The main goal of the DataBio project is to show the benefits of Big Data technologies in the raw material production from agriculture, forestry and fishery/aquaculture for the bio-economy industry to produce food, energy and bio-materials responsibly and sustainably. DataBio proposes to deploy a state of the art, big data platform on top of the existing partners’ infrastructure and solutions – the Big DATABIO Platform. Achieved impacts are measured against anticipations. In this webinar, we present the impact of the DataBio project and of its big data platform after three years of implementation, and we illustrate some of the novel breakthroughs on practical cases of artificial intelligence applications that are meaningfully boosting crop monitoring businesses with a global potential.

Pipelines vs. Services
Pipeline
• A chain of processing components: the output data
of each element is the input data of the next
• Clear interfaces between components and to outside
• A ”white box” showing internal wiring for developer
Service
• Provides usability to end users
• No display of internal wirings of components
• Accessed through API:s (web services, remote calls)
• Activated remotely through database queries (”end
points”) and executed in the cloud.
• Represents a ”black box”.

Pilot: Precision Agriculture in Olives, Fruits, Grapes
• Smart farming pilot focusing on the exploitation of
heterogeneous data, facts and scientific knowledge
to facilitate decisions and their application in the field
• The pilot promotes sustainable farming practices
through the provision of irrigation, fertilization and
pest/disease management advices
• The farmer benefits from the provided big-data
technologies and advisory services by better
managing the natural resources, optimizing the use
of agricultural inputs and increasing farm yields

Prediction and real-time alerts of diseases and pests breakouts
• Process
• Collect, validate and store farm IoT data
• Combine with EO and historical farm data
• Perform initial processing, monitoring and
cross-checking on the raw data
• Push the validated values to CEP for further analysis
(temporal reasoning) for triggering early alerts in real-time
• Early experiments with olives (left)
