We are thrilled to announce that Kentyou has been selected by the AURORAL project to adapt and develop our Kentyou Eye Hypervisor solution for AURORAL’s ecosystem. This exciting opportunity allows Kentyou to collaborate with a leading European consortium aimed at advancing digital solutions for rural communities across Europe.

The AURORAL project, a Horizon 2020 initiative, seeks to foster the development of Smart Communities by leveraging cutting-edge technologies. The project’s open call invited proposals for innovative solutions to enhance its mission of improving economic, social, and technological opportunities in rural regions. Kentyou’s proposal was selected for its potential to significantly enhance AURORAL’s capabilities in data visualization, AI-driven forecasts, and decision support.

Enhancing Data Access and Decision Support for AURORAL Pilots

One of the critical needs for the AURORAL project is a robust data visualization solution for its various pilots, which span sectors such as smart energy, health, mobility, and tourism. Kentyou Eye, our AI-powered hypervisor, stands out as a perfect match for this requirement. More than just a visualization tool, Kentyou Eye will provide pilots with access to advanced AI-based forecasts and decision support, allowing Smart Communities to better analyze, monitor, and act on their data in real-time.

Kentyou Eye is designed to empower users to gain meaningful insights from complex datasets, offering tailored dashboards and metrics for specific community needs. Through this solution, AURORAL pilots will be able to monitor key metrics, predict trends, and optimize their decision-making processes—all from a user-friendly interface. This enhanced decision-making capability is crucial for rural areas that may face limited resources but aim to achieve the same level of technological innovation seen in urban centers.

Seamless Integration with AURORAL Middleware Through Eclipse sensiNact

Kentyou’s success in this project will be driven by our use of the Eclipse sensiNact platform, an open-source modular and extensible middleware. Eclipse sensiNact enables seamless data exchange across different devices and systems, making it an ideal candidate for integration with AURORAL’s existing middleware. By developing Web of Things (WoT) adapters for sensiNact, Kentyou will ensure that the data ecosystem within the AURORAL platform is enriched and accessible to a wide range of smart devices and applications.

This integration will unlock new data sources and services for AURORAL pilots, allowing them to access and provide data with ease. By supporting AURORAL’s peer-to-peer data exchange model, we ensure that data stays under the control of each participating community, preserving privacy while enabling seamless data collaboration. With the development of these Web of Things connectors, Kentyou will expand the functionality of the AURORAL ecosystem, empowering Smart Communities with cutting-edge interoperability and data access solutions.

Looking Ahead: A 6-Month Journey of Innovation

Kentyou’s work on the AURORAL project is set to unfold over the next six months, during which we will integrate Kentyou Eye and Eclipse sensiNact into the AURORAL architecture. This collaboration is just the beginning, and we are eager to demonstrate the power of our hypervisor’s data-driven forecasting and decision-making capabilities. By combining advanced data visualization with AI-based predictions, we are confident that Kentyou Eye will play a crucial role in supporting the growth of Smart Communities throughout Europe.

As the project progresses, we look forward to sharing more about the exciting developments, new services, and the impact our technology is making on rural communities. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to work hand-in-hand with AURORAL to bridge the digital divide and foster sustainable, data-driven innovation.
