SUMMARY:NorthStar Community Meeting on March 11–12
DESCRIPTION:On 11 March\, ThingWave AB participated in the NorthStar Community Meeting at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden\, where it presented an early prototype developed within the COP-PILOT Horizon Europe project. \nThe demonstration showcased how COP-PILOT technologies are being applied to improve safety in underground mining environments.  The prototype implemented a geofencing concept\, where data from a ThingWave RBM-XR bolt sensor triggered physical visual alerts to enhance hazard awareness. \nDuring the live demonstration\, CEO Jens Eliasson simulated load and elongation on the instrumented rock bolt. The sensor data was used in real time to control an LED strip\, visually indicating risk levels within the geofenced area. As stress increased\, the lighting changed from green to yellow and then to red\, providing an immediate and intuitive warning of potentially dangerous conditions. \nThis use case illustrates how COP-PILOT integrates Industrial IoT\, sensing technologies\, and advanced connectivity such as 5G to deliver real-time monitoring and early warning systems. The demonstration highlighted the project’s role in advancing smart\, connected safety solutions for industrial environments\, particularly in high-risk sectors such as underground mining.

SUMMARY:Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Information Security in Edge-Cloud Applications
DESCRIPTION:As Cloud–Edge–IoT (CEI) ecosystems continue to evolve across Europe’s digital landscape\, the need to securely share\, process\, and govern data across distributed environments has become a central challenge. While edge computing strengthens local data control and confidentiality\, many advanced applications still require cross-domain data exchange and aggregation to deliver meaningful insights and ensure operational efficiency.\nIn this context\, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) are increasingly recognised as a key enabler for reconciling data usability with data protection\, sovereignty\, and trust. By embedding security and privacy mechanisms directly into system architectures\, PETs support a “security and privacy by design” approach for next-generation digital infrastructures. However\, their real-world adoption requires careful integration of technical\, regulatory\, and application-specific considerations. \nCOP-PILOT Horizon will contribute to the upcoming CEI-Sphere webinar\, joining forces with O-CEI Horizon and other leading initiatives to explore how these challenges are being addressed in practice within large-scale\, operational environments. \nThe project will share insights from its Large-Scale Pilot activities\, highlighting hands-on experience in deploying CEI solutions across complex\, multi-actor ecosystems. These experiences will illustrate how secure data sharing\, interoperability\, and trust can be achieved in real-world conditions\, beyond theoretical frameworks. \nThe webinar will feature: \n\nA presentation of a PET study developed by Fraunhofer ISST\, providing a structured approach for selecting and implementing PET strategies in edge–cloud systems\nPractical insights from the COP-PILOT and O-CEI Large-Scale Pilots\, showcasing real-world deployment experiences in CEI environments\nA panel discussion on secure\, scalable\, and trustworthy Cloud–Edge–IoT architectures supporting Europe’s digital transformation\n\nBy bridging research and deployment experience\, COP-PILOT aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how PETs can be effectively implemented to enable secure collaboration\, data sovereignty\, and innovation across distributed infrastructures. \nRegister here to attend

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:EuCNC & 6G Summit
DESCRIPTION:UPV and Nokia Spain Presented Remote Driving and Inter-Slice Connectivity Results at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026\nDuring EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026 in Málaga\, Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV)\, in collaboration with Nokia Spain\, presented the poster “Validating Remote Driving via Field Characterization and Inter-Slice Connectivity”\, showcasing recent work on 5G-enabled remote driving\, private network federation\, and end-to-end teleoperation across isolated 5G Standalone Non-Public Networks. \nThe activity was carried out in the context of the COP-PILOT project\, specifically contributing to Cluster 2 – Smart Sustainable IoT Solutions in Valencia and aligning with UC#2.2 – Smart and Sustainable IoT-Connected Campus. Within this use case\, the UPV campus acts as a controlled smart-city-like environment where advanced IoT\, connectivity\, edge-cloud\, and data-driven mechanisms can be validated under realistic operational conditions. \nThe work presented by UPV and Nokia Spain focused on the interconnection of two isolated 5G Non-Public Networks: a Visiting NPN at UPV in Valencia\, where an Autonomous Mobile Robot was deployed\, and a Host NPN at Nokia Spain in Madrid\, where an immersive cockpit was used for remote operation. The two domains were connected through a secure inter-slice VPN architecture\, enabling the extension of local slice contexts across administrative and geographical domains. \nThe poster described a two-phase validation methodology. First\, UPV performed radio environment characterization of the campus 5G private network\, assessing coverage\, signal quality\, throughput\, and the impact of RAN-level QoS policies. Second\, the partners validated the federated inter-slice architecture through an end-to-end remote-driving experiment\, in which the robot at UPV was controlled from the Nokia XR Lab cockpit in Madrid. \nThe results demonstrated the feasibility of remote driving over federated 5G private networks and highlighted the importance of slice prioritization\, uplink video performance\, and reliable inter-domain connectivity for robotic and immersive applications. The activity also provided insights into future mechanisms for automated inter-domain slice selection\, policy negotiation\, and latency-sensitive traffic management. \nFrom the COP-PILOT perspective\, this activity contributes to the development of interoperable\, distributed\, and intelligent IoT-edge-cloud environments for smart campuses and smart cities. By combining 5G private networks\, mobile robotics\, immersive control interfaces\, and cross-domain connectivity\, the work supports the broader Cluster 2 objective of validating scalable digital infrastructure for sustainable\, connected\, and future-ready urban environments. \nThe participation in EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026 provided an opportunity to disseminate COP-PILOT-related research outcomes to the European 5G/6G community and to engage with researchers\, industry representatives\, technology providers\, and project partners working on next-generation communication networks\, private 5G deployments\, robotics\, and service orchestration.
