Periodic Reporting for period 1 - CLEVER (Collaborative edge-cLoud continuum and Embedded AI for a Visionary industry of thE futuRe)
Reporting period: 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31
The project's overall objectives include setting up the environment for project management, communication, and dissemination, as well as better specifying the CLEVER architecture and the three considered use cases and the necessary hardware and software tools to support them. The expected impacts of the project revolve around advancing knowledge and results, implementing them into advanced curricula, and disseminating project results through publications in international peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, the project aims to communicate information with respective supply chains and monitor its impact to ensure commercial exploitation evolves throughout the project.
During this reporting period for CLEVER, a series of technical and scientific activities were conducted to advance the project's goals of developing collaborative edge-cloud continuum and embedded AI solutions for the future industry landscape. The project team delved into extensive research and development efforts, focusing on the intersection of edge computing, AI algorithms, and embedded systems. This involved a deep dive into designing and implementing innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the efficiency and intelligence of industrial processes.
These results have the potential to revolutionize industrial operations by enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and enabling intelligent decision-making. To ensure the further uptake and success of these outcomes, several key needs must be addressed. Continued research and development are essential to refine and expand the capabilities of the developed technologies. Demonstrations illustrating the practical applications of these solutions will be crucial for industry acceptance.
Access to markets and finance is vital for scaling up the innovations and reaching a broader audience. Strategies for commercialization, IPR support, and internationalization efforts will be necessary to position the project for success in the global market. Additionally, a supportive regulatory and standardization framework is crucial to ensure compliance and interoperability of the developed technologies.
By addressing these key needs, CLEVER can maximize its impact and pave the way for a more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable industrial future. The project's results have the potential to drive innovation and transformation in the industry, offering new possibilities for enhancing productivity and decision-making processes. Through strategic planning and collaboration, the project can position itself as a pioneer in the field, shaping the future of industry with cutting-edge technologies.
