As the Internet of Things continues its rapid rollout across much of the globe,

geolocation and indoor positioning have become among the IoT’s most-used features.

One challenge to this optimistic outlook is that IoT devices require small batteries that

can supply power for 10 years or more, and current GPS solutions are particularly

power hungry. In addition, GPS fails to operate reliably indoors or in dense urban

environments. The main barriers for accurate 4G-based positioning have been

inaccurate antenna databases, non-synchronized networks, distortions due to Non-

Line-of-Sight (NLOS) radio propagation and, of course, high power consumption.

Current 4G positioning is only accurate to 20-200m, and still requires full-feature 4G/5G

chipsets that are too expensive and too high power for the majority of IoT applications.

The Ultra Low Power Geolocation for IoT project (ULPGP5) project team recognized the

need for a multi-signal receiver that combines GPS and 4G signals with cloud offloading to achieve low-power, high accuracy

indoor/outdoor positioning. Unlike other solutions, the detected 4G signals are not limited to the typical low-accuracy approach

of using the 4G base station cell ID. The team’s multi-pronged approach achieved high location accuracy: five-to-40 meters

typically, and within 70 meters in very challenging environments, such as underground parking garages. This solution is based on

advanced signal processing, and the prototype used an off-the-shelf software defined radio (SDR).

Many of Europe’s rivers, lakes and groundwater reservoirs are still threatened by municipal, agricultural and

industrial waste. Researchers have struggled to develop an

affordable, accurate water-monitoring system that can detect elevations of

nitrate and phosphate and report test results in real time. While hand-held

sensors and water-monitoring devices have been developed, autonomous devices

that can save data to the cloud through an Internet of Things (IoT) platform, allowing

remote access to results, are not yet available. Through the EuroCPS project, TelLab

responded to these challenges with Aquamonitrix, a portable lab-on-a-chip system for

monitoring surface-water and industrial effluents. It measures pH, nitrate, nitrite,

phosphate and ammonia simultaneously in real-time, while controlling data acquisition and data processing and delivery to the

cloud, which allows remote access to real-time results from any smartphone, tablet or PC.

Wireless   technologies   such   as   3G   and   4G   networks   have   dramatically   enhanced

communication between people around the world–except for those living in remote or

undeveloped areas where advanced digital services are unavailable. In response to the

demand  for  ubiquitous  smartphone like  communication,  Wireless  P2P  Technologies

AB  (WP2P)  is  developing  affordable,  license free  and  digital  two way  radios  for

wideband long distance communication in areas without cell phone infrastructure.

Combining several applications, with different criticality and safety requirements, demanding high performance on multicore embedded boards, while satisfying strict hard real time constraints remains a very difficult challenge. Solving this challenge would allow manufacturers to put more functionality on a single board, thus achieving much more efficient designs in terms of weight, footprint and power and, therefore, costs.

IBT3, Innovation branding through IoT, aims to create a platform by which personal data in public places (including privately owned venues such as malls, concert venues, aiports etc) can be collected with consent. Increasingly applications are collecting data from personal devices in public spaces from personal devices without the knowledge of the owner of the device. By providing a means by which users can consent to data collection this project presents a method by which data can be collected in public environments within a trusted way. Reducing the risk of data misuse ranging from personal data harvesting to identity fraud all of which can damage the reputation of the space in which the data was collected.

Skin cancer is responsible for 1 death per hour which accounts for more than 50% of all cancers combined. SpectroX project will exploit a multispectral camera which will able to reveal and capture information rich images, both in and under the skin, beyond the capability of the human eye. With the additional aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning technology, this will allow for an instant and automatic evaluation of the underlying skin conditions. FED4SAE project will significantly benefit and accelerate the efforts of the company to commercialize and reach the market earlier. The collaborative network within the FED4SAE apart from the technological support of CSEM and Intel also provides Althexis with the business support from Blue Morpho. This gives the opportunity for the the company, during the development of the proposed system, to continuously improve company commercialization and marketing strategy.

Smart Cities need a complementary and reliable solution to extend current network of weather stations with a fine grain monitoring based on cost-effective, reliable and trustable air quality stations. Current solutions are very expensive and not offering a suitable data quality due to cross-sensitivity, fatigue and lack of extended calibration processes. For that reason Specificity will offer a high accuracy to measure in a precise way and in real time the air quality in the different points of the city innovating in new advanced processing capabilities for analogue signals with STM and innovations in calibration processes for gases with Fraunhofer. Thereby, cities will be able to obtain reliable air quality data to carry out informed decision-making for promoting a better quality of life, mobility plans, and vision for the city sustainability. The final product as outcome of the project will manage to unify the physical world (device) with the virtual world (platform) as a Cyber Physical System (CPS). The results will be integrated in the Smart Spot product, adding the intelligence and algorithms to enable a new standards of data quality, reliability, trustability and specificity capabilities from gas sensors.

Bringing the power of timing analysis techniques directly into the system architect environment in order to help them to validate the design of their real time systems in early phase of development. The solution extends the Capella system architecture environment and allows to define real time properties and constraints on the system in the early steps of design. Based on this information, the system architect can then launch analysis and simulations that validate the design and prove that the performance requirements will be met.

Despite the scientifically proven relevance of diffuse sunlight for crop production improvement, commercial light sensing technologies do not allow to effectively and affordably implement an automated control of shadings systems in horticultural practices. For this reason, the shading process is not optimized, and so is the production. To fill this gap, Alitec are integrating a cyber-physical system gathering real-time information about the type of sunlight available in greenhouses under continuously changing irradiation conditions, and providing input for controlling shading screens so as to optimize crop growth.
