Water Mining Dashboard deployments in the 3 demo cases Part 1

“Deliverable 7.2 demonstrates the deployment of dashboards to three Case-Studies (CS) of the Water- Mining (WM) project. The development and customization of dashboards requires a close collaboration between dashboard developers and CS owners. Knowledge, challenges, data and developed tools need to be exchanged between the stakeholders in an environment of trust and commitment to innovation. Additionally, to achieve the full potential of a dashboard, combined with advanced analytics, the pilot and demonstration units need to go beyond start-up and reach the optimization stage. The aforementioned conditions are not easily met. WP7 needed to make the strategic decision to change all the CSs initially attributed, which took place at different moments of task 7.2 development. Deliverable 7.1 describes the architecture of the dashboard, without the use of WM CS data, and also mentions the efforts made to reach out to the initially attributed CSs. The present deliverable describes the deployment of dashboards for CS2, CS4 and CS5, as a currently on- going task. Regarding the following amendment to the WM project, Task 7.2 will continue to work on the deployment of the dashboards to the 3 WM CSs, and will provide an additional deliverable, entitled “D7.7- WM dashboard deployment-final version”, due in M44, with the complete work. Lessons learned on way are described in section 6.

Dashboards were designed and deployed for CS2, CS4 and CS5. ICT services and the required infrastructure were defined and implemented on case-to-case basis, and even on a technology basis, when required. Solutions were found based upon on discussions and agreements between Nessie developers, CS owners, and when required, technology developers. The Nessie engine, as the core of the dashboard, consists of a Web Server and a Geolocation-aware Database. Nessie offers a suite of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) functionalities that enables integration with data sources and analytics, hosted by the project partners. There is a system’s token-based authentication to ensure secure data exchange. To facilitate the use and implementation of Nessie’s API, a user-manual has been developed and distributed to the involved partners (Annex II- User manual for Nessie’s API). Figure 11 shows the Nessie dashboard implementation in CS4, for the NTUA technologies, after customization by the CS owners. The dashboards of each CSs are presently at different stages of customization, namely depending on moment the new CSs started collaborating with WP7. The next steps for each CS dashboard’s are clarified in section 7.1.”
