Exploring Large-Scale Pilots with O-CEI: Data, Openness, and Success Stories

Carlos E. Palau Salvador kicked off the event by presenting the O-CEI initiative, a collaboration of 60 partners from 19 countries, including academia, industry, SMEs, and non-profits. Focused on leveraging data for insights, fostering openness and collaboration, and showcasing replicable success stories, the initiative is driving innovation through eight pilots across Europe. These pilots address energy distribution, EV charging, smart city energy systems, autonomous tractors, and agriculture, building on outcomes from prior EU-funded projects. Open calls will invite new pilots to ensure scalability and broad adoption.

aerOS presentation on SAFE-6G plenary meeting

Last month, during the SAFE-6G plenary meeting, Alejandro Fornés Leal from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) delivered an insightful presentation on the innovative metaOS concept, developed as part of the aerOS project. His demonstration was not only well-received but proved highly productive, sparking constructive discussions and laying the foundation for what promises to be a valuable and impactful collaboration. The metaOS concept aims to push forward the frontiers of 6G technology, aligning with the goals of both the aerOS project and SAFE-6G initiatives, and positioning UPV as a key contributor to the next generation of connectivity solutions.

“Approaching interoperability and data-related processing issues in a human-centric industrial scenario” paper

On September 24th, Walter Quadrini presented at the Global IoT&Edge Computing Summit a peer reviewed scientific paper named “Approaching interoperability and data-related processing issues in a human-centric industrial scenario” which won the best paper award by the conference scientific committee. This work highlighted the capabilities of private 5G networks and of Edge to Cloud infrastructures in solving the latency and computational efficiency-related issues that the manufacturing sector is going to face while moving towards a human-centric production. The talks with the AIOTI community which followed the conference also allowed to highlight how the aerOS solution could pave the way towards an effective and robust integration of edge nodes into complex informative systems.
