A Omniflow está a transformar a iluminação urbana com luminárias inteligentes que integram inteligência artificial e machine learning localmente. Estas luminárias não só iluminam as ruas, como também promovem a sustentabilidade ao gerar energia através de turbinas eólicas e painéis solares, reduzindo em mais de 90% os custos de eletricidade e as emissões de CO2.

As soluções da Omniflow monitorizam dados ambientais e de tráfego, permitindo tomar decisões informadas para melhorar a eficiência, a sustentabilidade e a segurança pública. A plataforma cloud-based permite a monitorização em tempo real e ajustes remotos.

Além disso, a reutilização de postes de luz já existentes reduz os custos de instalação e manutenção, oferecendo uma solução económica que otimiza o consumo energético. A colaboração com a NVIDIA e a utilização de NVIDIA Jetson em cada poste de luz permitem o processamento de dados localmente, assegurando privacidade e uma rápida implementação de atualizações.

A arquitetura serverless possibilita rápidas atualizações e melhorias. A integração dos serviços da AWS, como IoT Core e Lambda, garante a escalabilidade e adaptabilidade dos serviços às necessidades dos clientes. Esta integração agiliza o desenvolvimento, permitindo grandes instalações serem concluídas em apenas 15 dias.

Inicialmente uma empresa de energia renovável, a Omniflow destaca-se atualmente na inovação para cidades inteligentes, investindo num futuro onde as comunidades são mais seguras, sustentáveis e informadas por dados.

HANNOVER MESSE 2023 | PORTUGAL KEEPS MAKING SENSE

user_admin — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 11:33:22 +0000

At a time of economic changes, the motto Portugal Makes Sense at the Hannover Messe in 2022, with Portugal as the partner country of the world’s largest industrial technology fair, keeps making sense, said the Portuguese Secretary of State for International Trade and Investment.

Bernardo Ivo Cruz was at the Global Business & Markets, Trade & Investment stage in Hall 2 of the Hannover Messe, presenting Portugal’s competitive advantages for investing, sourcing, buying, and doing partnerships, and stressed the country’s ability to adapt to changes in the economic climate. “Portugal is a safe bet for doing business and investing”, the Secretary of State said, recalling that the energy transition in Portugal began 25 years ago and that policies against climate change are a priority.

The intervention of the Portuguese Secretary of State was followed by a brief debate moderated by Rita Araújo, Member of the Board of AICEP, and had the participation of the General Director of Portuguese-German AHK, Paulo Azevedo, and executives of the German companies Informa Software and SEW – Eurodrive, Markus Günther and Stephan Meiswinkel, respectively. Informa has recently opened an office in Portugal; SEW – Eurodrive operates successfully in the country since 1990. Both agreed that Portugal is an attractive location to invest, mainly because of the talent and skills of its human resources and recommended the country as an investment destination for other German companies.

The Hannover Messe runs until April 21, and Portugal is represented with the institutional stand of AICEP and 37 companies from different technology sectors.

HANNOVER MESSE 2023 | AICEP presents Portuguese skills at the largest fair of industrial technology in the world

user_admin — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 14:26:22 +0000

Portugal marks its presence in the 2023 edition of the Hannover Messe (Germany), the biggest industrial technology fair in the world, with an official stand by AICEP – Portuguese Trade & Investment Agency and a group of 37 companies from the areas of Engineering Parts & Solutions, Automation, Motion & Drives, Digital Ecosystems, Energy Solutions, Compressed Air & Vacuum and Startup Area.

The kick-off took place today at 10 am at the #AICEP stand. Portuguese technologies and solutions were presented to the Secretary of State for International Trade and Foreign Investment, Bernardo Ivo Cruz, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate, Ana Fontoura Gouveia, and the Secretary of State for Economy, Pedro Cilínio. AICEP was represented by the Members of the Board Rita Araújo and Luis Rebelo de Sousa.

In the 200 square meter stand of AICEP, located in pavilion 2 (B46) at the north entrance of the fair, innovative skills of seven Portuguese companies developed in partnership with national entities of reference, specifically CEiiA – Center for Engineering and Product Development and Service (a four-rotor modular drone), Follow Inspiration (an autonomous forklift mobile robot), Fraunhofer Portugal (innovative small parts counting system), Infinite Foundry (Industrial Metaverse Platform), Muvu Technologies (RAILES SMART MES – Manufacturing Execution System, a list of state-of-the-art software for the industry), Skillaugment (the Digital Enhanced Operator, an augmented reality ID project developed in partnership with INESC TEC and VW Autoeuropa) and SOPLAST (UNIC3 project developed by the University of Coimbra for the automotive sector – mobility and electronics).

The institutional presence organized by AICEP is the natural result of the success achieved in last year’s edition, where Portugal was the partner country and presented – under the motto Portugal Makes Sense – the innumerable reasons why it makes sense to invest, source and develop commercial partnerships.

Hannover Messe’23 runs until April 21.

AICEP CHOOSES PORTUGAL’S EXHIBITION STAND AT HANNOVER MESSE

user_admin — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 09:55:49 +0000

AICEP has chosen the exhibition stand that will serve as the basis for Portugal’s participation in this year’s edition of Hannover Messe. With a combined area of 200 square metres, it will include exhibition spaces to display Portuguese projects and expertise, a lounge for presentations and meeting rooms.

‘Portugal Makes Sense’ is the leitmotif of Portugal’s participation in the world’s largest industrial technology fair and the underlying theme of the whole exhibition space, visually represented by an astrolabe that will be suspended over the stand and through several 3D backlit logos on the stand’s furniture pieces.

The astrolabe is a piece of engineering that offered guidance and direction to sailors at the time of the Portuguese Discoveries, just as Hannover Messe was born to give guidance and direction to German industry after the Second World War.

Located in Hall 2 at the north entrance (B46) of the fairground, the stand features several sustainability notes, such as the use of sustainably sourced wood and low-energy lighting.

This year’s edition of Hannover Messe takes place from 17 to 21 April under the motto “Industrial transformation – Making a difference” and will reflect on how companies are driving change and developing solutions to create an innovative and sustainable smart industry.

Portugal will be present with more than thirty companies from the areas of Engineering Parts & Solutions, Automation, Motion & Drives, Digital Ecosystems, Energy Solutions, Compressed Air & Vacuum and Startup Area at the 2023 edition of Hannover Messe.

Portugal was, in 2022, the partner country of the largest industrial technology event in the world, with a participation of 109 companies from the Engineering Parts & Solutions, Digital Ecosystems, Energy Solutions and Automation, Motion & Drives areas.
