The
DRUPE project - “Decision support system based on in-situ and aerial spectroscopy and distributed network of heterogeneous sensors for the production of olives” — is co-funded through the 2017–2021 Regional Operational Programme, Objective 1.1 “Developing and strengthening research and innovation capacity and the introduction of advanced technologies”, Action 1.1.1 “Enhancement and support of research, also in collaboration with research centres, universities and large enterprises, for technological innovation in products and processes and technology transfer, as a driver of regional development and of the competitiveness of the territory.”
The
DRUPE project aims to study and develop innovative technologies and solutions based on Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigms, specifically targeted at the Ligurian regional olive-growing sector. The goal is to optimise resources for a sustainable and climate-resilient olive-growing system of the future, through the use of machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. The integration of heterogeneous data collected from a distributed network of IoT sensors, together with spectroscopic data acquired both in situ and by drones, will form the data foundation of a decision support system made available to stakeholders.
Genoa Instruments contributes to the DRUPE project by bringing its advanced technology in live imaging with super-resolution temporal performance into the field of precision agriculture, within a temporary consortium involving Sitem, the Centro di Sperimentazione e Assistenza Agricola — CeRSAA — and the companies BEES, FlairBit, Globi Hi-Tech and Gruppo Sigla, a company of the Relatec Group. The project also includes the participation of CNR Genova.
