Public funding awarded for SENTINEL: an AI research project

EOLOS has been awarded a grant under the RedIA programme by the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Service through Red.es. This project is co-financed by the European Union’s European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), under the banner “A Way of Making Europe”.

The SENTINEL experimental development project aims to transform metocean data collection into high-value predictive insights through the application of artificial intelligence models.

With over a decade of experience and a fleet of buoys deployed across the world’s oceans, EOLOS has built a unique repository equivalent to more than 100 years of real-world metocean data. This distinctive asset enables the training of advanced machine learning models with an unprecedented level of robustness within the industry.

The project focuses on the development, integration and validation of a system combining buoys and metocean monitoring systems equipped with advanced sensors, the EOLOS Digital Hub and a suite of AI models capable of generating advanced real-time forecasts by combining wind and wave data.

These forecasts are designed to enhance the safety, efficiency and sustainability of critical maritime operations in both civilian and defense applications. The resulting operational benefits will be delivered through our OCEO product initiative.
