Webinar Title: Unlocking the Power of Eclipse BaSyx: When Industry 4.0 meets Agriculture
Talk 1:
- Title: Eclipse BaSyx: Making Asset Administration Shells Easy
- Speaker: Frank Schnicke (Department Head Digital Twin Engineering at Fraunhofer IESE)
- Abstract: Implementing Asset Administration Shells (AAS) can often seem like a complex and overwhelming task. Eclipse BaSyx streamlines this process by providing all the essential building blocks and powerful SDKs needed to quickly implement use cases. This presentation will guide you through getting started with BaSyx, offering an overview of key reference projects and practical tips to efficiently create and deploy AAS solutions. Whether you're new to digital twins or looking to optimize your AAS implementation, this talk will equip you with the tools to get up and running quickly.
- Short Bio – Frank Schnicke is head of the Digital Twin Engineering department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering. The department he leads focuses on providing scalable solutions for working with the Asset Administration Shell that can be used in mission-critical areas as well as in AAS dataspaces. He is also the project lead for Eclipse BaSyx and Eclipse AAS4J, which enable an easy and sustainable implementation of AAS-based use cases.
Talk 2:
- Title: SPADE: Building Agricultural drone digital twins with Eclipse Basyx
- Speaker 1: Aristotelis Tagarakis (Senior Researcher at Institute for Bio-Economy and Agri-Technology, Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (iBO / CERTH))
- Short Bio Speaker 1 – Dr. Aristotelis C. Tagarakis is Senior Researcher (Grade B’) at the Institute for Bio-economy and Agri- technology (iBO/CERTH) with expertise in precision agriculture. He has significant research experience working at prestigious universities and research institutes in Europe and U.S.A. He has participated in numerous national, European, and other international projects. His main research interests include Precision Agriculture, Digital Farming, Agricultural Automation, Agri-robotics, Remote and Proximal Sensing and Sensor Networks in agriculture.
- Speaker 2: Pablo Counhago Soto (Senior Research-Engineer at the Galician Research and Development Center in Advanced Telecommunications (Gradiant))
- Short Bio Speaker 2 – Pablo Couñago Soto earned his B.S. degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Vigo in 2009. Following his graduation, he worked as a researcher at the university's Information Technologies Group. During this time, he contributed to various projects focused on developing software for embedded devices, mobile communication networks (GSM and UMTS), and IMS networks.
In September 2015, he joined Gradiant, where he continued his work in multimedia networks and began exploring Software Defined Networks (SDN). Currently, he is involved in projects related to data acquisition from industrial networks, IoT technologies, and the development of digital twins.
- Abstract: SPADE is a project funded by the European Union within the Horizon Europe programme, with 21 partners and an overall budget of 5.8 M €. The strategic objective of SPADE is to develop an intelligent ecosystem to address the multiple purposes concept in the light of deploying UAVs to promote sustainable digital services in the sectors of crop production, forestry, and livestock. As part of the SPADE project, we are exploring the feasibility of using Asset Administration Shell (AAS) based digital twins to model data generated by drones in forestry, agriculture, and livestock environments. Our goal is to create a flexible and expandable digital twin platform based on Basyx.
