EDAR 360. NOTICE 2.

The EDAR 360 project arises from the need to develop digital solutions that allow for the control and optimization of wastewater treatment processes, thereby promoting the protection of water bodies in our community.

Syspro’s specific strategic objectives are framed within the fields of research in the context of industrial monitoring and control. Specifically:
Research on the data lifecycle in federated architectures.
Research on the use of Artificial Intelligence techniques to improve robotic systems for process supervision based on image analysis.
To achieve these objectives, Syspro investigated the best combinations of techniques and procedures for deploying federated architectures to improve the learning of control algorithms for treatment plants. Additionally, the focus was on the development and applicability of new artificial intelligence algorithms aimed at defining supervision strategies for vision-based processes supported by robotic platforms, a task primarily carried out during the last year of the project.
From this project, not only have significant advances been made in the main topic, but new perspectives and possibilities have also emerged in terms of applications in other contexts and infrastructures. These additional lines of work could lead to promising future developments in various fields.
This project, framed within the Conecta Hubs 2021 program, is subsidized by the Axencia Galega de Innovación (GAIN) to support the growth and competitiveness of Galician companies (http://gain.xunta.gal/) and co-financed with FEDER funds, aimed at strengthening the labor market and regional economies (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/) within the framework of the Feder Galicia 2014-2020 operational program. It also receives support from the Second Vice-Presidency and the Department of Economy, Business, and Innovation of the Xunta de Galicia. This call seeks to finance a collaborative project aligned with the areas of the Galician Digital Innovation Hubs, allowing it to consolidate within the framework of Galicia’s Smart Specialization strategy.
