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.

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 a 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 MANTISSA, the CIBOS team will advance its prototype voice-picking application to reach pilot demonstration level, leveraging the collaboration with U-Hopper SRL, an expert in inventory optimization and Rosver SRL, a Torino-based abrasives manufacturer.
