The BISITE Group has more than 20 years of experience in the development of technological projects and AI is incorporated in many of its projects with the aim of processing a large volume of data and predicting the behaviour of machines or processes.

Corchado also presented some of the projects being developed at AIR Institute and the IoT Digital Innovation Hub, discussed the group’s participation in the DIGIS3 consortium and introduced the attendees to the BISITE Group’s technology-oriented training offer.

The development of technological projects

The talk covered other technologies, such as Blockchain, Industry 4.0, IoT or Edge Computing, in which the Group also has extensive experience, including projects such as:

Academic Certchain: Platform for the verification and certification of academic degrees with Blockchain.

NOIXION.TV: Online video and streaming platform using cryptocurrencies as a form of payment for viewing.

INNOBLOCKHAIN: IoT information through oracles and traceability using Blockchain.

CHROMOSOME: Platform that through IoT, AI and Blockchain facilitates behavioural change in energy consumption in sensorised homes. chromosome.usal.es

SMARTFARM: Automatic filling and weight level control system for livestock farms.

These and other projects were described in the talk given by the director of BISITE, which was very well received in Salamanca.
