SITRIC

Development of a Traceable IoT Monitoring Platform for the Regulation of Critical Infrastructures 

The main goal of the SITRIC project is to develop a comprehensive platform based on firmware running on certified commercial microcontrollers, aimed at the secure and efficient monitoring of infrastructures, with encryption capabilities, secure communication, data traceability, and cloud integration. The system will consist of low-power IoT nodes and an associated cloud infrastructure, with the possibility of integrating blockchain-type technologies to ensure the authenticity and tamper-proof logging of the generated data. The aim is to improve the ability to respond to structural failures and move towards a predictive, secure, and traceable maintenance model.

Worldsensing role

Besides being the technical coordinator of the project, Worldsensing will develop the following technology:

  • Secure and modular firmware capable of controlling sensors, managing communications, and applying efficient encryption methods in low-power IoT devices.
  • Secure communication: Develop and integrate communication protocols that are resistant to attacks and energy-efficient, compatible with LPWAN networks and environments with limited coverage.
  • Cloud infrastructure: Deploy a cloud architecture that enables the reception, analysis, and real-time visualization of data, with integration into external systems and guaranteed scalability
  • IoT node integration testing: Test the combined operation of the hardware and firmware of the IoT node under controlled conditions.

In addition, a complete use scenario for the IoT node will be developed and simulated to detect potential operational, security, or reliability limitations, and the IoT node will be deployed in a real infrastructure environment to validate its technical and operational feasibility. The robustness of the entire system (hardware, firmware, communication, and cloud) will be assessed under real-world usage conditions.

This project is part of the Worldsensing–University of Barcelona Chair on Industrial IoT.
