Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

The Data Act applies to the group of holders of data (not only but also SMEs) acting on the European market irrespective of the place of establishment of those manufacturers and providers.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Since the addressed existing or to be developed standards enable particularly semantic interoperability across the IoT, they also provide cross domain and cross-vendor IoT semantic interoperability for exchanging data with common understanding of its meaning. This will become increasingly important as greater quantities of data are generated and shared across the IoT. It opens new market opportunities in the domains of e.g. Healthcare, Smart Grid, Smart Metering, Intelligent Transport Systems, Industrial Automated Systems, and Smart Cities, which depend on collecting and processing data. With that, it directly supports the strong European goal of the “digital single market”.

Description of Activities

There is a lack of standard procedures installers can employ to determine whether their installation work has caused new electromagnetic interference problems. The challenge is to develop guidelines to help detect major emissions problems in the field early to fix them promptly, in a proactive and preventive manner that are complementary and coherent with standard emissions tests as part of compliance assessment.

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)

The alternative test methods proposed in the standards I contribute to benefit both SMEs and larger enterprises during their product certification processes, resulting in reduced costs, diminished noncompliance risks, and accelerated time-to-market for their products.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)

This action has the potential to positively impact SMEs and European society by addressing the challenges identified in the EV charging infrastructure. For SMEs, developing standardized procedures and traceable measurement methods creates market opportunities, enabling SMEs to design and manufacture products that meet regulatory requirements more efficiently. Moreover, the project’s focus on reliability in EVCS can increase consumer trust in SME-produced technologies, enhancing competitiveness.

Impact on society (5th Open Call)

The project supports the transition to electromobility for European society, aligning with EU environmental goals. A better standardized EVCS facilitates sustainable mobility growth and ensures grid stability while providing solutions for electromagnetic disturbances and power quality issues.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

SMEs are major contributors in the RFID industry, contributing to in particular tags, readers and system integration. All of them require harmonised standards. Therefore, the work and content of ISO/IEC 18000-63 is very important to them.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

This activity is the continuation of the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC31 WG4 "Radio communications" work to serve the international and European industry and society to enhance standards to better serve the needs of Europe and the whole world and in particular to provide standards that are in particular relevant for IoT and DPP.
RFID (UHF RFID, RAIN RFID) are a major used technology for the supply chain and production to reduce overproduction and waste. Furthermore, it is a technology for the Digital Product Passport, which is strongly supported by the European Commission for sustainable product regulations.

Impact on society (8th Open Call)

The resulting harmonised standard will benefit SMEs, other industry players and European societies through the availability of provide and use certified products according the RED. RFID (UHF RFID, RAIN RFID) is a major used technology for the supply chain and production to reduce overproduction and waste. Furthermore, it is a technology for the Digitial Product Passport, which is strongly supported by the European Commission for sustainable product regulations.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)

Use of technologies based on wireless energy sharing are extending to more and more applications yielding a fast-growing market in the consumer electronics sector. Society and industry should overcome obstacles for stakeholders to fully take advantage of this technological opportunity: The current wired (and non-P2P wireless)-based development model that makes charging applications highly centralised and inflexible generates inconvenience to users. The P2P wireless energy sharing vision that universally accessible standards can have the same positive effects on society as wired energy sharing standards and has identified P2P wireless energy sharing interactions as an area where standards can foster the development of innovative approaches, promote use of P2P applications and contribute to the solution of existing social energy sharing challenges.

Accelerating the use of digital twins, as the existence of the semantic repository allows the digital twin to manage semantics while the physical twin is managing data. This methodology will ensure a consistent continuum between the physical twin and the digital twin.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

The following impacts are identified at a general level:
The Internet of Things (IoT) addresses many societal challenges including climate change, resource and energy efficiency and ageing.
In the emerging IoT economy, voluntary global standards can accelerate adoption, drive competition, and enable cost-effective introduction of new technologies.
Standardisation facilitates the interoperability, compatibility, reliability, security and efficiency of operations on a global scale among different technical solutions, stimulating industry innovation and providing greater clarity to technology evolution.
Interoperability between IoT networks operated by different companies along the value chain opens up opportunities to address EU Policy objectives, e.g. greater resource efficiency for a more circular economy, sustainable and responsible supply chains through transparency and traceability, and others

Impact on society (7th Open Call)

The number of connected devices is expected to exceed 20 billion by 2020. This market will be fostered by proper interoperability standards. Europe is strong in IoT innovation and has made significant technical contributions (AIOTI) including in some specific standardization contexts. AIOTI now has a recognized presence at the ISO level, and it is now key to concretize this presence so that European innovation is well represented.
