IOT LARGE SCALE PILOTS
Opening Oct 2015
Deadline April 2016
Budget 100mil EUR
Pilots – goal driven initiatives that will propose IoT approaches to
specific real-life industrial/societal challenges
involve stakeholders from supply side to demand side
contain all technological and innovation elements (the use, application and
deployment as well as the development, testing and integration activities
large scale - possible to operate under load and constraints conditions close to
operational load one's
demonstration to operate across multiple sites, scalability to large amount of
heterogeneous devices and systems, as well as with large amount of real users
feedback mechanisms to allow adaptation and optimisation of the technological and
business approach to the particular use case
SCOPE
Foster innovation
Foster deployment of IoT solutions in Europe
Create value across the IoT value chain, with a focus on European SME
Deliver open APIs to promote interoperability and creation of standards
Enable involvement of multiple user groups across different geographical
regions
Allow service providers to test business models through direct
experimentation with users
Focus on areas that lack market interest, but have high social and
economic benefits
Address trust, security, privacy concerns to increase adoption rates
Foster innovation
LSP OBJECTIVES
Large scale, in operational conditions
Full value chain
Open interfaces
TO REMEMBER
• deploy innovative and user-led pilot projects capable of supporting and extending
independent living at home for older adults based on IoT
Smart living environments
for ageing well
• different types and sizes of farms, wide geographic coverage and benefit for both
conventional and organic agro-food chains
• arable crops, livestock, vegetable and fruit production
Smart Farming and Food
Security
• Wearables are integrating key technologies into intelligent systems to bring new
functionalities into clothes, fabrics, patches, watches and other body-mounted
devices.
Wearables for smart
ecosystems
• reference zones for showcasing and experimenting new citizen-centred IoT
services.
Reference zones in EU
cities
• safe and highly and fully autonomous vehicles in various representative use case
scenarios, exploiting local and distributed information and intelligence.
Autonomous vehicles in a
connected environment
IOT LSP DOMAINS
Sophisticated sensors, robots and sensor networks combined with procedures to
link mapped variables to appropriate farming management actions
monitoring and control of plant and animal products during the whole life cycle from farm to fork
helping farmers' decision making with regard to the use of inputs and management processes
Potential to bring data management to a new level by
enable autonomous execution of appropriate interventions in different agricultural sub-sectors
and their associated post-production value chain through to the consumer
Challenge is to design architectures
to “program” or track each object for optimal behaviour
decreasing use of water as well as other natural resources and inputs
lowering ecological footprints and economic costs
increasing food security
enables consumers to access trustworthy traceability information throughout the whole food
chain.
SMART FARMING AND FOOD SECURITY
Proposals shall include an adequate combination of different farms to
ensure
deployment of the technology is adapted to the needs of different types and sizes of
farms across Europe
Activities should allow
for a wide geographic coverage within Europe
benefit both conventional and organic agro-food chains
Proposals shall cover at least three sub-sectors
arable crops, livestock, vegetable and fruit production
multi-actor approach and allow for adequate involvement of the farming sector
SMART FARMING AND FOOD SECURITY
LSP pilot will cover a series of cities to operate as reference zones for
showcasing and experimenting new citizen-centred IoT services
Building on the past results and achievements in some cities in Europe.
Cities will experiment and test similar new services and solutions
starting from users' expressed preferences and needs
involvement of creativity hubs such as fablabs, co-working spaces, and gather
experience at scale and evaluate citizens' acceptability and endorsement.
Enable SMEs to use open demonstrators to test innovative new services.
Pilots will provide evidence of access to city areas where legal contexts are adapted to
the demonstration requirements (i.e. 'reference zones')
Federation and interoperability between platforms may be considered as appropriate,
as well as the ability to integrate data from different service providers.
The number of users involved and duration of pilot services should be sufficient to
ensure statistical significance in impact analysis, with a minimum of 4 pilot sites in 4
countries.
REFERENCE ZONES IN EU CITIES
Identification of most valuable use cases
Identification of key players
LSP deployment strategy
