ABOUT

INSPIRER project aims at setting the foundations for the development of an innovative management system for the integrated supervision of marble quarries based on Geo-location, IoT (Internet of Things) and BI (Business Intelligence) techniques. The ultimate goal is to implement a complete Decision Support System (DSS), enabling smart operations within a modern marble quarry.

At the current stage, the system will provide the capability to manage large volumes of data in order to fulfill the main supervision-related goals, however, it will be designed to adopt additional necessary functions in the future. More specifically, the scope of the project is divided in four parts. The first part concerns the development of an IoT network, which will act as a data receiver of the logging sensors. The second part is the core of the supervision system, as it includes the BI platform for the macroscopic and microscopic analysis of the collected data. The third part consists of the user interface where the IoT platform provides real-time information for decision making, while the BI system provides synthetic data. In the fourth and last part, each group of users gains access to the required information according to the needs of the respective roles.

For the implementation of the system at Volakas quarry (IKTINOS SA) in Drama, it’s specific conditions and requirements need to be investigated and addressed in the context of pilot operation of the system.
