Used in PoCs
  1. DLR in Germany has created two pieces of hardware (GeoBox, HofBox) for farmers, and is proposing to work across the country in a public/private partnership program.  This technical project uses Open Horizon as a key component for their offline-first approach to edge computing.

  2. Foxconn Industrial Internet has ported the Open Horizon agent to work on their 5G AI Box and is using it as an integral piece of their vertical farming solution in conjunction with Nordic Harvest and YesHealth!

  3. I could list a few other PoCs, but they use a commercial downstream distribution, so I'm not sure if they're valid examples.  For instance, the Port of Barcelona is using it to detect and identify boats (and their bow and stern) approaching the harbor, and is using deployed inferencing algorithms to derive the location/position of those boats, all being inferred on the edge.

Substantial ongoing commits and contributions

Community participation meets growth plan goals
Evidence of interoperability, compatibility with other LF Edge projects
  1. Open Horizon and SDO hosted a joint demo at ONES-NA last September.  Open Horizon integrates SDO redezvous services into our management hub and CLI since SDO 1.8, and is continually upgrading that support as new SDO releases come out.  We're now supporting SDO 1.10.  Open Horizon also has a technical and project liaisons to the SDO project.
  2. Open Horizon is almost complete with integration into EdgeX Foundry's Sensor Fusion demo, which also updates Open Horizon's EXF integration work.  We're participating in their Kubernetes Support sub-project.  And we just announced our participation in the Open Retail Reference Architecture, an EXF Vertical Solutions WG sub-project, which you're all invited to participate in as well.  We plan to create an Akraino blueprint from this effort.
  3. Open Horizon has worked with SOTE by providing project information, updating landscape information, submitting postcards from the edge, and providing a project liaison that regularly attends their meetings.
  4. Open Horizon is about to begin collaborating with Fledge on specific deliverables.  We're now in the process of creating a sub-group under the Open Horizon TSC for those efforts.
  5. We have plans and ideas about collaborations with EVE and Home Edge, and hope to make further progress on those in 2021.
