Pragma at “Discover Vienna: Manufacturing Edition 2022 powered by EIT Manufacturing CLC East” https://www1.pragma-iot.com/2022/05/pragma-at-discover-vienna-manufacturing-edition-2022-powered-by-eit-manufacturing-clc-east/ Mon, 16 May 2022 10:54:05 +0000 https://the7.io/company/?p=2908

Pragma at “Discover Vienna: Manufacturing Edition 2022 powered by EIT Manufacturing CLC East”

Pragma, in Thessaloniki, Greece will be participating in the “Discover Vienna: Manufacturing Edition 2022” programme for thriving start-ups and scale-ups that have solutions in the realm of manufacturing technologies, in Vienna, Austria, from 30rd of March to 3rd of June.

Vienna is well-known for its human-centered approach in designing one of the most livable cities in the world. The city has a long-lasting history of creativity and cultural heritage. With over 8,500 companies creating over 12.3 billion EUR revenue, the manufacturing sector enables future-oriented jobs and drives growth and innovation in the city.

The “Discover Vienna: Manufacturing Edition” is designed for start-ups and scales-ups in the manufacturing sector with a geographical focus on CEE countries and Austria. Teams and companies from the following countries are eligible to take part in “Discover Vienna: Manufacturing Edition”: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

About “Discover Vienna”

“Discover Vienna” is one of those rare chances when someone is really interested in helping you develop your business. The programme is an excellent opportunity to grow your business outside of your home market by finding customers, partners, or investors, not just from Austria, but across the region. The agenda is busy with networking events with corporate and start-up companies, presentations of all relevant Austrian public authorities that support innovation and business creation, meeting with potential investors and last, but not least training courses. Another useful asset is that after the programme is done, your company becomes an EIT Manufacturing alumni. I highly recommend: “Discover Vienna”! ”, add Svetoslav Vasilev, CEO Siviko.

I am grateful for the connections with Austrian corporations and the local ecosystem. Some of these contacts generated new opportunities for our products right away. We connected also with venture capital funds, relevant to industrial automation. The EIT Manufacturing was very helpful and gave us a full load of valuable feedback.”, says Lubos Brzobohaty, CEO & Co-founder of Sanezoo.

Pragma.IoT participates in the TERRAPIN project https://www1.pragma-iot.com/2022/03/pragma-iot-participates-in-the-terrapin-project/ Mon, 21 Mar 2022 08:44:16 +0000 https://the7.io/company/?p=2903

Pragma.IoT participates in the TERRAPIN project

Water preservation is a rising global concern and it seems to be affected by the population growth and the climate changes. It is estimated, that around 30% to 50% of water is lost through the aging underground water distribution system. Considering water plays a vital role in our lives and is essential resource for human life, it is imperative to find efficient approaches for the detection of leaks in water distribution infrastructure to reduce the negative impacts associated with water pipe leaks. As underground water pipe inspection is a very demanding operation that requires additional manpower and excavation of the soil above the pipes, the detection of water leaks in underground water pipelines is a real challenge for the water utility companies.

However, leakage is a highly complex issue and requires continuous actions to be effectively addressed. It is important to develop accurate and cost-effective methods to monitor and assess the condition of these networks in order to select and perform necessary intervention plans to prevent disastrous failures. The collaboration of Pragma-IoT, with 2 other partners, OZZIE Robotics and Hypertech S.A., empowered through EC funding as derived by the RIMA network open calls, introduces the TERRAPIN project, which acts on the development of a novel robotic solution for trenchless water pipe inspection that aims to automate the inspection process and lower the associated costs. The project is complex, but TERRAPIN aims to provide technologies and associated services to water industry sector for improved process efficiency and water leak management.

Pragma-IoT approaches the TERRAPIN project offering 2 different solutions in order to contribute towards the worldwide water leak management problem. To optimize the water leak management, Pragma-IoT develops an AI-based algorithm for detecting leaks in pipes without shutting down the water supply system and also, an AI-based model that enables the detection and analysis of the material ageing of the underground water pipes. Pragma-IoT’s approach aims to solve many of the failure issues of the other technologies that are available in the market, through its easy-to-implement system. Pragma-IoT will take over the commercialization, service, and support of it as a product. According to the business model, Pragma-IoT will provide its products as a loaner system or as a service to potential customers. Pragma-IoT will be responsible for understanding the needs of the customer and providing the appropriate solution based on these needs.

The TERRAPIN project started in October 2021 and will have a 12-months duration, ending in September 2022 with funding from the European Union and the RIMA network.

Pragma.IoT platform powers awarded installation at the Digital Gate https://www1.pragma-iot.com/2018/02/pragma-iot-platform-powers-awarded-installation-at-the-digital-gate/ Fri, 02 Feb 2018 21:01:51 +0000 https://the7.io/company/?p=2869

Pragma.IoT platform powers awarded installation at the Digital Gate

The Pragma.IoT platform was used to store, access and visualize live and historical data originating by the HuBA (Human Behavior Analysis) toolkit developed by a group of researchers at the Information Technologies Institute of the Centre for Research & Technology – Hellas.

Aiming at exploring and promoting digital innovation and young entrepreneurship in the air-transport and tourism sector, the Athens International Airport, in cooperation with the Economic University of Athens and the scientific support of the Laboratory of Electronic Commerce and Business, launched a competition under the title: “THE DIGITAL GATE: Airport Innovation Challenge – Transforming the Airport Environment”

HuBA (Human Behavior Analysis) toolkit is a novel and efficient tool for enterprises and organizations that need an effective and robust solution for the analysis of human presence and behavior. It is based on the real-time detection, tracking and spatio-temporal analysis of human flows extracted by privacy-preserving depth cameras. It has a lot of applications such as people counting, dynamic queue analysis and management, automatic building evacuation management etc. It can also be connected with third party systems, such as energy efficiency systems, building optimization, loyalty systems, ERPs, digital signage, etc., providing additional information, that is usually overlooked and is valuable, for the optimal analysis of building performance.

HuBA has been installed at the Athens International Airport (AIA) premises for the Digital Gate challenge. The installation had the opportunity to demonstrate the advantages of the solution at a demanding environment for queue management. It revealed great knowledge for the queues, the waiting times, the service times, as well as the main areas of interest of the location it was installed. This knowledge can lead to the optimization of the waiting times for the customers and the human resources of the enterprise.

The Pragma-IoT platform was used to store all data originating by the privacy-preserving depth cameras and visualize it at real-time in a coherent way. Users with different permissions can access different dashboards containing a number of data visualizations. They can view information about entries/exits, occupancy, average waiting times at queues, average service times, peak and low demand hours, as well as heat-maps indicating the areas of interest.

HuBA was selected, among 162 participants, to receive the Special Award for Innovative Technology Stemming from R&D Activities. The award was presented at a ceremony held by the “Digital Gate Innovation Challenge 2017” Organizing Committee on February 12, 2018 and it was accompanied with a 3.000€ prize, the possibility of extending the pilot’s duration for one more year in the airport environment, as well as advisory guidance and support in preparation for funding.
