The H2IOSC project was presented at the 9th International SpliTech Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologies held in Croatia on June 25-28, 2024.
The SpliTech Conference brings together researchers, scientists, engineers, and professionals from around the world to discuss and share their latest advances and developments in the fields of Internet of Things (IoT), Radio-frequency identification (RFID), Smart Cities, Energy, and E-Health.
E-RIHS.it, the leading research infrastructure of the H2IOSC Cluster, coordinated by the CNR ISPC – Institute for Heritage Science, participated at the International SpliTech Conference to share the H2IOSC project’s first results on IoT-based monitoring and digital twinning applied in the field of Cultural Heritage.
More in-depth, the CNR ISPC research team showcased the DIGILAB, a digital access platform for the Italian node of E-RIHS, providing data management, digital tools, and services to boost cultural heritage preservation, fruition, and study.
A key feature of the DIGILAB architecture is its capability to support geo-localization and real-time monitoring of cultural heritage sites in terms of environmental conditions, structural integrity, and diagnostics. This is achieved by leveraging novel IoT systems and large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Integrating WSNs into the digital platform improves the remote monitoring and control of cultural sites. These networks facilitate the collection of real-time data on factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, providing crucial insights for the Cultural Heritage research community. Moreover, WSNs enable proactive measures to be taken in response to emerging threats, thereby mitigating risks and minimizing damage to cultural assets at a national level.
Participation in the International SpliTech Conference provided an opportunity to share the H2IOSC project and its experience and to establish new collaborations with experts in the field, supporting the development and adoption of smart and sustainable technologies worldwide.
