, or otherwise non-arable. This project aims to determine the suitability of satellite-enabled IOT, earth observation, and numerical weather prediction technologies for facilitating the application of DryGro’s horticultural approach in such remote, inhospitable climates.

HelloBin services optimizes routing for waste collection for waste collectors and contributes to the ability to manage the waste stream more efficiently. 

GREENSPIN AGRI PLANET: a global service for field-level agricultural insights based on Earth Observation, crowd information and artificial intelligence.

The SAFERDANUBE system will provide assistance to river vessels operating on the Romanian sector of the Danube river. This is required in summer and winter, to cope with the appearance of ice/sand banks that difficult and/or prevent the navigation.  The project’s pilot will demonstrate a service relying on the integration of Satellite Earth Observation data (SAR), Satellite Mobile Communication and Satellite Navigation Services to this aim.

The aim of SIMONA project is to provide an information platform that based on the integration of satellite and terrestrial data can both complement and enhance existing Maritime situation awareness services operated by Italian Coast Guard and Navy over a wide area of the Mediterranean Sea and at the same time provide space-based services bringing functional advantages to private stakeholders like Merchant ships Insurance Companies and leisure boat users.

The technological key is represented by the integration of services from Earth Observation sensors (mainly Cosmo SkyMed Copernicus Landsat and WorldView) Satellite Communications (Orbcom or Iridium) Satellite Navigation (GPS EGNOS Galileo in the future) along with information andor operational services coming from other Institutional (AIS Cadastral Data) andor Private assets (Merchant Ship databases Port Info databases).

Spottitt is the new brand name for the SEWISS service delivered by the project consortium. Spottitt has been conceived to support onshore wind developers, turbine manufacturers and energy providers with the complex, expensive and time consuming process of screening and selecting the most suitable greenfield sites for development, without the need for initial travel to sites of interest.

VECMAP® is an award-winning one-stop-shop for the area-wide mapping of the distribution and abundance of pests that transmit diseases. The software includes tools for (1) geo-located field survey planning, (2) collection, storage & management of geo-referenced data, and (3) spatial analysis and spatial modelling of observed presence and absence data using earth observation data sets as predictor data.

SmartVEC® is a spin-off platform from VECMAP® to monitor vector population dynamics and the spread of vector-borne diseases in urban settings in the tropics. It is used by Avia-GIS to support its contract research activities with the pharmaceutical industry in disease hotspots globally. 

SmartSenZ® is a spin-off service from VECMAP® that aims at delivering eco-friendly integrated pest management services to public and private customers in the tropics. The service was demonstrated and is currently being deployed in the luxury hospitality sector in South Africa.

EO-li (Earth Observation based location identifier) is an open source web-based,global platform matching demand and supply of identifying, selecting and reporting in the land restoration context. It has four components, namely the (i) identification of a location area to be restored, the (ii) selection of an area and the actors involved in the restoration activity, the (iii) monitoring and reporting on the progress of the project using earth observation and geospatial data and (iv) a learning component providing guidance and capacity strengthening.

EO-based information service based on monitoring Micro Yields for assessing Food Security and Malnutrition (MYFoodS) in rural subsistence farming areas in Burkina Faso

LuxSpace (LU), in cooperation with the project partners arviem (CH), OHB teledata (D) and megatel (D), develop an innovative container/cargo monitoring device which offers cargo localisation and condition monitoring capabilities via a wireless sensor network and reporting using satellite communication means and AIS (Automatic Identification System) data.

Apart from the technical development, a comprehensive customer tailored real time cargo monitoring service is offered, including analytics and operational support.
