SUMMARY:Solving Connected Data Challenges
DESCRIPTION:COP-PILOT Showcased AgriFood Interoperability at CEI-Sphere Webinar\n  \nOn 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). \nThe 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. \nThe presentation provided an overview of the four Cluster 3A use cases\, and attendees were also introduced to the roles of the Cluster 3A partners. \nA 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. \nTo 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. \nThe 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. \nBy 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. \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Cluster 3A (ATSI) In-Field Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:As part of COP-PILOT’s Cluster 3A\, AgriTech Transformation and Sustainability Initiative (ATSI)\, the project successfully carried out\, at the beginning of April\, the first fully integrated field demonstration of its robotic weed management solution in spinach cultivation fields in Kilkis\, Greece. \nFor the first time\, all core field components operated together as a unified system under real agricultural conditions. A custom-equipped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)\, developed and operated by the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA)\, autonomously navigated crop rows\, detecting and spot-treating weeds using on-board edge AI. At the same time\, a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle performed aerial monitoring of the same fields\, providing complementary insights from above. Data from both platforms were streamed in real time to the AgroApps 360 Farm Management Information System (FMIS)\, which acted as the operational backbone linking field-level intelligence with farm management processes. The demonstration provided a tangible example of COP-PILOT’s end-to-end orchestration capabilities across the Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum. \nThe activity validated the project’s integrated technology stack\, combining ground robotics\, aerial monitoring\, edge-based AI inference\, and cloud-enabled coordination within a single operational workflow. It demonstrated the solution’s readiness for deployment in real farming environments while showcasing the benefits of interoperable digital services for precision agriculture. \nThe demonstration brought together researchers from AUA\, specialists from AgroApps\, agronomists from Barba Stathis\, and local farmers collaborating with Barba Stathis. Participants engaged directly with the technologies in the field\, generating valuable discussions on operational workflows\, practical applicability\, and the integration of autonomous robotics\, edge intelligence\, and 5G-enabled services into day-to-day agricultural operations.

SUMMARY:10th International Exhibition “Supply Chain & Logistics” 2025 (with the 5th Cargo Truck & Van Expo)
DESCRIPTION:iLINK Presented the COP-PILOT Project at the 10th International “Supply Chain & Logistics” Exhibition\niLINK presented COP-PILOT at the 10th International Exhibition “Supply Chain & Logistics”\, held together with the 5th Cargo Truck & Van Expo at the Athens Metropolitan Expo. The exhibition is the largest event of its kind in South-Eastern Europe\, with more than 350 exhibitors and approximately 20\,000 visitors over three days\, covering commercial vehicles\, electro-mobility\, warehouse automation and digital supply-chain technologies. iLINK ran an exhibition stand with presentations to visiting professionals. \nCOP-PILOT was presented in full at the stand\, as the project through which iLINK is building its next generation of supply-chain technology. iLINK explained the project’s purpose — piloting emerging smart IoT platforms and decentralised intelligence across the cloud-edge continuum — and then walked visitors through the agri-food pilot in which iLINK’s own work sits\, following a batch of produce from the field\, through processing and distribution\, to the point of sale. \nThe presentation covered the full chain of what iLINK contributes. Crop-readiness information from the field triggers the dispatch of vehicles\, so transport is planned against what is actually ready rather than against a fixed schedule. The routing platform then plans and re-plans the journey under real operating conditions. Each batch is registered on a permissioned distributed ledger\, so that its origin\, its handling and the conditions under which it travelled form a single record that every party in the chain can verify and no party can alter after the fact. Conditions in refrigerated transport are monitored by edge devices on the vehicles. Finally\, the carbon footprint of the journey is computed and allocated down to the individual consumer package\, so that the environmental cost of a product can be stated per unit rather than estimated for a fleet. \nThe exhibition audience — logistics operators\, transport companies\, food producers\, retailers and technology buyers — responded to the parts of this that map onto obligations they already carry: demonstrating provenance to their customers\, proving cold-chain compliance\, and reporting on the carbon intensity of their freight. iLINK’s message was that these are not three separate systems but one traceable operational record\, and that what is being proven in the COP-PILOT agri-food pilot transfers directly to other regulated and quality-sensitive supply chains. \nThe event is recorded under COP-PILOT as an Industry & Use-case activity addressing an industry audience. It supported the project’s dissemination and exploitation objectives by presenting the project and its results to the largest concentration of supply-chain decision makers in the region. \nFind more on LinkedIn

