Flying September 2022

Flying September 2022

In our recent post we reported about the busy work over the summer but September proves to be even busier for the DS4 team.

MobiSpaces

We just attended the Kick off Meeting in Athens of this new European Project.  It has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101070279.  Our contribution will be mainly in the area of secure and trustworthy data handling.

iHelp

Meanwhile the work on the iHelp project continues in full speed and we reported on our progress to date at the 7th Consortium meeting in Rome along all the other partners.  Thank you for the presentation Nadia 😊

Time is flying on this project and we can’t believe that we are already planning the iHelp usability evaluations task.

EFPF

Our next stop was Vienna where we demonstrated our TeamCreator product at the EFPF Open Call Final Review Event.

A video to walk you through the Team Creator features is available on

Busy Summer 2022

Our DS4 team worked hard over the summer wrapping up Systems and Deliverables in the EFPF and  iHelp projects, taking part in the Kick-off Meeting of the RoBétArmé project and planning for the start on a new exciting project in September.

Thank you goes to all our researchers, collaborators and partners for their contributions in delivering the project work on time.

We just started work on RoBétArmé – a new project funded by the European Union

The RoBetArme project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101058731

We are part of a large consortium of 19 partners from 12 Member states who will work together to deliver a human-robot collaborative construction system for shotcrete digitization and automation through advanced perception, cognition, mobility and additive manufacturing skills. 

Digital Systems 4.0 is looking after the user-driven development and evaluation of the software systems, applying the lessons learned in previous EC projects such as iHelp.

The pre-kick-off meeting took place in June 2022 as a Teleconference and we are now looking forward to meeting the partners personally at the kick-off meeting in Thessaloniki in July 2022.

Off to a good start 😊

iHelp 6th Hybrid Consortium Meeting

The above took place in Athens between 24 and 26 May 2022 and our DS4 team attended the sessions virtually. 

At the next meeting we definitely intend to attend and meet the technical partners and the pilots personally.  Just looking at the photos with the views of Acropolis available at https://ihelp-project.eu/ihelp-6th-consortium-meeting we realised what we have missed.

Back to work now as the next Deliverable due in August is beckoning our attention.

Progress with the Team Creator @ EFPF Project

It has now been 4 months after the start of our collaboration with the EFPF project.  In that time we submitted our first deliverables covering our IPR and Exploitation Plans, and also requirements analysis, architecture and scenario definitions regarding the Team Creator module, and the ways in which it will fit within the EFPF platform.  In the first months of 2022 we continue to work on prototype development, system integration and piloting.

One year in the iHelp Project

At the end of the first year of the iHelp project we submitted our first deliverable report which contains proposed functionality of key interfaces of the iHelp system, categorises potential iHelp users and provides further guidelines for the user interface development of the iHelp system.  The mobile interface part of the system aims to attract and retain users in a manner which maximizes the impact of the proposed health interventions.  At the same time the guidelines ensure that the software is developed in alignments with the requirements stipulated in relation to developing medical devices.

In 2022 work continues with further discussions about the functionality of the user interfaces

Working on a new EC project – European Connected Factory Platform for Agile Manufacturing

We are pleased to announce that we have received cascade funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 825075 for developing a TeamCreator module and integrating it into the Industry 4.0 platform of services provided by EFPF.  This will increase the visibility of our products and services through collaborating with cutting-edge companies throughout Europe.

Starting the journey to personalised e-help

We were delighted to meet our partners from across Europe during the iHelp kick-off meeting last week.

DigiSys 4.0 will contribute to developing software which is tuned to the needs of its users – patients, clinicians and health service managers. 
We are to ensure the software produced by iHelp is user-friendly and “sticky”, avoiding the usual loss of interest by users in our health application after a few days.  We will use a combination of user-centred design and personalised nudge messages develop through our collaborative research with University of Manchester.

We just completed an exciting analytics project with one of the biggest on-line reverse logistics companies in Europe

We used advanced data analytics techniques over millions of customer purchase records to analyse consumer behaviour related to on-line returns.  We clustered consumers into different categories depending on their net value to the on-line retailer, the amounts purchased and the percentage of goods returned.  This analysis will help our customer identify fraudulent behaviour and maximise profit for their clients.
