Psicontrol participates in a research project for sustainable and efficient industrial IIoT systems
Tuesday, June 17, 2025
Last Wednesday at our new headquarters, we kicked off the CORRELATE research project, in which Psicontrol will be playing an important role.
The CORRELATE project is an imec.icon research project that aims at innovating IIoT systems with the goal of making them more sustainable and efficient. How will this be achieved? By optimizing energy consumption through the selective activation of devices, targeted data collection, and the smart use of machine learning.
Psicontrol will drive this project in collaboration with several other industrial companies and research institutions.
Background regarding the CORRELATE project
As the manufacturing industry accelerates its digitalization, IIoT systems based on wireless sensors and actuators are becoming increasingly important for monitoring and controlling installations. These devices often tend to run on batteries, supercapacitors, or via energy generation. However, the increased energy consumption associated with the devices presents a growing ecological and economic challenge.
In this regard, to operate in both a sustainable and cost-effective manner, there is a clear need to develop energy-conscious embedded systems for truly wireless IIoT applications. This in turn requires hardware and software that optimize energy consumption.
Therefore, the CORRELATE project addresses three major challenges that prevent energy-efficient monitoring and control within IoT systems; specifically, inefficient data transfer, inefficient processing, and inefficient deployment.
This project sets out several ambitious innovation goals, including ensuring a 20-year lifetime for an IIoT system, an industrial accuracy level of 99%, and achieving the energy targets that have been set without reducing the quality of the application.
