Secure OpenAdvanced Metering Infrastructure
Main project objective:
The main objective of the project is to ensure the practical application of high-level innovation achieved through the implementation of industrial research activities.
The project is focused on product innovation consisting of research, design and ensuring the practical application of a secure open advanced metering infrastructure - SOAMI (Secure OpenAdvanced Metering Infrastructure).
The SOAMI project is focused on providing a new type of complex smart services that will enable the use of existing solutions and products in the field of advanced metering infrastructure and IoT devices and meters.
The project is implemented by 2 partners (Ardaco, a.s., T - Industry, s.r.o.), builds on the previous activities of both partners and is implemented through one main activity: Industrial research. The project is implemented in Bratislava.
Main objective of the "Industrial Research" activity:
Research and design of the "SOAMI - Secure Open Advanced Metering Infrastructure" system supported by a newly developed sensor integrated via secure IoT sensor networks.
The project will result in high-level product innovation - products new to the European market.
Partial results of the implementation of individual activities will be summarized and transformed into the final result of the project implementation, i.e. into the creation of functional prototypes of new products - IoT electronic module for SmartMeters and SOAMI - smart services platform, which will subsequently be introduced into production practice/production (service provision) of the recipient and partner according to requirements.
The project goals and results will be monitored through 10 measurable indicators.
Fire Danger Assessment Automatized System
Demand-oriented project funded by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund and the state budget, project code in ITMS2014+: 313012Q879
Main project objective:
The main objective of the project is to ensure the practical application of high-level innovation achieved through the implementation of industrial research activities.
The project is focused on the production of a new system FDAAS – Fire Danger Assessment Automatized System, which will increase the level of protection in the natural environment. The proposed service offers a detailed assessment of the risk of fire.
The project is implemented by 2 partners (Ardaco, a.s., Technical University in Zvolen). The research and development part of the project is realized in Trnava and Zvolen. The innovative part of the project is realized in Trnava.
Main objective of the "Industrial Research" activity:
Research and design of a complex automated system for fire hazard assessment in the natural environment based on data on atmospheric and microclimatic conditions of the environment obtained through IoT sensor networks.
Main objective of the action "implementation of innovative measures":
Ensuring the practical application of the high-level innovation achieved and its introduction into the applicant's production process.
The result of the project will be produced and subsequently put into production practice a new product (service) - FDAAS - automated system for fire risk assessment in natural environment with higher spatial resolution than existing systems, through research and design of innovative methods of creating and evaluating fuel model using the latest modelling methods and sensor network technologies.
The objectives and results of the project will be monitored through 10 measurable indicators.
Comprehensive communication device for innovative management of production and support processes in industry
A demand-driven project funded by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund and the state budget, project code in ITMS2014 +: 313012P897
Main objective of the project:
The main objective of the project is to support research and development and innovation activities for the purpose of high-level product innovation in the context of the industrial revolution "Industry 4.0".
The project focuses on product innovation based on development and subsequent production of FaceControl product - a comprehensive communication device oriented on production processes and support processes management in industry.
The project is implemented by 3 partners (APIS Ltd., Ardaco, a.s., Institute of Informatics SASc), builds on the work of all three partners so far and is implemented through 2 main activities. The innovative part of the project is realized in Banská Bystrica. Research and development part is realized in Banská Bystrica, Trnava, Liptovský Mikuláš and Košice.
The main objective of the "industrial research" activity:
Research on innovative methods of managing production and support processes in Industry with using state-of-the-art identification and monitoring technologies using methods of face recognition in working area.
The main objective of the "implementation of innovative measures" activity:
Ensure the practical application of the high degree of innovation achieved and introduction into the applicant's production process.
The result of the project will be a functional prototype of the new product - FaceControl - complex communication device oriented on managing production and support processes in industry (including a mobile identification module and a module to authenticate image data), which will then be put into production practice / series production of the applicant according to the requirements, which will achieve the planned high-level product innovation.
The objectives and results of the project will be monitored through 11 measurable indicators.
