Tech Frontrunner Pitches

Synopsis: In 2020, the whole world faces unprecedented travel restrictions due to COVID-19, resulting in ineffective field service and production downtimes that take significantly longer to resolve than usual. Learn more about how our customers tackle the situation by deploying the Mixed Reality enterprise platform sphere, which facilitates collaboration across remote locations, reduces downtime of machinery without travel between sites and makes know-how transfer across the globe simpler and more accessible.

Synopsis: Complex technical infrastructures in buildings and energy services need to be constantly monitored and adapted for changing usage, effective maintenance and optimal energy consumption. We help facility, property and asset managers to seamlessly plan, understand and optimize the operational, financial and environmental performance. By combining various planning and measurement data as well as the explicit engineering knowledge about the technical infrastructure, e. g. from a digital twin, in one interactive analysis tool, we enable the user to derive value from the wealth of information by making better, data-driven decisions.

Synopsis: As urbanization accelerates and more people, vehicles and construction works need to co-exist in the city area, the demand for smart city management based on qualitative data increases. By deploying mobile camera units on existing vehicles operating in the city, a constant flow of data about the urban environment can be accessed. Univrses cost-effectively processes and presents real-time as well as historical data about e.g. road damages, road works, traffic signs, people & vehicle density and parking occupancy on a dashboard to enable a safer and smarter city. 

Synopsis: CloudBackend is building a distributed Edge Database Platform as a Service (Edge dbPaaS) for use in digitalisation cloud solutions, including IoT, logistics, manufacturing, smart cities, transport, AI, home automation and many more.

Synopsis: The industry is non-linear, high dimensional, and stochastic. Traditional industrial solutions are linear, inadaptive, and reactive instead of proactive, causing inefficiency. Sentian.ai has developed ICON, a new generation of AI for a new generation of control and automation optimization offering higher yield, lower cost, improved quality with less scrap. Targeting manufacturing and process industries. In 2019, Sentian broke multiple world records for nonlinear optimization in the QAP category, a major academic benchmark. Now, Sentian offers the world's fastest nonlinear optimization solver for industrial applications. Ideal for optimizations of planning, supply chains and logistics. Plan better and plan quickly.

Synopsis: Factory Intelligence Software and Flexible Automation Solutions are the Digital Building Blocks of the Smart Factory. MTEK will be presenting on how to use data and analytics in a true industrial context to help improve quality, reduce time and cost in discrete manufacturing.

Synopsis: Zazuko’s data-centric IoT platform embraces variety in information by using a self-describing data model that can grow with complex data and use-cases. The platform is an important building block for creating a digital twin of physical assets and using this information to optimize the performance and efficiency of real assets. The data model is also used to describe constraints on data, rules and even complete workflows for integrating or processing data, like aggregations, machine learning, etc.

Synopsis: Astrocast is developing in cooperation with Airbus, CEA/LETI, the European Space Agency (ESA) and satellite operator Thuraya, a global nanosatellite LEO constellation, as well as low-power and bi-directional modules to connect efficiently and at ultra-low-cost millions of IoT devices in remote, rural and maritime areas. Pilot tests are ongoing with two demonstration satellites. The first commercial satellites will be launched in December 2020, with commercial service in Q3 2021.

Synopsis: VR/AR solutions for workplace training are successful, effective and growing quickly.  Demand is now increasing for natural and intuitive user interaction for a better, more realistic training experience.  The VRfree® tracking platform is enabling this.

Synopsis: The construction sector is a highly competitive industry and faces an important challenge in the coming years to further digitize the industry and increase its efficiency in the field through digital technologies such as Augmented Reality. With our high precision AR-solution for headsets, we can visualize, measure and modify geospatial information with centimeter accuracy in the field. This allows surveyors, contractors and engineers to optimize their work, verify engineering plans in the field and avoid costly errors during construction works.

Synopsis: Current virtual or augmented reality headsets are not widely accepted because they can cause discomfort, nausea or eye-strain. One reason for it is mismatch between perceived binocular depth and actual focus of individual eye. CREAL’s technology projects light-field where each eye can focus naturally on virtual objects in different distances, experiencing their realistic blur and micro-parallax. This enables creation of pleasant to use headsets. We are looking for partners interested in integrating this technology into their products.

Synopsis: Viking Analytics’ self-service analytics platform, MultiViz, enables industrial domain experts to prepare, analyze and annotate large volumes of sensor data without being a data scientist or a machine learning expert. Furthermore, MultiViz helps to build, deploy and maintain smart applications based on the insights and the annotated data. MultiViz is already helping several industrial companies globally to save hundreds of man-hours of work entailed in root-cause analysis, data analysis, annotations, and ML deployments, with significantly better performance.

Synopsis: With the roll-out of IoT, more devices get connected. Wireless connectivity offers several benefits, like faster installation and easier commissioning. However, with more traffic in the air a new challenge arises: how to get your data through despite this congestion? LumenRadio has a patented technology that continuously searches for the best available radio channel. The benefit is ultra-reliable communication for your IoT device at the same time as other radio devices are not interfered.

Synopsis: Recently, deployments of autonomous drones are gaining attention in the industry. The autonomous navigation of the drones, equipped with a sensor suite has the ability to collect information such as images, gas level, dust level, monitor the personnel, explore unknown areas and minimize service times. FieldRobotiX develops hardware and software to enable autonomous drones for inspection of harsh environments such as underground mines. The developed autonomous drones can provide access to unreachable, complex, dark and dangerous locations for the monitoring personnel, exploring the area and minimizing service time, inspection procedures, and down-times. 

Synopsis: The IoT AI revolution is swinging from central processing in the cloud to analytics performed in real-time on the assets where the data is being created. Simultaneously, new financial and business models are being devised, where servitization, usage-based pricing and optimized financial services are being rendered. Combining a software infrastructure that allows you to dynamically create and modify autonomous analytical models with financial microtransaction models on any asset in the world instantaneously will disrupt all verticals. Everywhere.
