  5. GorenjeGroup • Home, products and services for home – MDA (cold, hot, wet), SDA, HVAC, services for home, kitchen furniture • Ecology, ecology-related services - comprehensive waste management • Other - tool-making, engineering, hotels, services, trade • EU Projects

  6. Gorenje Contribution

  7. Designing components • Designing flexible communication protocol. • Designing power and control electronic boards for suitable household appliance (stand alone refrigerator). • Communication module based on Wi-Fi technology. • Residential gateway based on Linux operating system and ARM MCU.

  8. First six months activities

  9. WP1 - Research & System identification [M1-M15] • T1.4 Technological versant (GORE,ARDU,AMIS,LBL) [M1-M11] • T1.4.1 Boards for smart appliances • Though the consortium comprises partners with a notable experience on developing such boards, both in • proprietary and in open source frameworks, a preliminary reconnaissance of the principal market products and • research open points will suitably address the subsequent work of these partners. • T1.4.2 Wired and wireless networks. • Similar remark for this subtask. • T1.4.3 Performance prediction and modelling • The operational network needs to be guaranteed to perform under tight bandwidth constraints, which are • required for the experimentation phase of the project, as well as for the product design. The performance • guarantee comes from simulation and analytical models, which assume diverse degrees of abstraction. We will • analyze modelling requirements and expected prediction accuracy of SandS communication network.

  10. WP2 - Electronics for remote control [M2-M12] • T2.1 Connection to the physical appliances (GORE, ARD) [M2-M8] • Understanding of appliances functionalities. • Arduino U-Node connection with physical appliances. • Analogous connection through Gorenje brand solution. • Basic control tests on appliances through Arduino and Gorenje boards.

  11. WP7 Smallscalemockup

  12. Deliverables • D7.1 – Report on mockup installation (CARTIF), M15 • D7.2 – Report on options validation (ARD), M16 • D7.3 – Report on validated communication protocols and interfaces boards (LBL), M18 • D7.4 – Library of recipes and templates of basic scenarios (GORE), M20 • D7.5 – Report on collected data with corresponding analysis (ARD), M23
