Meet some of the German IPCEI-CIS Projects
The following projects represent the multitude of applications and industries that benefit from 8ra's technological advancements:
- The Cloud4Rail project is creating a modular IT platform for automated railway operations, tested in the Digital Railway Test Field. It will demonstrate the platform’s feasibility and its response to hardware failures.
- DTAG is constructing innovations for EdgeConnect, a full-service stack that offers independent, open Edge cloud services, as part of the IPCEI program. High-quality digital services across EU borders are made possible by the emphasis on smooth cloud-to-edge integration, increased security, and increased efficiency.
- In order to promote sustainability and future software development in Europe's Multi-Provider Cloud-Edge Continuum, the ApeiroRA project is building a flexible, secure, and energy-efficient cloud-edge infrastructure.
- A safe, scalable IoT infrastructure with post-quantum secure cloud connections is being developed by the PoQuaSIA project, guaranteeing low-latency connectivity for vital applications such as teleoperated driving.
- The BIGREEN project from Lindner SE creates modular Edge-Cloud systems that optimise energy use and provide security through multi-layer confidential computing, using waste heat for building heating and hot water supplied by renewable energy.
- With tools like Edge Build & Connect and Edge Kick-Start, Siemens' Kicks for Edge initiative supports SMEs and novice developers while fostering interoperability and broadening the range of Edge technology options. This allows IT and OT players to take advantage of the Cloud-Edge continuum.
