COP-PILOT Showcased AgriFood Interoperability at CEI-Sphere Webinar
On 26 May 2026, COP-PILOT participated in the CEI-Sphere webinar “Solving Connected Data Challenges Through the Lens of AgriTech”, where project partner iLINK presented the vision, architecture, and progress of Cluster 3A – AgriTech Transformation and Sustainability Initiative (ATSI).
The session addressed interoperability through the lens of AgriTech and Greek logistics, two domains where COP-PILOT is developing concrete solutions to overcome fragmented data ecosystems. Panagiotis Zikos, CEO of iLINK, presented the Cluster 3A problem statement, highlighting persistent data silos across monitoring tools, robots, drones, and logistics platforms, which can contribute to crop yield losses of up to 30% due to delayed pest detection and post-harvest spoilage exceeding 20% because of inefficient logistics coordination.
The presentation provided an overview of the four Cluster 3A use cases, and attendees were also introduced to the roles of the Cluster 3A partners.
A key focus of the session was the regulatory framework shaping the future of digital logistics. The presentation examined Greece’s eMARK (myDATA e-Delivery) national digital freight system and the upcoming EU eFTI Regulation, which becomes mandatory across all EU Member States on 9 July 2027. COP-PILOT presented its approach as an interoperability layer capable of bridging national systems such as eMARK with the future EU eFTI common data set.
To address these challenges, the project combines Just-in-Time logistics optimisation through PowerFleet routing, blockchain-based tamper-proof supply chain records, and a FIWARE-based shared data layer that enables trusted and secure information exchange between stakeholders. Together, these technologies support more efficient logistics operations, reduced waste, improved traceability, and greater regulatory readiness.
The workshop also featured a detailed presentation of the Cluster 3A architecture, including the 5G Network Provider infrastructure, Secure Integration Fabric (SIF), Domain Orchestrators, Hyperledger Fabric-based traceability services, and AI-enabled PowerFleet logistics optimisation. These components demonstrate how COP-PILOT enables secure cross-domain data sharing, interoperability, and orchestration across heterogeneous systems operating throughout the Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum.
By sharing both the technical architecture and real-world deployment scenarios of Cluster 3A, the session contributed directly to CEI-Sphere discussions on Data Spaces, interoperability, digital logistics, and cross-sector orchestration, while showcasing how COP-PILOT is building more connected, efficient, and sustainable agricultural ecosystems across Europe.
This version explicitly preserves the elements you added: the problem statement, all four use cases, the individual partner roles, eMARK/eFTI, PowerFleet, FIWARE, Hyperledger Fabric, the Secure Integration Fabric, Domain Orchestrators, and the link to the CEI-Sphere discussions on Data Spaces and interoperability.