SUMMARY:ICCS – International Symposium “Navigating the Future of Traffic Management”
DESCRIPTION:iLINK represented COP-PILOT at the International Symposium “Navigating the Future of Traffic Management”\niLINK represented COP-PILOT at the International Symposium “Navigating the Future of Traffic Management”\, organised in Athens by the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) of the National Technical University of Athens together with international organisations including ERTICO – ITS Europe\, CEDR\, PIARC\, the International Road Federation and the European Commission DG MOVE. The Symposium gathered more than 400 participants and over 100 speakers from 35 countries across five thematic tracks\, and included a technology exhibition and technical visits to motorway traffic management centres. \nAcross the Symposium’s sessions and networking\, iLINK’s contribution to the discussion centred on distributed ledger technology and what it makes possible in transport and logistics. iLINK explained the role blockchain plays in COP-PILOT: a permissioned ledger records the operational events of a supply chain (the origin of a consignment\, its handover between parties\, the conditions under which it travelled and the moment of delivery) so that every participant works from the same record and no participant can revise it afterwards. In a chain where producers\, processors\, carriers and buyers each keep their own systems\, this replaces reconciliation between databases with a single verifiable history\, without requiring any organisation to hand its data to another. \niLINK also discussed the value of this approach beyond the agri-food chain COP-PILOT pilots. The same mechanism applies wherever provenance\, custody or regulatory compliance must be demonstrated to a third party rather than asserted: the road transport of controlled goods\, dangerous or energy products\, cold-chain pharmaceuticals\, and the emerging reporting obligations on the carbon intensity of freight\, where an auditable record of distance\, load and handling is what makes a reported figure defensible. \nThe second strand of the discussion was routing. iLINK presented the just-in-time logistics work carried out in COP-PILOT\, in which dispatch and route planning respond to events arriving from the field rather than to a fixed daily plan. Delegates from traffic management authorities and infrastructure operators recognised the shared interest: freight routing that adapts to real conditions reduces empty running\, unnecessary vehicle-kilometres and peak-hour pressure\, which is a network-level outcome as much as a commercial one. Combining adaptive routing with a verifiable record of what was actually carried and when closes the loop between operational efficiency and accountability. \nFor COP-PILOT\, the event was an Industry & Use-case activity addressing an industry audience. It supported the project’s dissemination and networking objectives by connecting COP-PILOT’s blockchain traceability and smart logistics results to an international community of traffic managers\, road operators\, public authorities\, and technology providers. \nRead the news on the iLINK website

SUMMARY:6th Symposium on Circular Economy and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:On 17 June\, iLINK participated in the 6th Symposium on Circular Economy and Sustainability in Alexandroupolis\, Greece. Dr. Georgios Angelopoulos from iLINK had the opportunity to share insights from COP-PILOT Horizon. Georgios presented our work on transforming the agrifood chain through blockchain technology and smart logistics solutions\, making food systems more transparent\, traceable\, and efficient. \nThe presentation focused on two key use cases from Cluster 3A (Agriculture) within the COP-PILOT project. In this Cluster\, iLINK is responsible for securing data sharing and smart logistics for agri-food supply chains. These use cases are fully aligned with the Hourglass Model (developed by the CEI-Sphere Consortium)\, as they rely on a layered and modular system design that allows different technologies (IoT sensors\, UAVs\, robots\, cloud platforms) to work together through a common data layer. Ontologies are also used to ensure all systems understand and exchange data consistently\, enabling traceability\, automation\, and collaboration.

