Objetivo específico proyecto 27: SO 1.4 (...) Smart Specialisation / Industrial Transition / Entrepreneurship

The “Smart Green Water” project addresses the efficient management of water in irrigation systems through the use of Digital Twins, an advanced technology that creates dynamic and real-time virtual representations of physical systems. These digital twins integrate data from local and remote sensors to simulate, analyze, and optimize the operation of irrigation systems under various scenarios, such as water scarcity, climate change, or crop modifications.

This joint acceleration programme adopted by organisations will be the culmination of the implementation of a common strategy adopted by the six incubators (CARO, HIESE, IMT Alès, Albi, CEEIM, FUNDECYT). The successful adoption of the strategy will be made possible through the bi-monthly meetings of the consortium and through the deliverables. Indeed, each deliverable will contain a “best practices” section that will allow the members of the consortium but also the other readers of the deliverable to implement the SCAIRA methodology defined in the project strategy. Renault and AIRBUS ATLANTIC, as manufacturers directly concerned by this need for environmental transition in their respective ecosystems, will actively participate in the implementation of the strategy. The combined skills of the clusters’ incubators & ecosystems, as well as the support of the 6 industrialists (including Airbus Atlantic and Renault Espana) will create and deliver specialized services to accelerate the implementation of innovative green solutions in manufacturing companies in SCAIRA’s regions.

This pilot will target the educational community and will deploy a gamification program in schools that encourages mentality change in children. The program will involve 50 schools for 4-6 weeks. Clothing collection races will be organised with municipalities and textile waste managers. Practical upcycling and repair workshops will be held and students will collect from schools disused clothing from their families and social environment.

The objective of this pilot project is to develop “digital twins” of cultivation and irrigation systems for several pilot plots distributed by SUDOE. The methodology will have been developed jointly and standardised at CESAP, under the coordination of the UCO. The objective will be to create “digital twins” (MD) for pilot plots in the regions of Catalonia, Andalusia, Murcia, Nueva Aquitania and Alentejo in voluntary irrigation farms. The implementation of this action will allow irrigators to better plan and manage their irrigation water thanks to this decision-making tool, as well as through exchanges of experience with other SUDOE farmers. The activity will be evaluated jointly by CESAP, based on farmers’ comments on the use of these technologies. This evaluation will allow the solution to be adapted so that it can be integrated into the SGW Strategy, as well as facilitating its transfer to other SUDOE regions. The evaluation will also serve to provide feedback to providers of this type of service and potential technical support companies. The objective will be to improve the tool and encourage its deployment in other holdings, including small and medium-sized farms, the priority objective of the SGW project.
