Sensorización para el Patrimonio Histórico

El patrimonio histórico material es sin duda uno de los elementos que confiere a cada territorio de un carácter particular y único, tratándose de uno de sus principales recursos culturales e históricos. Nuestra provincia, por ejemplo, está sembrada de edificios, monumentos, yacimientos, y otros puntos de interés que sirve de testamento a la miríada de culturas que han dejado su huella en la región. Estas estructuras sirven como registro en piedra de una historia que vuelve a la vida cuando se la conoce gracias a la labor de restauradores e historiadores, de visitas guiadas y centros de interpretación. Una correcta adecuación del patrimonio nos permite disfrutar de un fragmento de nuestra historia, a menudo preservado durante décadas, siglos, o incluso milenios.

patrimonio históricopatrimonio históricoSe trata, por otra parte, de una longevidad a menudo más frágil de lo que parece: la exposición continuada a la intemperie, la posible presencia de termitas, ácaros y otras plagas, por no hablar del trajín continuo de visitantes, pueden acabar dañando el patrimonio si no se cuida adecuadamente. Esto no significa que deban dejar de aprovecharse, inhibiendo su uso turístico o social: al final, la mejor herramienta para el cuidado del patrimonio es el propio interés de la ciudadanía. Sin embargo, sí que hay que prestar especial atención a estos factores de riesgo, y para ello una sensorización adecuada, ayudada por las tecnologías IoT, resulta fundamental.

Un buen ejemplo de ello es el control de los parámetros ambientales mediante el uso de sensores que midan el nivel de humedad y temperatura relativas, tanto ambiental (los parámetros del aire en el entorno inmediato de las instalaciones) como de contacto (sobre la propia superficie de los elementos más delicados o expuestos). También es habitual el uso de fotómetros, que permiten medir la intensidad de la radiación solar incidente, así como el uso de ultrasonidos para la

detección de plagas de insectos. Finalmente, un control adecuado del aforo puede ayudar no solo a preservar el patrimonio, si no también a realizar una gestión más eficiente de las visitas.

La preservación del patrimonio es una labor vital, no solo por el valor turístico del mismo, sino sobre todo por lo que representa: una historia en común, una línea que nos conecta con nuestro pasado, y con el presente de nuestra comunidad. Asegurémonos entonces, con herramientas como éstas, de que tenga también un futuro.

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.
