In order to make use of the rich potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) in real-world scenarios, technologies and tools developed so far need to be demonstrated in controlled environments with the ultimate goal of validation. Given the specific nature of this Call, widely replicable pilots are targeted in view of solving specific societal challenges, in the context of EU-Brazil cooperation.
Pilots aim at validating IoT approaches to specific socio-economic challenges in real-life settings. Pilots' objectives include user acceptability, technology assessment and optimisation, business model validation, approaches to sustainability and replicability. They should be implemented through close cooperation between users and suppliers with the active involvement of relevant stakeholders on the demand side.

The joint call would support three pilots each addressing a distinct area among the following areas of interest for EU-Brazil collaboration:
Environmental monitoring
Utilities: smart water management
Utilities: energy management at home and in buildings
Smart assisted living and wellbeing
Smart manufacturing: customisation
This includes:
Continuous Additive Manufacturing;
Flexible automation for robot manufacturing;
Robot systems for additive manufacturing;
Production of one-of-a-kind customer designs; and dynamic production systems and shop floors - mobile robot for efficient and flexible use in cleanrooms.

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU up to EUR 1.5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately by three distinct projects.

Types of action: RIA Research and Innovation action
