This facility provides the hardware for the AgrospAI Data Space, which is federated with the agrifoodTEF Data Space and offers, among other things, compute-to-data capabilities and multiple data room configurations for running data processing services, including AI and particularly Deep Learning. The data space is backed by a cluster that, combined, provides 280 CPU cores, 1.7 TB of CPU memory, 6 GPUs providing a total of 288 GB of GPU memory, and 28 TB of high-speed storage.

The IoT & Cyber-Physical Measurement Systems laboratory of CeSMA carries out research and service activities towards third parties through the experimentation and development of measurement systems, which allow advanced
interaction approaches, enabled thanks to the most recent interfacing, communication and information representation solutions.

Main equipment includes a multiparameter metre station that monitors different water quality parameters including pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature; an IRGA system for measuring leaf gas exchanges; a psychrometer and a pressure chamber for measuring the water potential on leaves; a leaf area metre and fluorometre that enables quick and precise measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters; probes for ion detection in leaf sap.

The Vision+Robotics programme combines our rich domain knowledge with technology: we bring together a diverse team of more than 40 experts in computer vision, robotics, AI, and spectral imaging from all corners of WUR. This unique synergy creates a powerhouse of tech-savvy researchers, united by a shared commitment to developing high-tech solutions that benefit both the planet and its inhabitants.

With the real-world setting, we are able to undertake research and validate results with many external farmers and partners involved to get the dairy farming to the next generation of data-driven stables and fields. We work on circular agriculture, nature-inclusive agriculture, climate-robust agriculture and precision agriculture. 

As a trusted technology partner in the agri-food sector, it offers advanced capabilities across cloud environments as well as traditional architectures, integrating solutions for virtualisation, containers, and orchestration. This combination ensures enterprise-level scalability, security, and availability, enabling the deployment of innovative applications and access to advanced analytics and machine learning services.

Hispatec facility offers a wide range of technological infrastructure services tailored to the specific needs of each initiative: 

For this purpose, tensiometer LoRaWAN are devices to measure the soil moisture. A tensiometer consists of a vacuum gauge connected by a tube to a porous ceramic tip. The tube is filled with water. The ceramic tip is permeable, and the water in the tube saturates it. The tip is placed in contact with the soil in the root zone. Because the soil is normally not saturated, water is drawn from the tip into the soil. As water moves from the tube into the soil, a partial vacuum is created and measured by the gauge.
