Wisely was a Sardinian Regional project (POR FESR Sardegna 2014-2020 programme) coordinated by Lifely s.r.l. and supported by the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Sassari. The project aimed to design a new device and an ICT platform for soil monitoring that can cover two specific fundamental objectives: Configurability and Standardization.

Configurability: The use of local sensors enables the monitoring of important data such as water consumption, soil temperature and moisture. These data are related to environmental information such as weather forecasts and / or other parameters that can significantly modify the result of the forecast. A fundamental characteristic of the Wisely device and ICT platform is the extreme configurability of the data that are detected, the possibility of making them available to the user and allowing for their correlation through the Internet with heterogeneous data not locally detectable.

Standardisation: Wisely adheres to the communication and interface standards through Open API in order to guarantee growth even outside Wisely. One of the general research objectives of the WISELY project was to create a real “open data ecosystem” in which the availability of data, the existence of algorithms capable of processing them, and the creation of end-user applications capable of enhancing them were based on an approach open to possible future additions.
