Meet the Swarmchestrate partners: InnoRenew CoE
InnoRenew CoE is an independent research institute, established in 2017. Research targets renewable materials and sustainable buildings, with the goal of transferring scientific knowledge into industrial practice. InnoRenew is well known for its proficiency with wired and wireless sensor network deployments and the Internet of Things. With a cutting-edge Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system, InnoRenew operates in the Slovenia’s largest wooden structure, built in November 2021. The SHM system comprises load cells, accelerometers, air quality sensors, and multi-depth humidity sensors, among other components.
What is InnoRenew role in the project?
InnoRenew CoE brings its cutting-edge knowledge of sensor networks and IoT to Swarmchestrate as one of four project demonstrators. Their role involves extending the capabilities of an existing noise monitoring system by incorporating distributed edge computing techniques for noise source classification. Edge devices will be utilized for real-time signal processing tasks, such as fast Fourier transform (FFT), minimizing privacy concerns and reducing cloud-based data transmission.
Why is this project important for InnoRenew?
The Swarmchestrate project fully aligns with InnoRenew’s commitment to sustainable and innovative technological solutions, allowing the research institute to showcase advanced edge computing capabilities, while contributing to improved urban environmental management.
Who are the key people involved?
The project is managed by Aleksandar Tošić and Niki Hrovatin, both accomplished researchers at InnoRenew CoE. Their combined expertise ensures seamless collaboration, innovative approaches, and impactful contributions to the Swarmchestrate project.
