ARROWHEAD

Project Objectives

The Arrowhead Tools project aims for digitalization and automation solutions for the European industry, which will close the gaps that hinder the IT/OT integration by introducing new technologies in an open source platform for the design and run-time engineering of IoT (Internet of Things) and System of Systems.

The project will provide engineering processes, integration platform, tools and tool chains for the cost-efficient development of digitalization, connectivity and automation system solutions in various fields of application. Thus, the gaps identified will be addressed by four major components of the Arrowhead Tools concept:

• Provision of a mature service integration platform, providing extensive interoperability between IoT services and legacy technology together with management capabilities for dynamic configuration and orchestration of System of Systems solutions.
• Provision of efficient procedures, tools and integrated tool chains for engineering, operational management, maintenance and evolution of service platform based digitalization and automation solutions in both design time and run time.
• Provision of training material (HW and SW) for upgrading of industry personnel.
• Feasibility verification of above procedures, technologies and materials through demonstrations in a wide range of applications use cases, each with clearly identified exploitation potential.

Role of ACCIONA in the project

The participation of ACCIONA in the project focuses on developing a use case for verifying the project processes and technologies, assessing their applicability for the development of digital platforms for remote monitoring, management and optimization of tasks and resources during the execution of construction projects (e.g. construction of a highway, a railway, a dam, etc.).

More specifically, the use case targets the development of a platform for remote monitoring and optimization of earthworks, which is a type of activity that shall be accomplished in almost every construction project, and that in many cases can have a large impact on the overall performance of the project execution, in terms of use of resources, costs, deadlines, etc.

The digital platform envisaged shall track in near real-time the operations performed by construction machinery in order to enable remote monitoring of the progress of the earthworks, detect deviations from the original plan, analyze productivity and key performance indicators, and detect opportunities for optimization of these operations.

Duration
