Basic information

Brief description of the consultancy firmTrasnational networks of industrial specialization in Precision Farming (part of Industry 4.0) are weak in CE, being restricted to very specific thematic projects in Horizon 2020 or ERA-Net. This because (a) tech-transfer in PF is still mainly focused on a given territorial domains where R&D is commissioned to local UNIs & R&D centres & innovation is much related to meet local farmers’ requirements (b) PF is left as sub-category of advanced manufacturing RIS3 & projects financed by regional ERDF are normally opened only to companies+R&D, preventing direct participation of farmers sector in the co-creation approach.This traditional “local-based” knowledge approach is currently a limit in the competitiveness of PF advanced manufacturing supply chains. Main objective of TrasF@rm 4.0 is to change the traditional local-based approach to tech-transfer in PF in a wider trasnational open innovation environment, where companies/clusters/R&D performers/farmers of 5 CE regions are involved in industrial interactions, to improve the regional industrial specializations in PF machines & IT devices &bring some new KET-based technological solutions (developed by joint industrial undertaking) with TRL>7 closer to market. Project core are 3 joint industrial undertakings focused on the 3 crucial innovation PF domains: new ISOBUS application, remote and proximal sensing & big and smart data management. Pools of engineers & R&D performers from Tranf@rm consortium bring some tech-tryouts (based on previous research) to a TRL7 &test them in model farms.This represents a radical change value-chain exploitation since Transf@rm offers a wider access to pool of tech excellences and large flexibility in tech optimization. Tranf@rm sparks a bottom-up implementation of RIS3 as it enhances the industrial specialization of the advanced manufacturing regional sector in applications for smart agriculture to answer the question: How can CE industry anticipate the market changes in smart agriculture?
