BROWSE PROJECTS
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.
Blue SIROS
Status date: 04 September 2018
The project investigates the technical feasibility and commercial viability of an operational system for marine route optimisation, which integrates modelling/forecasts of ocean currents based on near-real time satellite altimetry data services. The service supports commercial users in the maritime community with respect to fuel savings, competiveness and port logistics as well as ship safety.
SolumScire
Status date: 14 December 2017
SolumScire makes use of latest satellite- and positioning technologies to better understand soil and soil conditions in crop production. The project collects and combines high resolution satellite and soil analysis data to provide soil spatial information and to create a service for farmers to feed spatial soil information automatically into their farm management system (FMS) to then improve field related precision farming activities.
LUMEN
Status date: 07 March 2014
LUMEN (Light UAS in non-segregated airspace for Maritime and Environmental surveillance) is a demonstration project aiming at promoting the operational use of a light RPAS (Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems) for Maritime surveillance and Environmental (Flood) monitoring delivering real-time information to the end-users. For this, the LUMEN system combines different space technologies: GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Signals) for navigation of the RPAS and geo-correction of the acquired data and real-time satellite communication to transfer the acquired data from the Ground Control Station to the service provider.
TransparentSea
Status date: 22 August 2018
TransparentSea develop an innovative fishery monitoring system.
Blue Desert
Status date: 08 August 2018
Blue-Value (developed in the project ‘Blue Desert’) is an information and software suite to determine water related risks, support optimization of water management, and asses water footprints.
INSUTRAX
Status date: 19 January 2017
The INSUTRAX feasibility study objective is to investigate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of integrated applications utilizing various satellite data sources (GNSS, EO and Satcom) for cargo tracking in support of IT insurance products focusing on Polish insurance market.
GFaaS
Status date: 17 July 2018
Geospatial Framework as a Service (GFaaS) aims to bridge the gap between the geospatial data providers, service providers and the intermediate/end-users to ensure painless access to processed geospatial data for addressing agricultural productivity concerns.
NAPPI
Status date: 03 August 2018
The NAPPI navigation solution aims to provide a tailored navigation service for the ageing population in public infrastructures to enhance their mobility and life quality. The solution is able to achieve centimeter tracking precision in indoor environments as well as to provide smooth routing transition between indoor and outdoor environments by combining satellite, acoustic and inertial sensor technologies.
BioDiv Checker
Status date: 01 August 2018
The BioDiv Checker is a service to acquire and analyze remote sensing images for supply chain integrity within ecological farming.
GrazingSpace
Status date: 19 January 2018
GrazingSpace is a satellite based information service that supports dairy farmers that want to keep their cows grazing in pastures instead of indoor feeding.
The service supports optimizing the grazing management by delivering timely information to the farmer on where to graze his cows and when to move them to another field. Biomass information determines the estimated size of the strip/field, and the cow movement tracks, translated into grazing behaviour data indicate if cows are still efficiently grazing or have to be moved.
SIS-SREM
Status date: 26 July 2018
To improve the safety and the information provision for people planning and undertaking outdoor activities in mountain resorts in the Eastern European market, the SIS-SREM project developed an advanced mountain rescue team management (MRTM) solution for organizations to better coordinate teams during search & rescue missions (S&R) and an Infotainment platform that provides 3D outdoor maps and mobile guidance for visitors, enables new forms of digital marketing and communication and integrates RPAS technology based services.
JERICHO VDE
Status date: 23 July 2018
Feasibility study, performed by a Polish team, providing a comprehensive overview of the VDES technology future maritime applications potential. Analysis regards two of the most interesting services, i.e. MSI (Maritime Safety Information) exchange, with particular emphasis on polar regions, and SAR (Search and Rescue) operation coordination – on-scene search patterns exchange.
WASTE IAP
Status date: 23 July 2018
The development of a service that uses Earth Observation data to detect and monitor legal waste sites, and GNSS technology to track the destination of high value waste items. The information is used to show evidence of legal operator compliance and illegal disposal or exportation of waste.
DFMS4i
Status date: 18 July 2018
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.
Pi-Link
Status date: 13 July 2018
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
Status date: 12 July 2018
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.
