The service provides the ability to deliver to the client model training data sets with labels and metadata, which will later be used to conduct comparative analyses of AI algorithms by the target groups using the technologies under study. The datasets delivered to the client will be configured or customised in advance, as appropriate, according to the requirements and needs of the client of the service. Customisation processes will include configuring and adjusting the data and labelling according to the scopes of field operations, technological processes or communications to which the transferred data assets relate. These data sets include, but are not limited to, satellite and spatial data for remote sensing, phenological data for different crops, or synthetic data to expand training opportunities.

This service offers a comprehensive environmental analysis of the entire life cycle of your agri-food products, processes, or services, with a particular focus on innovative AI and robotic solutions. Our Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) gathers detailed data on natural resource extraction, environmental emissions, and fuel and energy consumption, specifically related to technologies tested within the agrifoodTEF project – such as AI-powered facilities, autonomous vehicles, and other robotic systems. This enables a robust assessment of environmental impacts across categories including climate change, ozone depletion, and resource scarcity. We also conduct a full carbon footprint analysis, focusing on greenhouse gas emissions and energy use directly linked to the operation and performance of these AI and robotic technologies. To support this process, we offer both general and technical assistance, guiding clients through each step of the LCA. The results help identify opportunities for resource optimisation and waste reduction, ultimately supporting informed business decisions based on tested, cutting-edge solutions. Additionally, our carbon footprint assessment facilitates voluntary emissions reporting and the development of decarbonisation strategies using secure, cloud-based data collection.

Our service thoroughly evaluates AI-based sensors by measuring key metrics like accuracy, mean squared error, and other tailored parameters. Testing is conducted in real-world environments where the sensor will be used, with reference data recorded or labelled for analysis. For certain sensors, we also utilise benchmark datasets to validate performance. We assess consistency under identical conditions, adaptability to environmental changes (e.g., light, temperature, or weather), and improvements in accuracy over time. Additionally, we measure power consumption, processing efficiency, and memory usage to ensure optimal resource utilisation. Response time between detection and action is evaluated for real-time applications, while extreme condition testing (e.g., bright light, rainy conditions, compacted soil) ensures robustness in challenging environments. We also verify data security and resilience against adversarial attacks. This comprehensive testing is essential, ensuring sensors meet high standards of precision, reliability, and efficiency. Benchmark datasets, standardised data collections used for validation, provide a reliable baseline for performance comparison. By addressing these aspects, our service ensures your sensor technology is ready for real-world deployment, delivering the performance and adaptability your application demands.
