AI REDGIO 5.0: Open call for innovative experiments

Description

The objective for the first open call of AI REDGIO 5.0 project is to select up to 10 SME-driven experiments focused on the implementation of AI at the Edge and Industry 5.0 systems with the aim of improving existing solutions, products or processes in the manufacturing area. Additionally, the open call will contribute to extend the domains of AI REDGIO 5.0 and benefit directly manufacturing SMEs and small mid-caps. The experiments are expected to cover 3 topics: TOPIC 1: AI at the Edge applications and edge-to-cloud continuum TOPIC 2: Industry 5.0 and human-centric, resilient and sustainable manufacturing TOPIC 3: TERESA (Technology Regulatory Sandboxes) experiments

Beneficiary & submission

The proposals are submitted digitally, by the SME, in a single-stage through the Evaluation Management System (EMS). proposals prepared according to the instructions provided, shall be submitted electronically through the EMS platform. Applicants should follow the steps starting from the AI REDGIO 5.0 EMS website https://airedgio.ems-carsa.com/. Each proposal will be evaluated by two evaluators against the criteria outlined below: 1) Excellence Define clear and ambitious objectives. Demonstrate alignment with AI REDGIO 5.0 objectives. Address the sectors and technologies of AI REDGIO 5.0 open call. Develop a sound and ambitious experiment consisting on an end-to-end solution, starting from connecting data sources, till “action handling” (visualization, robot arm, etc.). Provide a clear description of the challenge the experiment plans to overcome. Present a draft of the architecture based on the StreamPipes orchestration and further connections with the outside world (open-source API based on existing standards like gRPC). Demonstrate innovation capacity to improve the current processes, products or services. 2) Impact Contribute to increase the digitalisation level of the SME. Demonstrate clear technological, economic and commercial impacts. Set clear and realistic KPIs. Develop an appropriate dissemination and exploitation plan. 3) Implementation Develop a coherent and clear work plan with an appropriate assessment of risks, together with a clear assignation of efforts and resources to each work package. Have the required capacity to carry out the experiment (budget). Demonstrate capacity to carry out the experiment (personnel, infrastructure, etc.).
