In the age of AI, the chemical industry finds itself on the brink of a major shift, propelled by the demands for enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.‍ Edge AI emerges as a key technological enabler, offering unparalleled capabilities for real-time monitoring and control, predictive maintenance, supply chain management, and enhancing sustainability and energy waste optimization.

In an era where sustainable and efficient energy solutions are more critical than ever, Barbara's recent partnership with other 33 companies in the ODEON project will contribute to the journey towards a greener, smarter energy future.

One more year, Barbara has been chosen as one of the top 100 Edge Computing Companies to watch in 2024 based on its accomplishments in 2023 and the exciting developments coming this year.

ODEON a European Horizon project has just been launched with the mision to create an inclusive ecosystem of stakeholders characterized by the integration of a mesh of Data, Intelligence,Service, and Market flows. With a budget of 22,56 M€ allocated over four years, the project represents a significant stride toward a sustainable, secure, and competitive energy supply.

Barbara is actively working on a number of Research and Development projects promoted by the Basque Business Development Agency (SPRI) and supported by the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF).

The virtualization of electrical equipment is becoming a game changer. By decoupling hardware from software, organizations can unlock significant advantages, from cutting costs and reducing maintenance to boosting safety. In this article, we explore the key benefits and challenges of virtualizing substations and how this approach is transforming the way critical infrastructure is managed.

We are excited to announce the release of Barbara 2.7.0, a significant upgrade to our Edge AI Platform. Barbara continues to empower energy distributors, infrastructure managers, logistics operators, and manufacturers to seamlessly integrate the IT/OT worlds, harnessing the full potential of AI with unmatched privacy, autonomy, and real-time latency.

InCharta, a groundbreaking application developed by Ingelectus, has just been added to our portfolio of Edge Apps in Barbara Marketplace. InCharta is set to revolutionize the way you perceive and manage low-voltage networks, providing invaluable insights through its interactive and AI-powered capabilities.

Barbara Marketplace keeps growing with the addition of Cuerva's AI Forecasting Model. Developed by experts in the Smart Grid at Cuerva, the Spanish DSO, this application leverages the transformative power of edge technology and cutting-edge AI techniques to revolutionize energy grid planning and operations.
