Projects

REMEDIES aims to create a trend on the prevention of plastic through traditional and modern channels, including through citizen science, towards a more plastic-conscious society. Ιt is built around three main pillars of monitoring plastic litter, its collection and valorisation and, the prevention of the distribution of non-degradable plastics. The project focuses on the activation of citizens affected by plastic pollution directly on the shorelines. REMEDIES plans to map out 170 km2 for plastic litter, reach circa 100,000 citizens, collect around 400 tons of plastic waste, and build up plastic prevention pathways through scaling and replication for an equivalent of 3,700 tons of plastic.

CIBOS will design and implement a sustainability impact dashboard leveraging UX-friendly technologies for maximum user engagement and a holistic assessment of the environmental and societal benefits of the circular pathways in REMEDIES. The dashboard will include a user section, to visualise contributions of interested supporters of REMEDIES demonstrations through reward schemes, users can follow and monitor their ‘favourite’ sites and venues of circular activities. Moreover, CIBOS will advance a traceability digital framework for monitoring zero waste cups along their product lifecycle, which it had developed in the frame of DigiCrc Programme for its partner, ANGR.

Urban ReLeaf aims to advance citizen-powered science as a central resource for inclusive urban green planning in support of local policy making, European strategies and monitoring systems (e.g., the Green deal, Copernicus), and global efforts such as the SDGs and GEOSS. At the heart of Urban ReLeaf’s action- and mission-oriented approach to innovation are public authorities and established communities and citizen groups in six pioneering Urban ReLeaf cities: Athens, Dundee, Utrecht, Cascais, Mannheim and Riga.

CIBOS will create a tree registry platform, which will rely on citizen contribution for the mapping and preservation of trees in Athens and other Urban Releaf pilots.

PRIM-ROCK addresses process efficiency through a comprehensive strategy that spans industrial processes from input to output. This strategy is supported by an ambitious digital framework and transversal supporting activities.

In particular, advanced techniques for pre-processing raw materials will be deployed to enhance their efficiency, tailored to the specific requirements of each process. Simulations and decision support systems will also be employed to increase the operational limits of flexibility in the feedstock domain.

The project’s ultimate goal is to develop a portfolio of technologies that can lead to higher resource efficiency and lower levels of GHG emissions in extractive industries. A specific focus will be placed on improving the resource efficiency of the calcination and roasting processes, which are widely used in the mineral and cement industries.

It will develop a comprehensive intelligent Decision Support System for raw-material pre-processing optimisation (RMI-DSS), designed to assist in the determination process of the optimal sorting thresholds of mineral ore streams. The system will integrate advanced techniques and algorithms (e.g. tree-based, rule-based algorithm, etc.) to analyse the physical and chemical properties of the mined minerals. The system will integrate advanced techniques and algorithms to analyse the physical and chemical properties of the mined minerals.

The Theseus project marks a significant milestone in Greece’s transition to circular economy practices. Led by a dynamic international consortium comprising 52 partners from various European technology companies, institutions, research centers, and industries, the project endeavors to establish Greece’s inaugural Hub for Circularity (H4C). The project’s primary objective is to promote the circular economy, starting in Attica and gradually expanding to create a nationwide network. These initiatives align with the Partnership for Progress (P4P) and are meticulously designed to support the ambitious goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

CIBOS will mainly contribute to WP11 exploitation activities. As a spin-off company of ICCS, it will develop a business plan and exploitation and marketing strategy for the main Key Exploitable Results (KERs) of the institute, comprising sorting technologies for various materials, and the use of Extended Reality to assess human-robot interaction during sorting. Moreover, it will contribute to WP2, supporting the projections for 2050 scenarios for the Attica region, backed with data from its network of value chain stakeholders in the respective verticals.

The NEMESIS project investigates the impact of metabolic disrupting chemicals (MDCs) on human health, aiming to improve regulatory measures and public health. The project will enhance understanding of MDC exposure, mechanisms, and develop predictive tools.

CIBOS is responsible for developing the project’s digital twin for the project Living Labs and for the crowdsourcing application.

MANTISSA addresses the logistics and supply chain management challenges of the manufacturing sector. It is a solution for digitizing key operations concerning the inventory and warehouse management of small to mid-sized manufacturing companies. It includes a voice-picking system, to shift from paper-based order management to hands-free operations, and an AI-based module, that optimises the warehouse inventory.

CIBOS Innovation has a vision picking solution in its portfolio that is based on smartglasses. The solution offers step-by-step guidance for the warehouse picking staff superimposed on the smart glasses screen, with the ultimate goal to reduce errors and accidents and improve efficiency.

However, there is a significant market opportunity for voice-picking only solutions in sectors, where on one hand manufacturing SMEs wish for lower hardware costs or they may work in harsher environmental conditions (e.g. freezer warehouses). In the MANTISSA project, the CIBOS team has advanced its prototype voice-picking application having reached MVP level, leveraging the collaboration with U-Hopper SRL, an expert in inventory optimization, and our other partners at Rosver SRL, a Torino-based abrasives manufacturer, who are currently pilot testing the product in a real working environment.
