Demonstrating robust data provision - data transmission and near real-time QC - employing a use case in a remote ocean region

Plan to develop a hardware prototype, which is capable to support standardised data collection and transmission as a proof of concept. We will build a radically Open Source (both software and hardware) sensor data harmonisation and communication module which will transform manufacturer specific, proprietary outputs into standardised formats and will enable data transmission via the recognized ENVRI transmission methods in an open, standardized way. To support marine domain RIs we will provide this module robustly boxed in order to survive harsh, marine environments. We are convinced that this will be a piece of RI key technology in the future. The work will be carried out in close cooperation with a SME from Spain, SENSORLAB S.L., http://www.sensorlab.es who has been partner on similar tasks in the past. The actual demo mission as described in task 3.3 of the DoA (…to highlight added value and and benefits of selected best practices…) will be carried out in the area of Canary Islands where PLOCAN will provide logistic support.
