The IoT Catalan Alliance platform aims to become the ideal environment for key industry players to dialogue and design a common action plan to promote technology at the service of the community in Catalonia.

The current main points of focus are the health, industrial, agricultural and public services sectors. For each of them, specific work plans are defined to meet the particular needs of each activity and boost supply and demand by connecting businesses through B2B networking.

With the inclusion of Pervasive Technologies as a board member of the IoT Catalan Alliance, the company will be able to expand the range of benefits of its AI-based detection and classification solutions and technologies thanks to direct and specialized contact with new potential customers, in addition to feedback and networking with the other companies involved to employ its cutting-edge technology in the sustainable development of products and services.

“From Pervasive Technologies, we firmly believe that this platform encourages collaboration between companies to take a big step in the digital transformation of Catalonia. Participating in initiatives such as this one links us with the principles in which every company that sees itself as an instrument to provide social value must move. Together, we will move forward to achieve one of the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda: more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities,” said Rodolfo Lomascolo, CEO and co-founder of Pervasive Technologies.

What is SmartCatalonia Challenge?

The initiative SmartCatalonia Challenge is a competition promoted by the Secretary of Digital Policies of the Generalitat de Catalunya.  

Promoting innovation in search of solutions to territorial problems, it involves startups, small and medium enterprises to meet the challenges posed by the Catalan entities. 

SmartCatalonia tries to connect through competition these territorial problems with the proposals offered by companies willing to solve the challenges posed to improve the life quality of many citizens.

Solutions in “Port de Tarragona

Pervasive Technologies attended the event as one of the leading companies in the application of Artificial Intelligence to image and video recognition to give a sample of the solutions that could be applied when solving the proposed issues.

The event held in the “Tarragona Port Authority Assembly Hall” sought to respond to the four challenges posed by SmartCatalonia Challenge for different problems of the “Port of Tarragona”, these are:

• Challenge 1: Fast and safe access to the port 

This challenge aims to solve the problem of how to accredit and identify drivers quickly and prior to their arrival at the port. 

• Challenge 2: Vehicle Monitoring and Tracking

To provide a solution to the question of how to track vehicles circulating in the Port in a non-invasive way.

• Challenge 3: Automatic Identification of Authorized Personnel

A constant problem that needs to be corrected is how to detect if there are non-accredited people inside the vehicles that enter the port.

• Challenge 4: Automatic Identification of Products

This challenge seeks to answer the question of how to know if the trucks leaving the Port are full or empty.
