The IDP Group leads the innovation project PISCIA – Platform for the interoperability of water cycle services, funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and by the European Union, within the framework of the Challenges-Collaboration call of the State Program for Research, Development and Innovation Oriented to the Challenges of Society, within the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2013-2016.  with the main objective of promoting technological development, innovation and quality research.

The PISCIA project is a platform for the interoperability of water cycle services, whose main objective is to develop an experimental prototype of a BIM environment for the water sector capable of integrating, orchestrating and offering new water management services to operational and strategic managers.

This prototype will allow the interconnection, management and intelligent orchestration of existing tools, systems, applications, and devices not only in the water infrastructure but also in other services offered to citizens (energy, health, banking, etc.). The implementation and use of open standards at the process level will maximize interoperability (syntactic and semantic), homogenize the exchange of information and allow new events to be derived based on the information exchanged, taking a step forward towards cross-interoperability between domains.

All this technology will be validated in a treatment plant in Marbella through an experimental prototype in a controlled environment.

The project will last 27 months and will have a consortium led by IDP with the participation of the Andalusian Water Research Centre Foundation and Eurecat, which collaborates in the project through the Smart Management Systems Unit.
