¿Qué es RESPIRA?

RESPIRA es una plataforma IoT en la que se registran y pueden consultarse, en tiempo real, los datos sobre calidad ambiental generados por dispositivos instalados en diferentes puntos de la geografía de la provincia de Badajoz.

En esta plataforma se integran registros que llegan desde estaciones de la AEMET, desde los dispositivos RESPIRA, y desde cualquier otro dispositivo de medición de calidad ambiental que voluntariamente se haya incorporado a este proyecto.

¿Qué es RESPIRA?

RESPIRA es una solución tecnológica IoT de código abierto compuesta por estaciones de medición de calidad del aire y por una plataforma web en la que se recogen y analizan las diferentes valoraciones sobre el estado del aire que respiramos, permitiendo así estudiar sus evoluciones a lo largo del tiempo con el fin de observar posibles procesos climáticos en nuestro territorio.

¿Qué puedo encontrar en la plataforma RESPIRA?

Todas las estaciones de AEMET

Estaciones de la Agencia Europea de Medioambiente

Todas las estaciones RESPIRA

Cualquier otro sensor que conecte la comunidad

COMUNIDAD RESPIRA

Cualquiera puede construir su propia estación RESPIRA, para que una vez conectada a una red Wi-Fi transmita y comparta los datos de su ubicación, pero esta novedosa plataforma permite además que un sinfín de dispositivos que midan parámetros ambientales puedan sumarse, conectarse y compartir sus resultados con la comunidad.

Siendo fieles a los principios de compartición de la filosofía Open Data, los datos sobre la calidad medioambiental generados por toda esta red de estaciones de medición (RESPIRA, AEMET, EEA, o cualquier otro que se incorpore), quedan disponibles en una plataforma web abierta para que quienes estén interesados puedan usarlos a su antojo pero, sobre todo, para que todo el mundo tenga acceso a una información fiable y actualizada sobre la calidad ambiental de su pueblo o ciudad.

¿Cómo surgió RESPIRA?

FIWARE Space, de la mano de Telefónica y de la Diputación de Badajoz, lanzó el Reto IoT 2019 para todas aquellas empresas y emprendedores dispuestos a devanarse un poquito los sesos y plantear una solución tecnológica que permitiese generar una herramienta a través de la que monitorizar la calidad medioambiental de los pueblos y ciudades de la provincia de Badajoz.

Tras analizar muchas propuestas, finalmente fue la idea de la empresa extremeña PanStamp la que convenció al jurado. RESPIRA empezó como una idea que pretendía dar respuesta a este Reto IoT 2019 y hoy, es una realidad abierta a todos.

Distintivo RESPIRA

Desde ahora, si encuentras un edificio que luzca esta pegatina, recuerda que en ese lugar hay instalada una estación RESPIRA y que por lo tanto, se está midiendo la calidad del aire que estás respirando. Puedes comprobarlo escaneando el código QR que encontrarás o bien accediendo directamente a la plataforma a través de https://calidadmedioambiental.badajoz.es/

FIWARE SPACE

FIWARE Space is the innovation center of the Provincial Council of Badajoz to bring the new technologies of IoT and Big Data to citizens, SMEs and start-ups. It is constituted as an official Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) in Badajoz province to promote the digitization and transformation of companies through technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and artificial intelligence with FIWARE as data connector from different sources.

This center is part of a global project called “Badajoz Es Más“, which aims to develop municipalities with a better quality of life through sustainable development. The objective is clear: to turn the province of Badajoz into an Intelligent Territory or a “Smart Province”. In order to achieve this goal, it is a must to involve the local companies, the public administration and the citizens.

FIWARE Space coordinates the activity related to the knowledge, use and possibilities offered by the Provincial Platform for Smart Management of Public Services, which allows the integration of information from different smart services in one place, to facilitate the analysis and management of services that are the responsibility of the Provincial Council of Badajoz. This platform uses the latest technologies promoted by the European Commission about how to integrate near real-time data and how to manage context information.

FIWARE Space is a non-profit innovation center that aims to make the technological knowledge and tools of the “Badajoz Es Más” project available to different entities, among which are:

– Public administrations
– Municipalities
– Small and medium enterprises
– The teaching and research staff of the university and other educational institutions
– The entrepreneurs
– The citizens

One of the main goals of this center is to support our small and medium enterprises through the digital transformation of the province. For this, the center offers to these entities de following services.

SERVICES

– A 2-month mentoring program to go deeper in the technology knowledge and the opportunities that are behind the intelligent province development, to know first-hand the technological work that is being carried out and how to take advantages of this digital transformation. In these 2 months, the company will adapt its solution or service to a FIWARE smart solution, thus being compatible with the platform used by the Badajoz Provincial council that connects all the data sources of the province, and with any other smart city platform that uses this technology.

– Specialized consulting and technical support for the integration of solutions in FIWARE. We help the creation and adaptation of data models, architecture knowledge and the possibilities of integrating into this European standard.

– Certification of solutions in the FIWARE Marketplace website of the FIWARE Foundation. We advise on how to apply with the solution developed to obtain the different certifications.

– Advice on acceleration programs. After the completion of the mentoring program, we try to find a suitable European acceleration program to take the project to the next level.

– Physical location for the development of integration in FIWARE. We have a physical space in which you can work to integrate the solution into FIWARE, with the tools and support of the technical office.

– Theoretical and practical training workshops. Every Friday of the year we conduct workshops to learn more about how a smart city works and what’s the technology behind.

– Visits to the innovation center. Interested people or entities can visit the center once a week to see first hand the digital transformation that is taking place in the province and meet the real solutions that are being installed.

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES FOR PYMES

FIWARE Space also carries out some unique activities throughout the year:

– Hackathons. Workday in which, by teams, a real technological problem is solved by multidisciplinary teams.

– IoT challenge. Companies are presented to solve a real problem of the province through technology. Once the applications have been submitted, an evaluating court chooses the winner, who will receive an economic endowment to carry out his idea and put it into operation in the province.

– Design Thinking Workshop. Workshop that aims to foster creativity through innovative new methodologies that will allow us to go deep in a specific challenge.

EVENTS

In addition to all this, FIWARE Space, in the hands of the Badajoz Provincial Council, participates in different local, national and international events in which it provides visibility to the local companies with the aim to contribute to the expansion of this companies in other regions.

Finally, it should be noted that FIWARE Space is considered as a 2-star FIWARE iHub, catalogued by the FIWARE Foundation, thanks to the work and the number of activities carried out to bring new technologies to citizens.
