One card, with so many features and solutions – AMANDA, Autonomous self-powered miniaturized sensor for intelligent environmental sensing and asset tracking in smart IoT environments

The H2020 AMANDA project is successfully undergoing the second year of implementation. The total value of the project is EUR 3,999,625.00 and is 100% financed by the EU. The AMANDA consortium consists of 8 partners from 6 different European countries: Centre for Research and Technology Hellas – CERTH (Greece), Imec R&D, nanoelectronics and digital technologies (The Netherlands), Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland), Lightricity Ltd (England), e-peas - Electronic Portable Energy Autonomous Systems (Belgium), Ilika plc (England), Microdul AG (Switzerland), Penta d.o.o. (Croatia).

The main objective of the project is to investigate and implement the possibility of manufacturing a multisensor autonomous card, and it is expected that upon successful completion of the project, the autonomous multisensor card will find its widespread use in IT solutions based on IoT technology. Accordingly, the consortium defined five (5) so-called "Use Cases" of the AMANDA ASSC (Autonomous Smart Sensing Card):

Thirteen (13) operational scenarios were also identified after the research was conducted (The Voice of the Customers), each linked to one of the previously noted use cases. The AMANDA ASSC card will provide the ability to monitor air quality, temperature, humidity, long-range traceability that can easily be implemented in smart building or smart city solutions, but also on the body (wearable device), as well as on propulsion machines (industrial IoT). The identified scenarios are shown in the table below, and more detailed information can be found on the official website of the AMANDA project (https://amanda-project.eu/).
