A new journey begins! Fivecomm will participate in an exciting new Horizon 2020 project called iNGENIOUS (Next-GENeration IoT sOlutions for the Universal Supply chain). The project aims to design and evaluate the Next-Generation IoT (NG-IoT) solution, with emphasis on 5G and the development of edge and cloud computing extensions for IoT. The consortium will also provide smart networking and data management solutions with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML).

The project focuses on six use cases to address the requirements of different activities performed in procurement, operations, and distribution for realizing the next generation supply chain. From these use cases, Fivecomm will participate in the following ones:

• UC1: Automated robots with heterogeneous networks.
• UC2: Improved driver’s safety with mixed reality and haptic solutions.
• UC5: Situational understanding and predictive models in smart logistics.

   

During the project, Fivecomm will use specific tools and simulators to assess the performance of the devised 5G IoT solutions in such scenarios. These studies will be compared against real deployments thanks to the different trials taking place in ASTI factory and the port of Valencia, among others. We will integrate our equipment in end-to-end 5G IoT infrastructures for testing and validation. As part of our work, we will lead the work on the regulatory framework and finding the best business opportunities for the considered use cases.
