The SoundCity Project MONICA aims to provide a very large scale demonstration of multiple existing and new Internet of Things technologies for Smarter Living. The solution will be deployed in 6 major cities in Europe. MONICA demonstrates a large scale IoT ecosystem that uses innovative wearable and portable IoT sensors and actuators with closed-loop back-end services integrated into an interoperable, cloud-based platform capable of offering a multitude of simultaneous, targeted applications. All ecosystems will be demonstrated in the scope of large scale city events, but have general applicability for dynamically deploying Smart City applications in many fixed locations such as airports, main traffic arterials, and construction sites. Moreover, it is inherent in the MONICA approach to identify the official standardisation potential areas in all stages of the project. MONICA will demonstrate an IoT platform in massive scale operating conditions; capable of handling at least 10.000 simultaneous real end-users with wearable and portable sensors using existing and emerging technologies (TRL 5-6) and based upon open standards and architectures. It will design, develop and deploy a platform capable of integrating large amounts of heterogeneous, interoperable IoT enabled sensors with different data capabilities (video, audio, data), resource constraints (wearables, Smartphones, Smartwatches), bandwidth (UWB, M2M), costs (professional, consumer), and deployment (wearable, mobile, fixed, airborne) as well as actuators (lights, LED, cameras, alarms, drones, loudspeakers). It will demo end-to-end, closed loop solutions covering everything from devices and middleware with semantic annotations through a multitude of wireless communication channels to cloud based applications and back to actuation networks. Humans-in-the-Loop is demonstrated through integrating Situational Awareness and Decision Support tools for organisers, security staff and sound engineers situation rooms.

Known as either "Industrial Revolution 4.0" or as "Industrial Renaissance", the need for new manufacturing approaches is widely accepted in the EU. SatisFactory aims to contribute to the transformation of traditional industrial environments using cutting-edge technologies in ways that are both productive and appealing to youth. The fundamental component of the proposed system will be the assessment and storage of the explicit and tacit knowledge created on the shop floor by aggregating a set of heterogeneous smart devices and sensors (Linksmart/FIT, Smart Sensors/ISMB) and extracting context-aware information based on their measurements (Semantics Engine/EPFL). The distribution of this knowledge will be based on 3 important system tools. Firstly, a training platform will allow the fast and intuitive education of employees (R3Donline/Regola). Secondly, a collaboration platform (CoSpaces/FIT) will stimulate and promote team interactions. Finally, ubiquitous user interfaces (BRIDGE/FIT) will support all employees seamlessly in real time and on the move. SatisFactory will also utilise the aggregated knowledge in order to leverage the control and re-adaptation of facilities (mainDSS/ABE) and streamline the workload (Human Behavior Analysis/CERTH). In order to enhance working experience and thus increase the workplace attractiveness, augmented reality and gamification (CollabReview/FIT) approaches will be utilized. Additionally modern wearable devices (ISMB; Glasses/GlassUp) will allow the interaction of workers with the system without disrupting their workflow. All 12 foreseen products of SatisFactory will be deployed and evaluated in two industrial sites representing automotive industry (COMAU) and battery construction (SUNLIGHT). Validation will assess the impact and reveal the capabilities of SatisFactory towards the promotion of novel and viable business models for increased innovation potential, flexibility and productivity,while enhancing workplace attractiveness
