SMARTPHOTOLIVE Operational Group: Application of artificial intelligence in olive-energy cooperatives

Expected results

• The goal is to produce a demonstration of intelligent energy management using a system based on Big Data and Deep Learning, which will demonstrate the benefits of applying artificial intelligence in fields such as energy, and which can be extrapolated to all Andalusian agri-food cooperatives.
• This would diversify the mill's activities by providing new energy revenues and providing a valuable service to its members.
• Generate new learnings about energy consumption habits in the olive oil industry, households, farms, and irrigation communities.
• Create an energy design project aimed at the olive oil cooperative's activities.
• Develop a web platform for communicating energy-efficient recommendations so that the electricity produced is consumed efficiently by each of the energy cooperative's users. Impact and potential.
• Creation of direct and indirect jobs in the municipalities influenced by the oil mills/cooperatives.
• Improving the profitability of all stakeholders in the olive oil sector's value chain, including farmers, irrigation communities, olive mills, packers, and ultimately, virgin olive oil customers.
• Reduction in energy consumption costs for customers, including partners, close to the agri-food industries.

Recommendations: The model would be perfectly applicable to any energy community outside the context of the agri-food industry, and more specifically to olive oil cooperatives.