DESCRIPTION:iLINK Presented COP-PILOT at the 3rd “Navigating the Future” Conference on Green Transport and Logistics\niLINK participated as a Gold Sponsor in the 3rd “Navigating the Future” conference\, organised in Athens by Techno Publishing / T-Press and the magazine Logistics & Management under the auspices of the Hellenic Federation of International Road Transport Operators (OFAE). The conference is dedicated to green transport\, logistics and the supply chain\, and brought together more than thirty speakers from industry\, government and academia across six panel sessions. \niLINK contributed to the conference programme through the panel “Digital evolution in the road transport of energy products: new legislative requirements and technological solutions”\, in which Panagiotis Zikos\, CEO and Co-Founder of iLINK\, took part as a panellist. Alongside the panel\, iLINK presented its smart logistics portfolio\, including just-in-time (JIT) logistics\, and distributed COP-PILOT promotional material to conference delegates. \nCOP-PILOT was presented as the initiative through which iLINK is advancing its just-in-time logistics capability from a routing product into a data-driven service. iLINK explained that within COP-PILOT the dispatch of vehicles is triggered by real operational events coming from the field rather than by a fixed schedule\, that each consignment carries a verifiable record of its origin and handling\, and that the environmental cost of the journey is computed and reported per delivered unit. The audience of transport and logistics operators recognised these as answers to obligations they are already facing — customer demands for provenance\, and reporting requirements on the carbon intensity of freight. \niLINK also set out the value the project delivers to the company itself. COP-PILOT gives iLINK a real industrial pilot in which to harden its routing platform under live conditions\, access to a European consortium of cloud-edge-IoT technology providers\, and the opportunity to combine routing optimisation with distributed-ledger traceability into a single offering — a combination the Greek market does not currently have and which is transferable well beyond the agri-food sector. \nThe event is recorded under COP-PILOT as an Industry & Use-case activity addressing an industry audience. It supported the project’s dissemination and exploitation objectives by placing COP-PILOT’s smart just-in-time logistics and traceability results before the Greek transport\, logistics and supply-chain community.

SUMMARY:Governance for AI integration in traffic management systems (ACUMEN project stakeholder workshop\, Athens pilot)
DESCRIPTION:iLINK Contributed to the Stakeholder Dialogue on Governance for AI Integration in Traffic Management Systems\niLINK took part in the stakeholder workshop “Governance for AI integration in traffic management systems”\, organised for the Athens pilot of the ACUMEN project\, which is developing a governance and regulatory framework and a decision-support tool for the introduction of artificial intelligence and machine learning into transport management systems. The session was run as a closed roundtable with a small group of stakeholders from public transport operators\, infrastructure concessionaires\, municipal authorities and logistics operators\, so iLINK contributed through the discussion rather than through a formal presentation. \nThe conversation turned on two questions that COP-PILOT is addressing directly. The first was where the data needed to run AI in transport actually comes from\, and who is accountable for it: participants described fragmented systems\, the absence of a common data-sharing model and monitoring tools with no predictive capability. iLINK contributed the perspective it is building in COP-PILOT\, where operational data from vehicles\, edge devices and business systems is exchanged through standardised\, interoperable interfaces rather than point-to-point integrations\, so that data can be shared between organisations without either side surrendering control of its own systems. \nThe second was trust. Much of the discussion concerned transparency\, auditability and human oversight of algorithmic decisions\, and the recommendation that emerged was collaborative governance between public authorities\, private companies\, academia and civil society. iLINK contributed the view that trust in AI-supported transport decisions depends on the provenance of the data behind them being verifiable — the problem COP-PILOT addresses through permissioned distributed-ledger traceability\, where the record of what happened\, when and by whose authority cannot be altered after the fact. The same mechanism that lets a food batch be traced from field to shelf can make an AI-supported operational decision auditable. \niLINK also noted the relevance of COP-PILOT’s just-in-time logistics work to the inefficiencies in freight and last-mile delivery that participants identified as a contributor to congestion in the Athens metropolitan area: routing that responds to real conditions rather than to a fixed plan reduces empty running and unnecessary vehicle-kilometres\, which is a traffic management outcome as much as a logistics one. \nFor COP-PILOT\, this was an Industry & Use-case activity addressing an industry and public-authority audience. It supported the project’s dissemination and policy-engagement objectives by bringing COP-PILOT’s approach to interoperable data exchange\, verifiable provenance\, and smart logistics into a governance-focused discussion on the deployment of AI in European transport systems.
