Engineering Innovation in
Smart Agriculture
Building an innovative, interoperable platforms, based on IoT and Big Data, to support sustainable farming and food production systems.
Approach & Solution
Approach
In the current European farming context still misses a common repository where to store data coming from equipment and production systems, generated by sensors and IoT devices.
Players working in this field already use their own proprietary data spaces, leveraging data for decision making, for quality control, production chain monitoring. However, these solutions are not interoperable, forcing users to adopt a multitude of different systems, data models and user interfaces in order to access the information they need.
Indeed, DEMETER project aims at accelerating the diffusion of Smart Agricultural solutions based on data and which can support decision making activities and monitoring.
For this reason, beneficiaries are not only farmers but also service advisors and ICT providers.
Solution
To support the Agricultural field, improving its sustainability, DEMETER:
- Adopts a human-in-the-loop model that mixes human knowledge and expertise with digital information
- Focuses on interoperability as the Digital Enabler does
- Implements different technologies: IoT, Earth Observation, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence.
